What is the charm of Luodian Dragon Ship?
Let's take a look.~
Luodian Dragon Ship
Luodian Dragon Boat is very regional and cultural, and is the birthplace of Shanghai Dragon Boat. Luodian has formed a cultural brand with dragon boats as the core, "spring has flowers and gods have paintings in autumn, and dragon ships have lights in summer and winter", creating a new development pattern of global promotion, year-round development and participation of the whole people.

Dragon boats flew across, and thousands of people watched. The ship is in Baoshan, which is a history that cannot be avoided, and it is also a plot that cannot be solved. The Luodian Dragon Ship, which has a history of more than 400 years, has been carried forward today. Baoshan has held the 15th Luodian Dragon Boat Festival, which has brought new glory to the prestigious folk traditional culture of Luodian Dragon Boat. In 2008, the Luodian Dragon Ship was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Luodian town residents created Luodian folk paintings with the theme of rowing dragon boats
In Luodian, dragon boats have a traditional set of specific patterns, such as publishing information with "standing drills" (also known as "poles") during activities. The performance of the Luodian Dragon Boat is even more unique, with the helmsman stepping on the boat board with his foot, directing the rower, and the orchestra on the boat playing a special repertoire to match the performance. At the same time, land performances are also colorful, as many as a dozen. The most exciting part of the dragon boat show is the "punch move", different combinations of "hit move", can form a variety of different formations and directional lines, so as to transform the "chain string", "lotus hoop", "cross ring" and "group turn".
The hull decoration of the Luodian dragon ship is also very exquisite: the dragon head is carved with camphor wood, the mouth of the dragon mouth contains pearls, open to the sky, and the dragon's tail is high; the front part of the ship is an archway with the ancient building "Arctic Pavilion" of the Ming Dynasty as the style, and there are pavilions, carved beams and paintings, and color tile cornices, which are very beautiful.
Except for the dragon ship

Spring has a flower god
As a traditional cotton planting trade center, Luodian has been particularly revered for the flower god since ancient times. Cotton is also regarded by the Daidailuodian as the "King of All Flowers".

In the new spring, the rice blossoms are chewed, the Lantern Festival is listening to the excitement, and the thousands of lanterns are illuminated, and the silkworms shine on the night of the golden year.
