Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, a dragon boat race is held in Jimei Dragon Boat Pool in Xiamen. Jimei Dragon Boat Race is called "Don't get fat" in Minnan. "Farewell to Fat" is an ancient Chinese language in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period 2200 years ago. It's the same as "Dragon Boat Race", but with different meanings. Mr. Chen Jiageng, an advocate of Jimei Dragon Boat Race in Xiamen, once said: In the past, the dragon boat race we advocated was to exercise and strengthen people's physique, to compete for unity and grace, and to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. The history of dragon boat race in Jimei Dragon Boat Pool in Xiamen covers the whole China dragon boat culture from the Dragon Boat Festival four or five thousand years ago to the farewell ceremony more than two thousand years ago. Dragon boat racing culture in Jimei Longchi, Xiamen has a long history. The custom of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King on May 5th four or five thousand years ago has been passed down to this day, and the Dragon Palace built in ancient times still exists. Chen, the ancestor of Jimei, moved to southern Fujian from Gushi County, Henan Province, and brought other folk customs of Luohe River Basin to Jimei. After several generations of reproduction, Jimei people flourished and began to use fishing boats in the bay west of the fishing village (today's outer, middle and inner Longzhouchi area). Jimei's "don't talk" is getting more and more prosperous. In front of the altar on the fifth day of May, we will go to the Dragon Palace in the southwest corner of the village to worship the Dragon King, hold a ceremony of "inviting water", and then bathe in the holy water we invited back to "wash" the altar. In order to win the championship together with other places, Jimei people selected young fishermen from all corners and set up their own Xiamen Jimei Dragon Boat Pool team, which specially built a shuttle boat with a dragon-like body, which can take 18 people. This dragon boat is moored at Xiyan (now Dragon Boat Pool). This dragon boat in Longzhouchi, Jimei, Xiamen, sailed in Jinhai, Xiamen, participated in the competition and won the bid many times, dominating the coast of southern Fujian. It was honored as the "Eighteen Dragon Boat" and was famous in all directions. Chen Jiageng made the past serve the present, inherited and developed the unique style of the Chinese nation, and changed it into a dragon boat race in Longzhouchi, Jimei, Xiamen. It makes foreign things serve China and blends Chinese and western cultures. It held the competitive dragon boat race for the first time in the history of dragon boat race, which made the Chinese dragon boat race change from folk sports games to competitive sports. Through reform and innovation, Chen Jiageng formulated the first statute of dragon boat race in China, and created the first artificial pool dedicated to dragon boat race in China-Jimei Dragon Pool in Xiamen, making Jimei the first place in China to hold the international dragon boat race.
