HOW TO RACE WITH DRAGONS Over 2,000 years, the making and racing of dragon boats have changed very little. The main differences are the wood used and the decoration. Here are some steps in making a dragon boat the traditional way
9
DRAGON BOAT RACING TODAY In the 1970s, Hong Kong decided to stage an International Dragon Boat Festival and in 1976 the first Hong Kong International Races took place, an event recognized by dragon boaters worldwide as the start of the modern era of dragon boat racing. It soon developed into an enormously successful annual festival, and dragon boat racing spread around the world.

ASSEMBLY

1. Select and link two straight, big cedar trunks as the bottom of the boat, usually called the dragon’s backbone. 2. Make and fix the “butterfly bottom”to the two sides of the backbone.
3. Curve the backbone to make it streamlined. 4. Position the middle line to balance the butterfly bottom.

8. Cut and install seat boards on the crosspieces.
The recent history of dragon boat making distinguished by the type of wood used to make the main body of the boat: Phase 1. Before 1911: Ge wood imported from Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam Phase 2. From 1911- the end of 1990s: pine wood imported from the US Phase 3. Since 2000: cedar wood from Guizhou province, China
9. Install a long wooden board to fix and balance
the body. The board, called the middle lath, is installed above the seats.
10. Reinforce the middle lath and all the seats with bamboo slices

11. Fill all the gaps in the boat with a mixture of mu-oil ( seed oil) and lime. 12. Polish and sand the body to make it smooth. 13. Waterproof the body with coats of mu-oil.

UNEARTHED TREASURES FROM PAGE 1 Wulanmulun in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region is rich in cultural relics dating back between 30,000 and 70,000 years and provides important material for research into the migratory patterns of early humans in Northeast Asia and their adaptation to the glacial environment. The Xichuan and Daoshui discoveries in the same area provided evidence of large-scale migration to the West and proved that decorative stone leaf work extended to the hinterland of the Central Asian plains and China. The findings allow scholars greater scope for research into the transition between the Old and New Stone Ages and the origins of early agriculture. A great many other discoveries do not appear on the list of nominated sites, but their importance is still immense. Excavations at Zhoukoudian in Beijing show clear signs of the controlled use of fire, while the Dayao relics in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region offer new perspectives on the prevailing culture. The 2011 discoveries offer a window onto the world of Old Stone Age Chinese culture, and experts said they will almost certainly promote the integration of archaeological research between China and the rest of the world.
SIDE SCRAPER. A ridged type of tool, distinguished by a working edge on one side. Scrapers were used for working animal hides and wood about 45,000 years ago.
CHIPPED STONE. A tool made from quartzite during the Old Stone Age. This type of tool was easily manufactured, in addition to being easily sharpened and carried.
ANIMAL BONES. Around 12,000 bone fragments from cattle, horses, pigs, antelopes and deer were discovered at the site. They were used as tools approximately 30,000 to 50,000 years ago.
A CEMETERY
Liaoning province from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) Forty-three of the nearly 200 graves in the cemetery were excavated, yielding more than 1,000 burial offerings, mainly bronze objects, including a local type of short sword with a curved body, and a vessel from the Yan State. The picture shows a full view of the outer coffin, where bronze and pottery wares were buried.

The picture shows part of a lock structure at the pier. A carved stone animal, placed in the water to placate the gods, was found near the structure.
During excavations between 2009 and 2011, three main tombs, 11 attendant tombs, two chariot pits and two weapon pits were exposed within the site, together with more than 10,000 fine artifacts.
Yibin, Sichuan province A bronze sword from the Warring States Period. It was discovered along with a host of other items made of pottery, bronze, iron and stone.
The pictures show a gold-decorated copper elephant and a copper animal-shaped supporting structure for a set of stone chimes.
HAMIN PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT RELICS Tongliao, Inner Mongolia autonomous region
QIHE CAVE RELICS
During the excavation process, archaeologists found a number of collapsed houses, wrecked by fire, the effects of which are clearly visible on the wooden structures and frames. Archaeologists believe that the large number of human remains indicates that the settlement was abandoned in the wake of a catastrophe. The discovery of the grave was a breakthrough in the exploration of the settlement’s relics.
Zhangping, Fujian province A rock embellished with a symbol. These signs carved on stones are believed to be the original form of Chinese characters.
YUJIA MOUNTAIN RELICS Yuhang, Zhejiang province (Liangzhu culture) A bracelet-style , or armband. The pieces of various are among 4,000 jade items discovered since October 2008. They were used in religious ceremonies to honor the Earth God. These armbands are known to have been used in Liangzhu culture, famous for its use of jade and dating back to the New Stone Age, 5,300 to 4,200 years ago.

4,000 jade items discovered on the site
Among the discoveries, archaeologists found the remains of stone-lined pits, characteristic of the Old Stone Age, and sites of inhabitation from the New Stone Age. The remains of human skulls, animal bones, shells, pottery vessels and tools made from stone and wood were also discovered.
Some 65 burials and one pit with sacrificial horses were discovered, together with 739 pieces of bronze, ceramic, porcelain, lacquer and wood, jade and stone, which are significant for research into the history of the Zeng State. The pictured rectangular cauldron was engraved with symbols, indicating that the item was made for a Zeng Marquis.

Both items were found in the third national excavation of cultural relics in December, 2008. They were used 7,000 to 17,000 years ago in the Qihe Cave area of Fujian province. The relics, believed to date from a period between the Old Stone Age and the early New Stone Age, have provided the biggest archaeological breakthrough in Southeast Asia during recent years, filling in the blanks about the transition between these prehistoric eras.
The southeast corner of Ring Ditch 2 in Yuhang, Zhejiang province. There are six ring ditches in total, covering an area of 1 square kilometer. Five of the ditches have already been explored, across an area of 150,000 square meters. The ditches represent six related tribes and differences in burial locations and other factors indicate the status of each tribe within the grouping.
Archaeologists believe that all the artifacts will provide valuable material for future research into the health of early humans, the origins of agriculture, technological development and the use of pottery in ancient times.

FACING THE FACTS Wang Na’s historic surgeries involved a complicated series of procedures Wang Na was born without an upper jawbone, and the bones that should have grown onto the upper jawbone also degenerated. As a result, the middle part of her face had no support and was concave.

PHASE 1: DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS OF CHEEKBONES SEPT 5, 2006
Years in treatment Doctors need to be very careful in calculating the shape of the cheekbones, because the cut and inner dynamics of her cheekbones affect the safety of her eyes and brain.
A cut is made in the cheekbones. The healing tissue in the cut is then slowly and gradually stretched, or distracted. Doctors place a device across a cut area of bone.
The distractor pins are turned at precise intervals and distances, until the desired length of bone is reached. This is done about twice daily for one to two weeks.
