In the past, each dragon boat used to hold 40 to 50 paddlers but now each dragon boat can hold about 20 paddlers.

In the past, the dragon boats had sails and tails but now the boats do not have any sails or tails.

Paddlers in the past used to paddle in dirty and murky water. Now the paddlers row in clear and clean water.

The dragon boats in the past did not have as many designs as those we have now.

The dragon boats that were used last time required about 40 paddlers to paddle. Now, only about 20 paddlers are required.

Another thing I note is that dragon boats in the past were longer than those used now.

Previously, they had to paddle in dirty and unclear water,

but now they can paddle in clear water.

Last time, the dragon boats used seemed to be bigger. Now, they are slightly smaller.

In the past, the dragon boaters had gong strikers as the boats set sail

but now they have drummers to encourage the dragon boat teams.

The dragon boats in the past

were longer than the dragon boats used

presently. Back then,

the boats also had sails which helped the

paddlers move along.
