The villagers raced to the river and jumped into dragon boats but never found him. As they searched, they beat drums to scare off fish and dragons that might attack his mortal remains. It is a holiday celebrated by boat races in the shape of dragons.</FONT><SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV><A  href="javascript:alert('This link contains javascript.
