This paper, based on comprehensive use of literature analysis, interviews, field research, logic analysis and other instruments, focuses on the origin, features, legends, rituals, inheritance modes and endangered status of the culture. A conclusion is reached that the specific dragon-boat races and all the rituals in the Miao one-log dragon-boat culture should be protected because of their high cultural value.
