A search on google by the key words "boat meaning Chinese culture" presents quite a few points on this topic:
-Emperor Li Shmin’s quotes “Water can float a boat and can also overturn a boat”

1. "Tongzhou Gongji" (meaning "cross the river in the same boat"
2. Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the significance of preserving intangible cultural heritage when the ROK planned to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture.
3. Chinese Proverb
百世修来同船渡，千载修得共枕眠 (bai3 shi4 xiu1 lai2 tong2 chuan2 du4, qian1 zai4 xiu1 de2 gong4 zheng3 mian2) (hundred+generations+cultivate+return+same+vessel+crossover, thousand+transport+cultivate+obtain+together+pillow+sleep)

Literally: It takes hundreds of reincarnations to bring two persons to ride on the same boat; it takes a thousand eons to bring two persons to share the same pillow.

Moral: It is fate and yuanfen that brings two persons together, value an encounter and treasure a relationship.
Note: These two phrases do not rhyme, but have parallel grammatical structure, i.e, subject to subject, verb to verb, etc.
Usage: Sometimes used in marriage counselling to advise the couples having problems to resolve it, before making any hasty decisions.
