Guangxu's "Huizhou Fuzhi" is also recorded. In the folk tradition, besides climbing mountains, flying kites is also a major feature of the Double Ninth Festival.

As for why people fly kites (kites) on the Double Ninth Festival, apart from the climatic reasons that the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is light and bright, paper kites can easily ride the wind, and there are some sayings that are between wizards and witches, which are quite interesting without thinking.

According to legend, flying kites on the Double Ninth Festival is to release bad luck. The higher a kite flies, the more bad luck it takes away. What's more, to make the kite disappear, you need to disconnect it specially.

Another explanation is that flying kites in Chongyang is auspicious and blessed. The better the kite flies, the stronger the blessing. Kite-flying people not only can't break the silk thread, but also try their best to protect it, because if the silk thread breaks, luck and blessings will also drift away.
