What is the origin of flying kites? It's a variant.

We have all experienced the game of flying kites since childhood, especially in autumn, but we are all confused about the source and used to this game. So what is flying a kite?

The source of flying kites:

Flying a kite is one of the traditional folk games and a holiday custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are also called organ, paper kite, kite and paper kite. Originated in China, it is a communication tool invented by ancient working people. Lu Ban made his first kite out of bamboo. Later, only the palace had paper kites. In Minnan, it is called wind blowing. Kite is a product that is heavier than air and can float in the air with the help of wind. In the late Tang Dynasty, bamboo flutes were added to paper kites. Kites fly into the sky and are blown by the wind, making a "whoop" sound, like the sound of playing kites. So people changed the name of "paper kite" to "kite". In modern times, kites and organs are collectively called, including paper kites without whistles. Weifang is known as the kite capital.

Tomb-Sweeping Day: This is an ancient traditional festival in China. Also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival, etc. This festival is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day is the biggest ancestor worship festival of the Chinese nation, which originated from ancient ancestor belief and spring worship custom. Tomb-Sweeping Day has two connotations of nature and humanity, which are both natural solar terms and traditional festivals. Grave-sweeping and ancestor-worship outing are two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day, which have been passed down since ancient times in China.
