Why do you fly kites in spring?

The wind is relatively stable in spring, and kites are easier to take off.

You can fly kites every season, but it is spring and autumn that are suitable for staying outdoors for a long time. It is not good to stand in the sun for a long time when it is light and hot in summer, and it is too cold in winter to reach out.

Jiangnan people have the custom of flying kites in Qingming since ancient times. The Shanghai proverb "February 2nd, rub hemp thread, March 3rd, fly a kite" is another example, "Yangliuqing, fly a kite". When people fly kites, they sometimes run with strings and sometimes look up at the distance, which not only has the joy and interest of spring, but also can keep fit. It is also said that sending a kite to the sky, cutting the string and letting it float away will take away the pain and troubles of a year together.

Kites originated in China. According to legend, the first kite was inspired by the skillful craftsman Lu Ban, who circled the kite, "Cut the bamboo into magpies and then fly them." The earliest kites were called kites. In the Han Dynasty, China invented papermaking. People began to paste kites with paper, and the word "paper kite" came into being. According to Amin Chen Yi, in the Five Dynasties, Ye Li made a kite in the palace and took the lead in playing with the wind. Behind the kite head, bamboo is the flute, which makes the wind make the sound of a kite. From then on, it began to be called "kite".

People who stay indoors for a long time in winter will stagnate their qi and blood, and their internal heat will rise, which will easily lead to imbalance of body heat balance and cause some diseases. When everything is revived in the spring, flying kites in the suburbs, climbing high and looking far, the weather is clear, the vegetation is beautiful, breathing fresh air, basking in the sun and stretching the bones and muscles can promote the cell metabolism of the human body, improve the blood circulation, eliminate the accumulated heat in the body, and play the role of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body.
