What's the name of the kite?

In ancient Tomb-Sweeping Day, there was a custom of flying kites to release bad luck. During their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people flew kites day and night, calling a string of colorful lanterns "magic lanterns", symbolizing the light in the dark; There is also cutting strings and flying kites, which is regarded as eliminating diseases and disasters and bringing good luck; Write your troubles on paper and get rid of the customs such as troubles.

In ancient times, people were unable to resist diseases and various natural disasters, so they prayed for good luck. People choose sunny days in Tomb-Sweeping Day, write their names on kites, then put them in the sky, and deliberately cut the string to let the kites fly away, thinking that this can put down "bad luck" and make good luck, so as to achieve the purpose of "eliminating disasters and solving problems". Because it is unlucky to fly a kite, no matter how delicate and beautiful the kite is, cut the string and let it fly away. At the same time, kites released by others can't be picked up and replayed, otherwise it will be called "unlucky".

"The static string rings blue at night, and the palace merchants hold into the wind; It's like a song, but it is blown by the wind. " In the Five Dynasties, Ye Li made a kite in the palace, and the lead wire just collected the wind. Later, bamboo was used as a flute for the head of a kite. The wind blew like a kite, so it was called a kite. Ancient kites have seven names: paper kite, wind kite, wind kite, paper kite, paper crow and paper owl. They have a history of more than 2,000 years in China. According to Han Feizi's Theory of Foreign Storage, it is recorded in Julushan, Mo Zhai (now Qingzhou, Shandong Province) that "the gray tree is a kite, flying for three years, and losing it in one day." This Muharier made by Mozi is the earliest kite in China. In seventy chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin vividly described the scenes of flying crabs, beauties, big fish, weaving bats, phoenixes, sand swallows and other kites in the Grand View Garden.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, China kites have spread all over the world, first in Southeast Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan and Malaya, and then in Europe and America. China's toy kites passed through Kelly in England, Hargrave in Australia and Leigh Lindauer in Germany. Finally, the Wright brothers successfully built the earliest manned plane in the United States. Therefore, a China kite hangs in the lobby of the Washington Air and Space Museum. It says next to it, "The earliest flying machines of mankind were kites and rockets from China".
