What do you mean by flying kites in ancient times?

1. In ancient times, flying a kite meant "driving away diseases and disasters and bringing good luck to yourself".

In ancient times, kites were also called paper kites. Paste paper or silk on bamboo poles and other skeletons, pull up the long lines tied to them, and you can put them into the sky in the wind. Children flying kites on the Dragon Boat Festival is called "letting the disaster pass", which means letting the disaster pass.

3. Kite flying originated in China, which is a communication tool invented by ancient working people. The first kite was made of bamboo by Luban. Later, there were only paper kites in the palace. 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. The kite flew into the sky and was blown by the wind, making a "whoop" sound, like the sound of playing a kite, so people renamed it "Kite". Modern general term for kites and organs, including paper kites without whistles. Weifang is known as the kite capital.
