Step 2 fly a kite

Qing Qianlong's "Jieyang County Records" says: "Chongyang, vulgar, scholar-officials can do it. On that day, the children put more paper kites (that is, flying kites). " The wind is fine in September, and children fly kites more. There is a nursery rhyme that says, "On September 9th, the wind broke the sky."

Chaoshu added, "On September 9, kite boy, walk all over the street." On this day, Chaoshan people have a special custom: flying kites. Chaoshan area is rainy in spring and summer, too cold in winter, and autumn is most suitable for outdoor activities. In the autumn season, the autumn wind is cool, and kites with unique shapes are floating under the blue sky, which makes people feel that life is full of vitality and there is no bleak scene of autumn in the north.

Kites in Chaoshan area are not as famous as those in Weifang, but the custom of flying kites is more common. Kites are mostly small. Cut bamboo sticks into frames, paste white paper with various textures, and then draw various patterns on the paper. Common animals are pomfret, octopus, butterfly and dragonfly.
