Is spring suitable for flying kites? What's the meaning of flying kites?
Flying kites in spring can get rid of diseases and strengthen the body. In winter, when people stay indoors for a long time, their qi and blood stagnate and their internal heat increases, which easily leads to the imbalance of human thermal balance and 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.
The fitness and medical effects of flying kites have long been valued by people. In Song Dynasty, Sok Li said in "Continued Natural History" that flying a kite "can vent your anger by opening your mouth". Fu Cha Dunchong in Qing Dynasty said in Yanjing Year: "Flying kites in the air is the best way to see clearly." Indeed, when flying a kite, you can see the kite flying with the wind and swaying in the blue sky and white clouds, which can adjust your eyesight, eliminate eye muscle fatigue and prevent myopia. With the progress of science and technology and people's understanding that flying kites can strengthen the body, foreign countries such as "kite sanatorium" also came into being. Medical experts believe that "kite therapy" is effective for neurasthenia, decreased vision and other diseases.
In ancient times, flying kites meant flying kites. When the kite flies far away, deliberately cutting the kite string and letting it fly away means that the kite's departure takes away people's bad luck, troubles, depression, anxiety and illness.
The moral of flying kites in ancient times: Before Sui and Tang Dynasties, flying kites was still an outdoor activity with witchcraft significance, in order to let people put down their bad luck. When the kite flies high, people deliberately cut the lead, and then let the kite fly far away. It is said that it can take away people's bad luck, troubles, depression, worries and diseases.
During the Qingming Festival, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is sunny, and plants sprout, which is a good time to fly kites. So on this day, the ancients wrote all their troubles on paper, and then people tied the paper in a kite to make it fly, so that the paper full of troubles would never come back with the kite.
Therefore, flying kites is not only a cultural and recreational activity, but also an amulet for ancient people to ward off evil spirits during festivals. Of course, with the passage of time, flying kites has already washed away the old witchcraft color, and the ancients just used it to express their good wishes.
