Flying Kites

放風(fēng)箏

Flying kites is an activity favored by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kite or to the kitestring. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly free. It is said this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this.

放風(fēng)箏也是清明時(shí)節(jié)人們所喜愛的活動(dòng)。每逢清明時(shí)節(jié)，人們不僅白天放，夜間也放。夜里在風(fēng)箏下或風(fēng)箏拉線上掛上一串串小燈籠，像閃爍的星星。在這一天特別的是，有的人把風(fēng)箏放上藍(lán)天后，便剪斷牽線，任憑清風(fēng)把它們送往天涯海角。據(jù)說這樣能除病消災(zāi)，給自己帶來好運(yùn)。
