"Paint" with the kite and let go of the childlike heart
The children under the stairs look up, and the Qingming decoration is the most appropriate. Kite flying during the Qingming Festival is an important custom in ancient China, and the ancients believed that the wind during the Qingming Festival was the most suitable for kite flying, and kite flying was regarded as a way to pray for blessings.

During the activity, the community staff explained in detail to the children the steps of making kites and the origin of kites, and interacted with the children on the cultural anecdotes of kites, which deepened everyone's understanding of the history of kites. With the explanation of the staff, the children picked up the paintbrush, dipped it in paint, and depicted it with full attention, colorful colors and wild imagination, and they painted spring into the kite. Colorful kites flutter in the air, and children run around the square, enjoying the joy of spring.

In the next step, Shatou Street will continue to take the traditional festival as an opportunity to innovate the expression and connotation of traditional culture, and constantly enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the masses.
