Everyone living in Japan knows that many colorful kites in the shape of carp can be seen dancing under the blue sky every year on Boys' Day. This is a beautiful scenery, which is called "carp" in Japanese. In the Muromachi era of14th century, only samurai were qualified to hang this kite on bamboo poles. In the edo period, it gradually spread among the people. The appearance has also become more beautiful, and it has been used ever since. This custom of flying carp kites on the Dragon Boat Festival, which has faded in China, actually originated from the legend of "carp yue longmen". Carps gather in Longmen in the middle reaches of the Yellow River every March and April. If they can go upstream and cross the waterfalls in the north mountain, they can become dragons. Those carp dancing in the wind really express the feelings of their elders. After the custom of Dragon Boat Festival spread to Japan, it was absorbed and transformed into traditional Japanese culture.
