The history of swinging in our country is very long, and the origin of swing can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, our ancestors had to climb trees to pick wild fruits or hunt wild animals in order to make a living. While climbing and running, they often grab thick vines and swing on the vines to climb trees or cross ditches. This is the most primitive prototype of the swing. In ancient times, swinging on a swing was only seen around the Qingming Festival and the Cold Food Festival, and was limited to being a game for children of wealthy and aristocratic families. It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that swinging became popular and prevailed across the country, and developed into an important part of the Qingming Festival customs. Therefore, the Qingming Festival was also called the "Swing Festival" in ancient times. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" records: In spring, a long rope is hung on a tall tree, and men and women in colorful clothes sit on it and push and pull it, which is called swinging. In ancient times, swings were mostly made of tree branches as frames, tied with colorful ribbons. Later it gradually developed into a swing with two ropes and pedals. |
