Originated from China's vogue in the world's spring sky "kite" Qidouyan

Kite, known as "kite" in ancient times, originated from China and has a long history of flying around the world. Let's go into the cultural mark in the kite craft
Kites date back more than two thousand years ago. Han Feizi, The Doctrine of External Storage, recorded that "Mozi was made of wood kite after three years, and became famous and failed in one day". Before the Han Dynasty, people often called kites "wooden kites". During this period, kites were mostly used for military purposes. When Cailun improved the papermaking technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the silk silk used for making kites was replaced by paper, and "flying paper kites" became popular as a recreational way.

Kites became more and more popular in literature and art after the Song Dynasty. Gao Ding, a poet in Qing Dynasty, wrote his pastoral poem, "Children come back from school early and are busy flying paper kites while the east wind blows", which vividly depict the happy scenes of people flying kites in spring and has been widely known up to now.

Due to different customs, climate characteristics and aesthetic styles in different regions, Chinese kites have gradually developed a variety of unique genres, such as Beijing Kite represented by Shayan, Tianjin Weiji Kite with exquisite materials and colors, Nantong Plate Harrier Kite like "air symphony" during flight, and Weifang Kite with rich and well-known styles.

Binding, pasting, drawing and flying are traditional kite making techniques, which are still intact up to now. Kite craftsmen sharpen one blade to create different binding techniques.

Kite drawing is also a comprehensive painting technology, which needs to take into account the visual aesthetic effect and the farsighted effect during flying. There are not only traditional Chinese painting kites with Chinese painting skills and aesthetic characteristics as the style, but also realistic kites pursuing similarity and strong realism. It can not only be released, but also become a decoration and collection.
