Not many details, which is devoted to the Chinese kite even less information on specific skills. Chinese legend of Cao Xueqin’s book “South Harrier Northern kite Kao Gong Chi” is an account of Chinese kite art monographs, but so far only ever get to see the full text of the book, even to say whether this is true, whether there is waste Cao Yi vegetarian set issued this book, is also a lack of sufficient circumstantial evidence materials, academia is still controversy, there is no conclusion.

But hopefully not a substitute for the fact that we can only wait for new discoveries in this area. In addition, is that some type of spread spectrum. As the legend Huizong’s “Vision and kite spectrum” is an older one, but so far is not seen. The other is the kites or kite players personal collection of spectral type, and today we can still find some. China Although these spectral type have limitations, but that is valuable information, which is worth mentioning is the hermitage of the 1930s Gold and Iron “Kite spectrum,” a book more valuable, the downside is no map, which may be due to the time printing publishing conditions and financial constraints there are pictures without printed. China except “spectrum” but also have a valuable kind of information – “bar”, ie making a kite skeleton criteria used bamboo, which are generally in the mass production of the kite family from generation to generation, such as Beijing. ” Kite Ha “family had a bunch of spread generations of the” bar. ” This complements the “spectrum” is only the screen, there is no or only a skeleton of bamboo skeleton and no specific changes in the size and thickness of the lack of skills to make the kite spread more complete. In the text, pictures and in-kind, the Chinese folk arts and crafts skills taught mainly by “mouth and heart,” which is used in folk artists “tactic.” This is to teach good mind and a good used confidential “verses” or “cut.” As artists and cultural level constraints, these verses or cuts tend to have a voice without words, or word invisible, lost in the spread, modify, corruption lot. Chinese kite skills handed down from above discussion mainly limited historical background of cultural heritage as a reference to the existing traditional Chinese kites in accordance with scientific technology and flight mechanics analysis, hoping it for future Chinese kites promotion and development skills to provide a point of reference. Because of my limited level, inappropriate also hope that the experts and scholars, senior enthusiasts, insight and adolescent friends for their valuable comments and criticism. Traditional Chinese kite art summed up in two words: bar, paste, painted, put. Referred to as “four arts.” Simply understand that this “four arts” that tie shelf, paste paper, painted festoons, kite-flying. But in fact these two words meaning is much broader, including almost all of the skills of traditional Chinese kites content. Such as “bar” includes: selection, split, bend, cut, then. “Paste” includes: selection, cut, paste, side school. “Painting” includes: color, bottom, tracing, dyeing, repair. “Release” includes: wind, line, release, transfer, receive. And this “Four Arts” necessary to achieve the comprehensive utilization of kite design and innovation levels.
Our country attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, May 20, 2006, the State Council approved kite-making techniques included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage.

Kite and military
Trace the origin of the kite can be traced back to two thousand years ago in the Warring States (770-221BC) period, because the needs of the war, the ancients to birds shape, the wood for the material, can be made in the air, “wooden kite” . According to “Han Fei left outside the reserve, said,” it reads: “Mo is wooden kite, made three years, day and defeated.” According to “Nahum” records: Lubanga has produced a wooden kite, said: “Public input shifts wooden kite to glimpse Song Dynasty.” In ancient China, wooden kite has been a war an important tool for communication and detectives, and can be used to bring gunpowder warfare offensive weapon.

Kite and entertainment
Tang Dynasty (618-907) established, thanks to ease the class contradictions, stable social order, reduce the burden on the people, the development of a series of measures of economic production, social stability and prosperity soon to become the overall economic development of ancient Chinese culture period . Social stability, cultural and economic development, bringing the prevalence of traditional Chinese festivals. The prevalence of the festival promotes the development of a variety of cultural and recreational activities, as has been used in military kite, with the rise of the traditional Qingming festival, a new twist on the purpose, type transformation began to folk entertainment.

Principle of Operation
As we all know, there are two kite heaven necessary conditions:
(1) kite in windy weather, the kite can fly;
(2) Kite
Kite
Kite
Need to mention the line traction, “broken kite” after a brief Piaoyuan will certainly fall.
Yang force
Yang force generation: Kite in the air by the wind, the air will be divided into upstream and downstream layer. By kite kite lower surface of the air by blocking the air flow rate reduction, pressure rise; comfortable upper air circulation flow rate increased, resulting in lower pressure; Yang force that is determined by the difference between this pressure generated, which is Kites can be reasons for the increase.
Described above, Yang force generation has two elements: (1) wind; (2) traction; This explains the question posed at the beginning. In wind power, traction and the resulting force three Yang under the force of the kite in the air force is essentially reached equilibrium.
Kites in the air by the force: wind direction is substantially horizontal direction, and the wind angle and the kite upward force size, can be easily controlled by the raised lines. After a few sessions kite kite who will soon take control techniques: flying kites, the general is a smoke one place.
Pumping time, because the kite lines are generally provided on the upper surface of the position of the kite, the kite can be controlled to increase the traction angle becomes small, up force increases, the kite steadily; put, when the balance becomes small traction kite, wind Young resultant force and effect, kite fly fly away, but it must be soon drawn to the angle again to keep the kite stable.
Wind Masamori when you can put in more lines, when the wind dropped slightly, to close some of the lines.
The health benefits of
Spring kite flying, on human health is very beneficial. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kites were bathed warm sunshine and spring, the “catharsis heat, enhance physical fitness and the benefits.” Historical “continued Natural History” is also a “kite-flying, mouth looking up, you can Xiere” said.

Kites take to the skies
Kites take to the skies
But too much is not good wind flying, because when the air horizontally excessive force, kite easy “lift” up, it is difficult to control; wind kite fear is uncertain, because the easiest kite “planted” down. The ancients believed that the higher realm of kite: pull up phase, line connected, did not put the time, such as horses FML, after flying into the racetrack like to be full of energy, pull the line tight as the reins, as tame Horses in general, then heaven meditation, running back and forth with the drift.

About the origin of the kite, in general there are four kinds of legends. First, hats, leaves say; Second, sailing, tent say; Third birds say; Fourth, Li Ye said.
But the conclusion kites originated in China, it is unanimously recognized the World Kite sector.
Hats, leaves say
Rain hats heatstroke is an ancient instrument, when humans turned from the hunting and fishing when he started farming, particularly in the tropical and subtropical is essential, then hats made very simple tether also local materials, multi-purpose soft bark fibers. It is said that a farmer was plowing, when suddenly the wind comes up, roll up his hats, farmers quickly catch, about to seize tether. It happened a long tether, hats would like kite flying in the air. Farmers feel very interesting, it would be put to the villagers often hats, and later evolved into flying kites. Foliage along the south from China said. It is said that in ancient times people Kazamaki leaves flying the phenomenon is worship, then tied with hemp leaves and other play stood, and gradually evolved into a kite-flying activities. China Taiwan Gaoshan, Hainan Li people, earlier is to use bread tree leaves kite.
Sailing, tent say
The history of human use of canoe in a long time, as early as 2000 years BC, was used in the production. Subsequently, a sailboat. When the legendary Yu has been a sailing ship. The mechanical fan is with the wind, people will follow the principles of sail, Zhaqi kite-flying. Some people say that kites originated in the north of the tent, the first is that people imitate the wind blew the kite flying in the air tent phenomena manufactured, then gradually evolved into one kind of recreational activity.
Asuka said
From historical records and discovered the ancient kite look, its structure, shape, tie painted technology, a prominent sign is in the shape of birds and more. Thus conclude: the advent of the first kite was inspired by birds, imitating birds made and named by birds. People advocating birds, love birds, birds and kites simulation, is that people pursue a better life. Kite Thus was born, and is unalterable truth. Kites originated in China, which is now widely recognized as the world kite circles conclusions. China’s first kite is made of ancient scientists Mocius. According to China’s historical “outside the reserve, said Han Fei” contains: Mocius home Lushan (now Shandong Qingzhou area) “chop wood for the Harrier, three years to produce, flying day and defeated.” Said Mo is studied for three years, and finally with out of wood a wood bird, but only fly one day and it broke. Mo made this “wood Harrier” is China’s first kite.
The fourth argument is: kite from the Five Dynasties period, Li Ye invention. Ming Chen Yi, the author of the text seen in the “consultation Chu recorded Kite”, wrote: Five Li Ye in the palace as a kite, wind and play the lead. After the first kite with bamboo flute, the wind into the bamboo, such as Ming Cheng, named Kite.
Kite flying time
People say that spring is the most suitable for kite flying, kite needs a medium because of the wind, but not too small spring wind, and cold weather will not be hot. So the best kite in the spring. Flying kites, try not to choose cloudy or rainy days, because the light is too dark and visual concentration can cause myopia.
