What types of kites are there?

Kites were invented by working people in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which has been more than 2,000 years since. According to legend, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which took three years to develop, and was the earliest origin of human kites. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve kite materials in Mo Zhai. It was not until Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty that people began to make kites out of paper, which was called "paper kites". The following are the types of kites I arranged for you. Welcome to reading. I hope you will like them.

Kites are tied with thin bamboo to form a skeleton, then pasted with paper or silk, tied with long lines and lifted into the air by the wind. China's traditional kite skills include four kinds: tying, pasting, painting and flying. Binding is to achieve symmetry, and the left and right areas are equal, including: selecting, splitting, bending, cutting and connecting; "Sticking" means ensuring that everyone is flat and clean, and it also includes: selecting materials, cutting, pasting, trimming and proofreading; "Painting" means seeing the real effect clearly from a distance, including: color, background, drawing, dyeing and mending; "Release" means adjusting the lifting angle according to the wind power, including: wind, line, release, adjustment and collection. Kites can be divided into two categories: "hard arm" and "soft wing". "Hard-armed" kites have hard wings and strong winds, and fly high; "Soft-winged" kites are soft and can't fly high, but they can fly far. In terms of style, in addition to traditional birds, animals, insects and fish, new styles such as character kites have been developed in modern times.

In addition to other series, software, dual-track manipulation, advertising, other categories are divided into micro, small, medium, large and super-large.

(1) Dragon: It is classified according to the diameter and the number of kite segments, and the number of segments does not include the faucet.

1. Miniature: less than 6 cm in diameter and more than 20 knots.

2. Small size: diameter 10 cm to 15 cm, more than 40 knots.

3. Medium-sized: 20 cm to 25 cm in diameter, with more than 60 knots.

4. Large: 30 cm to 35 cm in diameter, with more than 80 knots.

5. Oversize: the diameter is more than 40 cm, 100 knots or more.

(2) Plate type, soft wing type and hard wing type: according to the plane area of the kite. The calculation method is the longest and widest kite skeleton, and its product is the area of the kite.

1. Miniaturization: the area is below 0.05 square meters.

2. Small size: the area is 0. 1 m2 to 0.3m2..

3. Medium-sized: the area is 0.5 square meters to 0.7 square meters.

4. Large scale: the area is 0.9 square meters to 1. 1 square meter.

5. Oversize: the area exceeds 1.3 square meters.

(3) Stereotype: Kites are classified according to the area of windward side. The calculation method is' the longest times the widest (or chord length) kite main skeleton, and the product is the area of the kite.

1. Miniaturization: the area is below 0.05 square meters.

2. Small size: the area is 0. 1 m2 to 0.3m2..

3. Medium-sized: the area is 0.5 square meters to 0.7 square meters.

4. Large scale: the area is 0.9 square meters to 1. 1 square meter.

5. Oversize: the area exceeds 1.3 square meters.

(4) Soft and hard wing lines and board lines: the area of each type of kite with a single soft and hard wing and board shall prevail, and each type of kite must have more than 5 knots.

(5) Other categories, such as character strings, software, dual-track manipulation, advertisements, etc., are not classified.

Extension: Skills and precautions for flying kites

skill

First, before flying a kite, you should know the direction and speed of the wind. If there is a flag or smoke blowing nearby, just look at the direction it floats. Or pick up hay or some small pieces of paper into the air? Go, you can also measure the correct wind direction.

2. When the wind is strong enough, you can fly a kite in Dont Ask For Help, take the kite string by yourself, run against the wind, and watch the kite soar until the wind is strong enough for the kite to climb, and then you can stop and pay off the line slowly. When the wind doesn't continue, take back the line quickly and give the wind manually. If you feel the kite string pulling, you should seize the opportunity to pay it off. If the kite has a downward trend, you should quickly take back part of the kite line until the kite can hold on in the sky.

When flying a kite, you'd better have an assistant to help you. Stretch the kite line by about 10 meter, face the headwind, and gently hold the skeleton behind the kite with your thumb and forefinger (it is easier to get rid of it). (When the gust comes, the caster will gently pull the kite out of the assistant's hand (there is no need to ask the assistant to let it go), and pay off the line while running until the kite rises to a considerable height, and gently shake it back and forth to stabilize the kite. Many people usually ask their assistants to let go, and the assistants hold the kites or throw them. Sometimes they run forward regardless of the problems before and after. These are all wrong flying methods.

4. If you fly several kites at a time, you must consider the connection between the kite and the string.

If the kite flies steadily, it can be tied to a tree trunk or an object to make it float. However, in the case of unstable wind direction, it must be manipulated at will. When the wind suddenly turns strong, the kite swings and the inclination is too large, it will be in danger of overturning and falling. At this time, there are two control methods: one is fast pay-off. Second, running a few steps quickly in the direction of the kite can alleviate its situation. Sometimes the wind stops and the kite falls. Shake the kite a few times or run quickly backwards. If you are in no way back, you can close the line quickly.

6. If two kite strings are intertwined, the caster should not panic, immediately approach the intertwined ones, exchange adjustments with each other, and let the strings loose.

7. When taking back the kite, take it in slowly and try to stay away from the tall trees to avoid the kite falling and hanging on the trees.

Matters needing attention

First, choose spacious non-traffic roads at the place where flying kites, and pay attention to the surrounding ground conditions. The road surface should be flat and there should be no gullies and ridges. Observe the buildings within the range of motion in advance, because people are always going backwards in the process of flying kites, so pay special attention to prevent falling.

Second, pay attention to observe whether there are wires around to prevent the kite from touching the wires and causing electric shock. Try to keep the kite dry. If you hang them on the wire, don't take them away in a hurry to prevent electric shock and fall.

Thirdly, due to the characteristics of kite movement, it takes a long time to look up and keep the same posture for a long time. Therefore, the elderly and athletes with insufficient blood supply to vertebral artery should be reminded to avoid turning their heads suddenly when participating in this sport, so as to prevent sudden contraction of cerebral vessels, and at the same time, the length of time to participate in sports should be adjusted according to their physical condition.

For athletes with respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases, try to avoid flying kites in noisy venues for a long time.

5. Protect skin and body organs according to weather changes. When flying a kite, we should pay attention to the relationship between the wind direction and the sun to prevent the damage of the reflection of the sun's light to the eyes. When the weather is warmer, we should pay attention to sun protection to avoid solar dermatitis, skin cancer that may be caused by excessive ultraviolet rays and dehydration under the scorching sun. When the weather is not too mild, the elderly and people with poor peripheral nerves should pay special attention to climate change and exercise properly, because standing for a long time will lead to frostbite of hands and feet.
