The origin of dragon kite

Origin: Dragon kites were used in court games in Qing Dynasty. Kites are dragon-shaped, with huge taps and magnificent shapes. The dragon beard is thick and slender, unique and unique, and its eyes move, which adds aura to the kite.

There are more than ten scales on the faucet, and the colors are bright and natural. The dragon is slender, covered with green scales and fresh patterns. The interior is connected with a thin rope, and the structure is fine. The dragon's claws are wavy and powerful. This kite is huge, and it is an excellent game equipment in the Qing Dynasty.

A kite is an aircraft powered only by air. Usually, paper or silk is pasted on bamboo strips and other skeletons, which are pulled by long lines tied to them and released into the sky with the wind.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China (more than 2,000 years ago), it was said that Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood. Inspired by this, his disciple Lu Ban switched to bamboo and covered it with silk to make the earliest kite. Later, after Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper was used as the material in the workshop. At this time, kites are called "paper kites".

In the Five Dynasties, Ye Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty once played with a kite, and suddenly thought that "bamboo is a flute on the head of a kite, which makes the wind enter the bamboo and sound like A Zheng". Therefore, later generations called this paper kite that can make a sound "kite".

Extended data

First, if a kite wants to fly, it must have wind;

Second, kites can only fly by pulling the string. As for the broken kite, it can't fly far. So the kite in the wind, traction and the lift mentioned above, these three forces can be balanced in the air.

In the air, assuming that the direction of the wind is basically horizontal, the angle of the wind and the lift of the kite are controlled by the lift line of the kite. If we increase the traction, that is, the force acting on the lifting line, we can make the windward angle of the kite tend to 45, then the upward force will increase, and the kite will fly very high at this time.

When the traction decreases, the kite will fly higher and farther under the combined action of wind and lift, but we must quickly increase the traction again to keep the kite's angle stable again and make it reach a balanced state.
