The implication and symbol of kites
Kites, through the image of patterns, give people the meaning of happiness, auspiciousness and good wishes. At the same time, kites blend people's appreciation habits, reflect people's kind and healthy thoughts and feelings, and penetrate our national traditions and folk customs. It is understood that kites were invented in China. According to legend, Hodge made a bird with its head, which took three years to develop successfully. This is the earliest origin of human kites. Later, his student Lu Ban improved them with bamboo and further developed them into today's multi-line kites.
Introduction of kites
Kites are very light and fly high with the wind, which is praised by the world. The auspicious patterns of kites use images of people, animals, flowers and birds, utensils and some auspicious words, take folk proverbs, auspicious words and fairy stories as the theme, and form the artistic forms of auspicious words and patterns by borrowing, metaphor, imitation, pun, symbol and homophonic expression, which endows people with the meaning of seeking luck, avoiding disasters and taking refuge, and places their wishes for happiness, longevity and celebration.
Kites have a long history in China, and good luck and auspicious patterns can be seen everywhere from the traditional kites in China. In the long years, our ancestors not only created exquisite calligraphy and painting that condensed the wisdom of the Chinese nation, but also created many patterns that reflected people's yearning and pursuit for a better life and implied good luck.
