How to draw a kite

How to draw a kite:

1, first draw the butterfly's body and two big wings, and then draw several circles inside the wings.

2. Draw two curves outside the wings to connect them to represent the ribbon on the kite, and then draw a long line under the body to represent the kite line.

3. Finally, paint yellow inside the butterfly wings, pink inside the body and small circle, and green inside the head and ribbon.

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".

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be a tool for transmitting information. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the development of paper industry, people began to use paper to paste kites. Flying kites became a popular outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty. In Song Dynasty, Zhou Mi wrote in Old Wulin: "During Qingming Festival, people fly kites in the suburbs and return at dusk."

"Kite" refers to a kite. There are vivid kite-flying scenes in Zhang Zeduan's The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty and Su Hanchen's The Hundred Poems in the Song Dynasty. Mozi (Mo Zhai) passed on his kite-making career to his student Lu Ban (also known as the bus class). In Moruz Wen pian, it is recorded that Lu Ban made a kite out of bamboo according to Mo Zhai's ideal and design.
