The process of children making kites by hand

The process of children making kites by hand is as follows:

First, prepare a piece of colored handmade paper as the main body of the kite, pour some different colors of pigments into the paper tray, coat the pigments on the seal or bottle cap with a cotton swab, and start decorating the handmade paper according to your own preferences.

Then fold the dried handmade paper in half along the width direction, and a broken line will appear on the paper. After rotating the paper by 90 degrees, the two corners of the narrow side are folded inward until they overlap on the middle folding line, so that the upper part becomes a triangle, and the lower left corner and the lower right corner are also folded inward.

Continue to open the folding line, turn the paper over, and you can see the diamond-shaped crease. Cut out a diamond with scissors, which is the main body of the kite.

Then stick the straw on the two diagonal lines of the diamond and cut off the parts other than the paper.

Finally, after applying glue to one end of the hair root strip, insert it as the tail of the kite into the end of the straw at the dotted line in the middle, and tie some beautiful colored ribbons on the hair root strip to make the kite look like flying in the air.

Pupils' hand-made kites are drawn.

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.
