What is a kite made of?

The structure of the kite is divided into the following four parts:

Skeleton: the frame that supports the whole kite;

Shelter: the part that bears the wind;

Line lifting: the connection between kite and flying line;

Fly line: the line that pulls the kite up.

Besides silk and paper, kites are also made of plastic. Bone stems include bamboo poles, wooden sticks and glue sticks. Someone has designed a boneless kite, whose structure is to introduce air into a wind pit made of silk, so that the kite can form a lightly floating air pillow, and then ride the wind.

Extended data

China kite has a long history and superb skills, which has long been recognized by the world. However, if we want to study it carefully, there are not many detailed information about kites in China, let alone the specific skills of kites in China. Cao Xueqin, a legendary figure in China, wrote "Kite Trial in North and South", which is a monograph describing China's kite skills.

However, not only have we not seen the full text of this book, but even this statement is true or false. Cao Shi really has this set of works of art studio, and there is still insufficient circumstantial evidence. The academic circles are still arguing and there is no conclusion.
