Flights of kites

Many people hold at least one memory of a kite — be it a simple yet classic diamond-shaped model, or a colorful bird-shaped kind with vividly flapping wings. It could be a sunny spring day in a pastoral landscape with family members. As the wind picks up, the flyer runs as fast as they can, until the kite ascends high into the sky and dances in the air.

Throughout history, kites have been close to people's daily lives and influenced by folk traditions. They have not only become embedded in folk culture but also provide entertainment and physical activity. This heritage has been passed down, demonstrating the enduring vitality of Chinese civilization.
