This paper introduces the historical and cultural development of kites, the genre and style of kites, the competition rules and Weifang International Kite Fair, and displays various Chinese and foreign kites. I hope these exquisite kite arts can leave a good impression on you. Weifang kite is a combination of locality and artistic tradition, as well as practicality and aesthetics. As far as kite skills are concerned, Weifang kites are different from other folk crafts. They have a strong flavor of local life and vivid charm. The tying technique is bold and innovative, especially the traditional techniques such as kite modeling structure and painting color are applied to kite painting, forming a unique style with beautiful modeling, meticulous tying and bright colors, and then forming Yangjiabu kite and Laoweixian kite. During the development of these two schools, both appeared. Tangjia Kite Tangjia Kite originated in the late Ming Dynasty. Tang's kite works are mostly hard-winged kites with characters. The pictographic kite of Tang Yanshou, the fourth generation descendant of Tang Yanshou, mainly shows the characteristics of things realistically. The "Shuang Yan" kite created by him strengthens the image sense of the swallow kite in modeling and painting, and is vivid, light and full of spirituality.
Zhang Kite Zhang developed the technology of tying the center line according to the wind conditions and mechanical principles in northern spring. He designed the tying technique of the first, second and third lines according to various kites, which made it easy for all kinds of kites to keep balance when flying. His midline technique was adopted by famous kites, which played a great role in the development of kite flying technology later. Mou Dan's kite name is Mou Xiulan. Her masterpiece is fighting kites, and painting peonies is her specialty, so people nicknamed her Mou Dan. The kites made by Mou are mainly barrel-shaped and hard-board, and they are best at expressing characters on flat panels. The middle skeleton made by Mou is slightly fat and has short wings, which can fully show her painting skills. This paper mainly shows the skills of making kites. To make a kite, it usually goes through ten processes, such as design, material selection, shaping, skeleton binding, pasting, cutting, drawing, assembly, foot tying and trial release. The main process can be summarized into four parts, usually called "Four Kite Art". 1, Binding: Binding the skeleton is the basic process of making kites, which can be roughly divided into several processes such as material selection, processing and binding.
2. Paste: After the kite skeleton is ligated, the next step is to paste the painted paper on it. Kite artists in the south are called "masked" and those in the north are called "papered".
3. Painting: The art of kite painting is the embodiment of a comprehensive painting skill. The kite is placed indoors and in the air, which is a beautiful picture. Each painting is a pattern composed of lines and colors, which constitutes the theme of this kite. Drawing, coloring and designing patterns on kites are aimed at better expressing the theme and enhancing the aesthetic feeling of form. Therefore, color and description techniques are also important links in kite making skills.
