Why are the kites in Weifang so "rolled"? This has to start a long time ago.
In Weifang, Shandong, kite culture has a long history. According to legend, during the Qin and Han dynasties, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which was the earliest origin of human kites. And the Lushan where Mozi lives is now the area of Qingzhou, Weifang, Shandong.
In addition, Weifang kites are also inseparable from New Year's painting skills. In the Ming Dynasty, the villagers of Yangjiabu Village in Weifang already had the engraving skills of woodblock New Year paintings. People paste the pigments and paper patterns of the New Year paintings on the kite skeleton and tie them into a unique Weifang kite.

In May 2006, Weifang kites were also included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
With the development and evolution of kite technology, the production skills of Weifang kites have been continuously enriched and improved, and the application of new materials and technologies has also made the themes of modern kites diverse and ingenious. This also leads to the scene of "everything can go to the sky" at the annual Weifang International Kite Festival.

If you compare the sky to the sea upside down
Then a kite is a fish that can fly
As long as there is wind
The sky can be turned into the ocean
Didn't know so many kites
Which one appeals to you the most?
