Have you ever seen a phoenix? The phoenix soars for nine days, the air runs through Changhong, this thousand-year-old stunt, with the death of the last inheritance teacher, the feather kite making skills are facing loss, is another intangible cultural heritage going to disappear?
The kite you've played with isn't actually called a kite, it's called a paper kite.
The kite only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, when people ingeniously added a whistle to the paper kite, or a bamboo flute, and was blown by the wind after flying into the sky, it could make a guzheng-like sound, so it was named a kite, and the kite we fly now can not make any sound in the sky, so it is a paper kite.
The kite, which was first born in China, is a secret**. During the dispute between Chu and Han, the Han army tied bamboo flutes to the kite and floated to the Chu army camp at night. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wenxuan used a kite to carry out the death penalty, first tying people to a large kite and then throwing it from the top of a tall tower to enjoy the cry of pleasure. In the Ming Dynasty, kites could be planted with bombs and fly into the enemy camp along the direction of the wind.
Feather kites are kites made of feathers, including pheasant feathers, duck feathers, goose feathers, etc.
Feather kite is a form of kite that Mr. Zhang Zhigang innovated in the traditional kite making process, and it takes a lot of time to make feather kites.
It is said that it took more than 3 months for Mr. Zhang Zhigang to make the first feather kite. To go through the process of degreasing, plasticity, pasting, etc., it takes 45 minutes to process a feather, and after such layers of technology, the kite made is like an eagle soaring in the blue sky.
It's not so much a kite, it's a bird, lifelike posture, similar to the shape of a bird, making it extremely ornamental, but it flies through the skies of various countries, so that the world can feel the charm of Chinese kites.
The feather kite was created in the hands of Mr. Zhang Zhigang, and it was lost in his hands, which has to make people sigh and sigh. Fortunately, there are still people who are willing to understand and renew this tradition.
Intangible cultural heritage should not be the cold words in textbooks and the ** that is frozen, and the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage needs us to take over.
I believe that in the near future, we will continue to see feathered kites soaring in the sky.
