The whole world knows that China is the hometown of kites. Kites, also known as paper kites and paper kites, have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that skilled craftsman Lu Ban once "cut bamboo into magpies and let them fly", which should be said to be the predecessor of kites. In the Five Dynasties, Ye Li once put a paper kite on the line as a game for official schools, and creatively installed a bamboo flute on the kite head to make the wind blow into the bamboo flute and make a sound similar to a guzheng, hence the name "kite". In the Song Dynasty, the "Shenhuo Crow" appeared, that is, using kites to load gunpowder and throwing it over enemy camps to achieve military purposes. No wonder Joseph Needham, a famous British scholar, listed kites as one of the major scientific inventions of the Chinese nation. There is also a sign in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, which reads: "The earliest flying machines were kites and rockets from China."

The invention of kites in China had a far-reaching impact on the development of science and technology. Such examples are not uncommon.

1749, an astronomer named Wilson of the University of Glasgow in the United States developed the world's first airborne test instrument. He used six kites to hang astronomical instruments in the air more than 700 meters for scientific experiments, and measured the atmospheric temperature for the first time, and obtained some important theoretical data, which promoted the development of astronomy.

1752, American scientist Franklin hung an iron key with a kite. When it thundered, he sent the kite to the sky and attracted lightning, which proved that lightning is also a discharge phenomenon, so he invented the lightning rod.

1804, Sir george grey of England developed a 5-foot glider with two kites as wings.

1893, Lawrence, an Englishman, designed a detachable kite for the US Weather Service, which brought the instrument to high altitude to measure wind speed, temperature and altitude, and promoted the development of meteorological cause.

1894, British scientists designed a military kite for battlefield observation, which has the same function as today's satellite TV broadcasting.

1899, American Wright brothers made a catamaran kite, observed its tumbling action in the air, and how to change from falling to rising with the help of air buoyancy, thus invented the wing, and on this basis, invented and manufactured the world's first real aircraft driven by internal combustion engine in 1903.

19 1 1 year, Italian scientist Marconi was trying radio communication between Britain, new york and Finland. Unfortunately, he was caught in a storm and blew off his antenna. In an emergency, Marconi tied a wire to the kite and took off, which made the first transatlantic radio transmission test a success.

In addition, Conlivton Suspension Bridge in England is more than 700 feet long and 30 feet wide, which is more than 200 feet higher than the Afeng River it crosses. British bridge architects used giant kites to pull the steel cable to the other side and successfully built a suspension bridge, which was told as a story.

Nowadays, kites are more widely used in scientific experiments and industrial and agricultural production. In the Netherlands, the Marine Rescue Bureau uses kites as rescue tools; Install a wireless control camera on the kite to take aerial photos; Tow a boat with a kite; Send letters by kite; Install a sprinkler on the kite to spray water on the plants on the cliff.

Composition of Kite Festival 1. Kite Festival, a familiar term, used to drag bright kite strings on the vast grassland of Datang Telecom, and it was so pleasant ~ ~ Now I haven't experienced that kind of lightness and happiness for a long time, but I just silently recalled it for a long time, in this sunny kite festival.

The wind is very strong, my heart flies with the wind, as high as a kite, overlooking the children running and flying kites below, experiencing the feeling of the wind's tail crossing my body, being lifted up by the wind and floating into the sky.

Good wind, with its power, sent me to the sky.

I suddenly want to fly ... the past of wishing seems to have happened yesterday.

I don't know if I'm still in the mood to make a wish. Sincerity is spirit.

Without a delicate heart, can your wish come true? After the kite festival, what festival should it be? Actually, I'm not flying kites for the Kite Festival, I just want to find a reason to have a chance to feel the mood, which is a kind of sustenance ... 2. It's another spring, and seeing kites flying all over the sky outside reminds me of my childhood memories, and my heart is full of emotion and warmth.

For my poor peasant's daughter, kite is my childhood playmate and my childhood memory that will never fade.

It turned out to be very thin and soft paper, made into various kites, and supported by the wind, so this weak kite became an elf, floating in the wind, giving people unlimited vitality and vitality. It shows the color of youth with its beauty and flexibility, and lets the world see its birth and existence! This is a kite, which I used to imagine the future when I was a child.

As long as I can remember, I want to have a kite. Other children are playing with it on the grass, and the whole body is jumping with notes happily, like a bird shaking its wings happily. I really envy them. It is so proud and happy to own a kite, as if it owns the whole world, but I don't. I dare not ask my mother for it. Mother's melancholy eyes silently tell the hardships of life. I am determined to make a kite and fly it myself. So I often draw a picture of a bird at home, find some bamboo sticks, bend them into a bird's frame, apply glue on the frame, gently paste the paper with my hardworking hands, hold it down, and soon make a "bird kite", and then tie the spool to the kite and put it in the "sunshine zone", which is so warm and sunny.

Dad let the kite fly, and the beautiful and tenacious kite seems to fly to the boundless sky with stubborn strength because of the excitement of new life. It was a life created by emotions and beliefs, a passionate life full of love and fire, and every happiness became his eternal memory, taking it across the green fields and flying to the brilliant sunset.

Dad gave me his kite, and I got a treasure. I asked my father why the kite I made couldn't fly. Dad smiled and said, "Silly children are kites that can fly to the sky."

This kite has been with me ever since. When I am lonely, I put it in the boundless wilderness and fly to my heart's content. Its soft and tough body, like fireworks lit in the seven-color light of the sun, is beautiful and colorful, so my childhood dream is integrated into the blue sky, white clouds, fireworks and seven-color light.

I am growing up, and there are more and more styles of kites. No one made a kite out of paper, but my father used a kite made of 0 dollars to fly in in my heart forever, and I will always remember kites and what my father said: "Kites will always fly into the sky". Yes, as my father said, I finally understand that even a piece of waste paper will be reborn under the watering of true feelings and the tempering of countless failures.

Kite Festival Composition About the Kite Festival in May 19, when winter went and spring came, I came to a forest casually.

I only saw hundreds of birds chirping in the trees and singing and dancing in the branches.

I looked up and the birds saw me and flew away in an orderly way.

I bowed my head and sighed silently. The whole forest looked so empty and monotonous.

Just then, I found a kite floating from nowhere hanging on the tree. It looks ordinary, but I still want to take it down very much.

The tree was very tall, so I climbed it. Just when I tried to pull off the kite, I accidentally fell down, which really fell short.

I didn't lose heart. Suddenly I remembered a sentence: "You can't do things by halves.

"So I climbed up the tree again, convinced that I could win the kite.

I finally got this kite, patted its dust, and then put it very high, very high ... Unexpectedly, the rope slipped from my hand, and the kite ... I was speechless when I broke up.

It is in a hurry, but its back makes me think so ... when the kite flies away, I can only look up and watch it float away freely; When the rope gripped in my hand was separated from my hand, I could only sigh silently, and my eyes looked vaguely at the kite and the rope flying higher and higher and farther away from me ... Looking up, the kite was gone, tears filled my eyes and I was at a loss.

Looking at the back of the kite, I can only sink into memories.

The kite flew away, dancing in the sky, playing with birds and taking a walk with Xia Yun; Kites are far away, shining in the sunset.

Everything is just in vain.

If I hadn't picked up the lonely kite, I wouldn't have fallen to this point, I wouldn't be so sad, and the kite wouldn't have floated away.

Is it really my fault? In the rosy clouds and evening breeze, there is a flying kite. I can't find it, I can't find its footprint, I can't find its whereabouts. I only know that it once hurried past its small figure in the sunset.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Goodbye, lost kite, and have a nice trip!" " When I leaned against the window, the autumn wind blew the white gauze curtain.

I can still remember the passing of kites in the past. The shadow of kites often flashes in my mind and I can't forget it.

What a hurry! In a blink of an eye, autumn came, but the kite was gone. I can only sigh silently, sigh ... how I look forward to its return! But this is simply a castle in the air, which is completely impossible to achieve.

But I have a firm belief in my heart-I will definitely fly back! A cool autumn wind blew on my face and the leaves were blown away.

I looked at the boundless blue sky and lost in thought.

Fly a kite, where are you? So I lowered my head again, sighing silently, sighing ... Four months ago, winter came, and the earth was white. I stood in the snow and watched the snow fall from the sky, which reminded me of kites again ... I missed the place where I occasionally picked up kites and ran into the forest.

When I came to the Woods and saw the tree, I couldn't help crying.

Suddenly, the lost kite stopped at my feet, and I was secretly pleased. I picked up the kite and smiled calmly.

For example, my hometown is on the coast of the South Yellow Sea, and the sea and sky are connected, just like a huge palm extending to the east.

There is the largest tidal flat in the east, and the Gong Fan levee winds for hundreds of miles, with a unique flavor, which is the best in the world.

On Saturday afternoon, my family came to Yangkou Port. I took off my shoes and went to the beach. I saw several sea pavilions on the endless beach.

We walked to one of them, stood in the pavilion and looked around. In the distance, snow-white waves wave after wave, never stopping, rushing to the beach; A sea breeze roared by, and the waves beat against the rocks on the shore, making a "rushing" sound.

On the vast sea surface, Shanghai seagulls are flying freely, and all kinds of fishing boats are constantly flowing on the sea surface. From time to time, there are fishing songs on the sea.

Introduction to American pen pals The composition of the 35th Weifang Kite Festival Kites originated in China, and the earliest kites were made by the ancient philosopher Mo Zhai. According to "everything is done wrong", in Julushan, Mo Zhai (now Qingzhou, Shandong Province), "cypress is a kite, flying for three years, one day declines. Mozi studied for three years and finally made a wooden bird out of wood. But it broke down after only one day's flight. This "wooden kite" made by Mozi is the earliest kite in China. After the China kite came out, it was quickly used to measure military needs such as transmitting information and crossing obstacles. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the emergence of the paper industry, kites were made of paper paste and quickly spread to the people, becoming an entertainment toy. Kites in the Song Dynasty were popular among the people. With the increase of international communication, kites are widely used in China. The other line enters Arabia and western Europe along the "Silk Road" or the Mongolian campaign route. Kyle Polo, an Italian who held an official position in China in the year of 17, also introduced kites to the west. Weifang, Shandong Province is a famous place of kite production in China, and there were kite-tying artists in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, with the popularity of kite-flying custom, kite art reached its peak. During the Daoguang period, Guo's "Qingming Ci" described: "On the 104th day of the cold food, the trip to Bailang River, the kite was a slut, which was even more chaotic than the first time. "There is a poem in Zheng Banqiao that says," Paper flowers are flying all over the sky, charming girls are swinging from side to side, and flying colorful skirts are swinging with the wind, making butterflies fight for spring. "Wei County Records" also recorded: "Qingming, children. "In the late Qing Dynasty, Weifang had formed a fixed kite market, and businessmen from many parts of the country came to Weifang to buy kites. They once renovated the design to attract customers, and butterflies and kites lined up. " A large number of highly skilled kite artists have emerged. Weifang kites mainly have three basic shapes: string shape, hard wing shape and simple shape, among which the centipede is the most prominent. It is said that it was inspired by the keel waterwheel. Now it has developed into many varieties, from small to large. The big ones are hundreds of meters long and have different shapes and colors. From a simple centipede kite with white paper on its body and red paper on its head without drawing a stroke, to a colorful nine-headed dragon kite painted with gold and silver, everything is available. From the wonderful idea of two dragons playing with beads to the "Y" and zigzag flight of three dragons in the air, it is really ever-changing. There are also various themes. For example, "One Hundred and Eight Generals in Liangshan" is to make Liangshan heroes 108 into different shapes and lifelike, and put them in the sky to form a team, each holding a weapon and flying in the wind. At this time, you may vaguely feel the drums rushing, as if they are about to set out to lay the foundation stone for the Great Song Dynasty ... In April, 1984, Weifang North Beach posted one. The waist diameter is 1.2m, and the kite is 320m long, which is the largest in China at that time. Now Weifang has become a fixed venue for the International Kite Festival. Modern kites are constantly renovated on the basis of inheriting the essence of tradition, winning the reputation of "kite art, Weifang first".

There are many festivals to celebrate Kite Festival in our country. Every festival has its own customs, such as eating zongzi and dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival, setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival, posting Spring Festival couplets and eating jiaozi.

Then I designed a festival that belongs to our children-Kite Festival.

Kite Festival also has its own custom-flying kites.

It's not simply flying a kite, it's a competition, just like the Dragon Boat Festival.

I set the kite festival on May 1 day, because it was cool and breezy at that time, which was suitable for flying kites.

Kite competitions have rules of the game. In the first round of competition, a winner will be selected and enter the area to be determined. A winner was also selected in the second round, and so was the third round. However, in the fourth round, only the winners of the first three rounds participated in the competition, and the champion, runner-up and runner-up were selected to win trophies of different sizes. This is part of the Kite Festival. In the afternoon, we will get together at the champion's home.

If the wind is too strong on the day of the game, the game will be postponed for a few days, but the activity will continue at night and will not change.

If it rains, the game will still be postponed for a few days.

Is the kite festival I designed very creative? If there really is a kite festival, it would be great! Then we can play, compete and share the fun.

Kite Festival belongs to our children, just like Children's Day on June 1st, which brings us joy.

So is the kite festival. Our children play in the morning and revel in the afternoon, which is really a fairy tale festival.
