Yangjiang people have always had the traditional custom of flying kites on the Double Ninth Festival. Kite making has a long history. Folk songs have long described "the Double Ninth Festival in September tests the kites' heights". In the bamboo poems of the Qing Dynasty, there is a grand description of "the shadows of paper kites are intertwined". Yangjiang is located on the southwest coast of Guangdong. There are frequent typhoons in summer and strong northeast winds in winter. The Double Ninth Festival in autumn is a good time to fly kites. Every household starts making kites before the festival. On the same day, the whole city is often out, and the streets are deserted. In front of and behind houses, in the fields and in the wilderness, kites of various shapes and colors are released with the wind, which is spectacular. Yangjiang kites are made with great care, with various shapes and varieties, including bobbin kites, soft board and hard board kites, soft wing and hard wing kites, straight string and tree string kites and many other types. The kites are painted with stories of characters such as the Seven Fairies and Chang'e flying to the moon, as well as flowers and fruits such as pomegranates, peonies, double peaches, and lotus flowers, and birds, beasts, fish, and insects such as dragons, tigers, eagles, centipedes, butterflies, dragonflies, white pomfret, and sharks. The most representative kites are the three shapes of Ganoderma lucidum, centipedes, and cliff eagles. The Ganoderma lucidum board kite is based on the legend of White Snake stealing the immortal Ganoderma lucidum. Its structure is composed of a white cloud with pictures of stealing immortal grass and Jinshan Temple on the top, a large Ganoderma lucidum in the middle, and a plum blossom deer holding Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth below. When it is released, it gallops and leaps into the sky. The rattan bow on the top of the kite also makes a "woof woof" sound in the wind, sometimes low, sometimes sharp, and sometimes melodious, just like the music of nature. It was once rated as one of the "Ten Wonders" of kites in the world; the centipede kite is the longest, reaching 208 meters, and the height is 15 meters. After flying into the air, it can stretch forward and retract, wrap around left and right, shake its head and tail, roll up and down, and perform stunts such as "dragon spitting pearls", "playing with firecrackers", and "dragon head spitting fire". It is known as the "Yangjiang living dragon"; the cliff eagle kite is made to imitate the image of an eagle. After flying, it is sharp and fast, and it has the momentum to fight against the sky. The most distinctive feature is the flying of a group of eagles. Many little eagles can be branched out on one line, up to dozens or even hundreds of them. They can be strung together in a straight line or in a tree line. When in the air, the eagles soar, fly up and down, circle left and right, and attract real eagles to chase from time to time, making the fake look real. The craftsmanship of Yangjiang kite making includes four aspects: tying the frame, mounting and masking, painting and beautifying, and debugging and flying. In the process of making, the kite is good at using bamboo strips of appropriate hardness and softness according to the size of the kite and the different requirements of the wind. The proportion of each part is finely distributed, and special attention is paid to the layout of the force lines and adjustment lines to adapt to the wind force and wind direction changes of different sizes to obtain the best flying effect. The air and wind dynamics principles contained in it have been tested and studied by relevant units using high-tech means, but the mystery has not been cracked so far. More than ten years ago, Yangjiang City was named "National Kite Hometown" by relevant national departments, but due to the complex craftsmanship and strict requirements of handmade kites, young people nowadays have little patience to learn, and the prevalence of kites produced by modern equipment with simple materials and low costs has severely impacted the inheritance and development of Yangjiang kite traditional making skills, which urgently needs to be supported and protected.
