The Peach Blossom Village of the Cat Boss

Chapter 326
The so-called kite is the name of kite in ancient times. The earliest shape of kite was made of "silk" or "cloth".

Kites were invented in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, more than 2000 years ago.

According to legend, Mo Di made a wooden bird out of wood and developed it for three years. It is the earliest origin of kites for human beings.

Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve the material of Mo Zhai's kites. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Cai Lun improved papermaking, that kites began to be made of paper, which was called "zhi kite".

When kites were first invented, they were often used in military or espionage activities to send information.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites became an excellent tool for delivering messages.

In ancient times, silk cloth and paper were not something that everyone could afford.

At that time, the common people had no access to the recreational activity of kite flying.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the high development of the paper industry, folks began to use paper to make kites.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, kites had become a very popular outdoor activity for common people.

Zhou Mi of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Old Things in the Wulin": "During the Qingming Festival, people go to the suburbs to fly kites, and they return at dusk." "Kite" refers to kites.

There are vivid scenes of kite flying in Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the "Hundred Sons Picture" by Su Hanchen in the Song Dynasty.

Later, kites became a small toy suitable for all ages. Even now, when the weather is good, people will meet up and find an open place to enjoy the fun of flying kites.

If a single kite is flying in the sky, it will not look so good alone, but if a group of kites are flying together, the scene will be spectacular!

Fenghuangling has held kite competitions for many years, so there is naturally an open space that is very suitable for kite flying.

Just beside Fenghuang Ridge, there is a flat grassland.

Surrounded by dense forests, not far away there is a large untouched pristine lake, the scenery is very beautiful.

The most important thing is that the ecological environment of this place is particularly good, and there are many birds.

Even small animals like squirrels and rabbits are very common.

Xi Sisi told Wang Tianyang before that she felt that Fenghuang Ridge could create two major features.

One is the four-year kite festival...and the non-stop kite flying activities on weekdays.

The second is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, so that people have the opportunity to get in touch with these very spiritual animals.

After Wang Tianyang and the others heard this, they thought such an idea was very good.

Paper kites flying all over the sky... the dense primitive forest, and clever and cute animals.

Just listening to these descriptions is especially interesting.

They had never been to Fenghuang Ridge before, and they were full of expectations for Fenghuang Ridge along the way.

Shanshan was even more excited, pestering several adults to ask questions all the way.

For a while, I asked myself how to help later, and for a while, I asked what would happen on the other side of Fenghuang Ridge?Just like a curious baby.

Jianshi County is not too big, and it took a total of one and a half hours for the small tricycle to drive from the county seat to the village near Fenghuangling.

But going from the village to Fenghuang Ridge, the winding path took everyone more than an hour.

When the three rounds finally drove to the agreed place, the empty grassland, everyone couldn't help their eyes light up!
The originally narrow and crowded country roads suddenly became wide open, and the houses in the field of vision disappeared completely, leaving only the vast nature.

It was wild grass, not flat and evenly colored like the grass on TV.

There are small ups and downs on this piece of grass, and there are many small broken flowers that cannot be named in the grass.

Small broken flowers of various colors permeate the entire grassland, dotted with dots of stars, like the Milky Way in the night sky, extremely romantic.

At the end of the meadow, you can see a lake in the distance. The water of the lake reflects the sky blue, with white clouds floating over it.

The sky in the distance is blue and clear, and the beautiful one is a piece of amber.

On the right side of the grassland, there is an endless primeval jungle. As soon as everyone approached, they heard the singing of birds in the jungle, which was very pleasant.

Here is Phoenix Ridge!
Everyone jumped off the tricycle one by one, stepped on the soft grass, and immediately felt extremely comfortable.

Wang Tianyang took a deep breath and opened his arms unconsciously.

This place is far away from human habitation, and there are almost no houses built by humans at a glance, giving people the illusion of being separated from the mundane world.

Perhaps because it is close to the primeval jungle, the air in Fenghuang Ridge smells particularly good. Taking a breath of the aroma of plants filled his chest, Wang Tianyang really tasted a bit sweet.

"The air is so good!"

Lizi sighed and stood aside with various shooting tools on his back.

"Meow."

Mao Daxian nodded, and jumped from Wang Tianyang's shoulder to the grass, with an expression of approval on his face.

On the large grassland directly in front of him, Wang Tianyang saw a familiar figure, it was Xi Sisi.

She was accompanying a few people with traditional crafts, and the leaders above were wandering around and talking all the way.

"Yes, that's right...it's the day after tomorrow. It's already been arranged."

"The director is like this. The venue here is huge, and we plan to hold a kite competition! This kite competition will be much grander than before!"

"We don't stick to our own people to participate in the competition. We will invite tourists to make their own kites, and let everyone judge after they are done. Comprehensively score the kites according to the beauty, quality and other aspects of the kites, and then divide them according to different scoring standards. First prize, second prize, third prize, each grade will give different rewards."

"Also... Our most important type of kites this time can't be those inferior kites on the market, we have to make the most exquisite paper kites!"

Si Sisi spoke while walking, with an impassioned tone.

Everyone nearby was listening, nodding from time to time.

"Those cheap kites on the market are colorful and look very cheap. Even if they fly together in the sky, they won't look good!"

"Director, you have seen Teacher Su's paper kite before. Just imagine how amazing it would be if we let a large group of paper kites fly together."

"In this way, we can not only promote our Chinese traditional culture, let everyone experience the process of making experience in person, but also make exquisite videos and export culture on the Internet... With the influence of the cat boss... when the time comes, It is very likely that we will be able to directly hit our Fenghuang Ridge! It will attract a huge flow of people."

The chubby director couldn't help nodding when he heard this:

"Well, it's not bad. I've seen Lao Su's craftsmanship... The paper kites he made are so beautiful."

"If it's possible to make thousands of paper kites go up to the sky, I think the effect will be very good."
