The Peach Blossom Village of the Cat Boss

Chapter 328 Kite Kite
Kite Kite, Wang Tianyang has called this term for so long, but this is the first time he knows that kite is inseparable from the traditional Chinese musical instrument Guzheng.

"How to say?"

Everyone looked like they were being educated, and they concentrated on asking questions.

Seeing that everyone is so interested in the knowledge of kites, Mr. Su Mingsheng is very pleased:
"Okay, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you in detail."

"It is recorded in "Xunchulu Kite": Li Ye of the Five Dynasties made paper kites in the palace, and played with the wind with strings. Later, at the head of the kite, bamboo was used as a flute, and the wind entered the bamboo, like a kite, so it was named kite."

"The above record means that during the Five Dynasties period, Li Ye, the governor of Haozhou, flew paper kites in the palace, and put a bamboo whistle on the head of the kite. After the kite was lifted into the air, the bamboo whistle was blown by the wind and made a sound like a kite. Therefore, paper kites are also called kites!"

"In fact, none of the kites that are circulating on the market can be called real kites. Real kites can play beautiful music when they fly into the sky. The melody... plays ethereal music in the sky. The more skillful the kite maker is, the more beautiful the music the kite can play."

After Su Mingsheng finished speaking with a sigh, everyone showed incredible expressions.

Wu Qian opened her mouth wide in shock:

"My God!"

It feels like all these years of reading have been wasted!
Compared with Wang Tianyang, other people are not much better. Su Mingsheng's words completely broke his inherent understanding of kites.

Imagining the scene depicted by Mr. Su Mingsheng, Wang Tianyang suddenly became very excited.

He once heard some legends about ancient craftsmen...

Mozi's wooden kite that can carry people into the sky, Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse...all are technologies that modern people can't imagine.

It's a pity that these legendary technologies have been lost one by one in the passage of time.

The wisdom of the ancients is amazing!

Can a real kite play music?
The kite is actually a musical instrument. This unheard-of anecdote made Wang Tianyang amazed.

Master Su Mingsheng actually made a kite that can play music?
Thinking of this, Wang Tianyang immediately respected this traditional veteran craftsman even more.

"Master Su Mingsheng, what do you mean... the secret weapon you speak of is a real kite?"

On the other side, Uncle Shan's heart moved and he asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"That's right!"

Su Mingsheng raised his head slightly, stroked the non-existent goatee, and was resolute.

"...The real kite has been passed down from word to mouth in my family, but because of the lack of production skills, I have not been able to make a perfect kite."

"Since my grandfather's generation... our family has been working hard on how to make a real kite."

"My grandfather, my father... and then me. Until some time ago, based on the experience of the predecessors, I finally restored the kite that was estimated to be depicted."

Next, Su Mingsheng took out his mobile phone and showed everyone his treasures.

Everyone was amazed and full of praise.

According to Su Mingsheng, his kite is as big as two people, and he used high-quality bamboo as the support, and made ingenious hollowing out in some places.

In order for the kite to fly high into the sky and be blown by the wind, the wonderful craftsmanship will make the kite sing with the wind and play music.

The silk cloth used to make the kites is also high-quality fabric. Master Su Mingsheng invited a master of Chinese painting whom he has known for many years to color the kites.

The huge kite is made into the appearance of the ancient phoenix, the king of birds. When the kite floats into the sky with the wind, its beautiful tail feathers will sway with the wind, like a flying rainbow.

At the same time, when the wind passes through the kite bracket, the music played by the bamboo will be like birdsong running through the sky.

Even the sound of bamboo playing, they all refer to the phoenix's song described in ancient books, which is extremely loud and full of momentum.

"I named this kite Fengao Jiutian! I have been looking for an opportunity to make it public and appear in front of everyone."

"When Mr. Xi came to me and invited me to participate in the kite competition, and said that Director Wang would make a promotional video for us..."

Su Mingsheng suddenly looked at Wang Tianyang, with a hint of excitement and gratitude in his eyes:
"I know, the time has come!"

"My grandfather, my father... three generations of us have spent so much time and energy..."

Su Mingsheng paused slightly, his tone choked with sobs:

"Finally, we can finally prove to my family and the world that we are not crazy! Our efforts are not in vain... The records in ancient books are not nonsense."

In fact, I told Wang Tianyang that after so many years, Mr. Su Mingsheng has actually received a lot of doubts.

Including his family, as well as the outside world.

Many people think that the so-called real kites are all their wishful thinking and whimsical fantasies.

Su Mingsheng himself doubted himself very much. After all, the three generations of his family spent three lifetimes and failed to make a real kite.

They are stuck at an important joint and cannot break through for a long time!
It's been so long that Su Mingsheng couldn't help but start to wonder if the records in the ancient books are just fantasies?

But grandpa and father spent their whole life's efforts in it, and he really couldn't bear to let the two ancestors' efforts go to waste.

So I still resolutely put my whole life time and energy into the real kite.

Being questioned for a lifetime, Su Mingsheng was naturally depressed for the rest of his life.

But some time ago, things suddenly turned around.

Since Su Mingsheng moved to Jianshi County, many people would come to his kite shop to check in every day, and would ask him about kites by the way.

Among the tourists, there are not a few rich people.

Occasionally, there will be three or two people who especially like the exquisite paper kites, so they will spend money to buy them.

Compared with his previous life, Su Mingzhi is now quite proud of himself, like a fish in water.

He is in a better mood, and he is more energetic.

And for some reason, he always felt that the feng shui and air in Jianshi County were exceptionally different and refreshing.

The old problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath disappeared completely after moving to Jianshi County.

In this state, suddenly one day... When Su Mingsheng was playing with paper kites in the room, he felt blessed!Inexplicably solved the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

Everything that followed was flowing like clouds and flowing water...

Su Mingsheng quickly made a secret, the common pursuit of the three generations of his family:

Real kites!
The other veteran craftsmen beside him sighed when they heard the words, and silently patted Su Mingsheng on the shoulder as a comfort.

The experience of these old craftsmen who have always persisted is very similar to that of Su Mingsheng.

Naturally, they could understand Su Mingsheng's sadness, as well as his excitement and joy now.

"Master Su Mingsheng, don't worry... We will definitely shoot the video of the kite competition well.!
