Kite Song of Spring | Peking Scienjoy's "Lost and Found" plan explores the kite culture through live broadcasts.

The kite, also known as a paper kite, is one of China's traditional handicrafts, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. It is not only a children's toy, but also an artistic form, bearing people's yearning and wishes for a better life. As early as the Qing Dynasty, a poet described such a scene: "Children leave school early and take advantage of the east wind to fly kites."

On April 24, Scienjoy visited San Shizhai in Peking. San Shizhai's kite heritage has a history of over a hundred years and is an important representative school of kites in Peking. What catches the eye at San Shizhai is the various kites of all sizes hanging on the walls. There are sharp-eyed, majestic eagles; mighty and domineering phoenixes; and various swallows of different shapes, all kinds of kites are visible. The owner of San Shizhai, Mr. Liu Bin, as a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage projects "Cao's Kite" and "Liu's Kite", learned the kite making skills from his grandfather, Liu Hui Ren, and later visited famous teachers, obtained the authentic skills of Cao's Kite, and combined Cao's Kite's temple, palace, and folk styles to form his own kite making style.

During the live broadcast, Mr. Liu introduced that he combines modern computer fine arts and digital technology, integrates elements of various art categories into kite design, enhances the artistic value of kites, and transforms the nature of kites from the "toy" of the old society to an "artwork" with the characteristics of the times. This not only increases the ornamental value of kites, but also enriches the cultural connotation of kites. Mr. Liu said, "I have been learning how to make kites since I was very young, such as trimming bamboo, shaping, pasting paper, and painting. Every seemingly simple work actually requires a lot of careful thought."

Traditional kite making often relies on the inheritance of skills passed down through generations, but as time passes, these channels of skill inheritance are gradually diminishing. Through live streaming, inheritors can showcase their production process in real time, share production techniques and experiences with the audience. This not only attracts more young people's interest in kite making, but also injects new vitality into traditional crafts. By live streaming the process of kite making in real time and sharing techniques and experiences, more people are attracted to participate in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. Some netizens exclaimed, "The kite craftsmanship is beyond my imagination, it's so beautiful!"

In this beautiful season, Scienjoy empowers intangible cultural heritage, inherits the cultural charm of thousands of years, and adds a gorgeous touch to the beauty of spring through its Lehi Live, Haixiu Live, and key influencer live streaming platforms. Through the live broadcast, we have seen the charm of the intangible cultural heritage of kites, and also witnessed the efforts made by Scienjoy in practicing the inheritance and promotion of intangible cultural heritage.
