Before flying a kite, you need to know the direction and speed of the wind. If there are flags or smoke from a fire nearby, you can determine its direction by observing how it floats. Otherwise, pick up dry grass or small pieces of paper and throw them into the air, which can also help you find the correct direction of the wind.

When the wind is sufficient, you can fly a kite without needing help—use your own kite string, run forward against the wind while watching the kite’s condition, and stop when the wind becomes strong enough for the kite to rise; then slowly release the string.

When the wind weakens, quickly retract the string to provide artificial wind assistance; if you feel tension in the kite string, seize the opportunity to release it; if the kite begins to fall, it may be necessary to quickly retract some of the string until the kite can hold its position in the sky without falling.

It’s best to have an assistant when flying a kite. Extend the kite string to about 10 meters, face against the wind, and use your thumbs and index fingers to gently hold the frame behind the kite (it’s easier to release). Once the wind starts blowing, gently pull the kite away from the assistant’s hand (no need to ask them to let go). Run while releasing the string until the kite rises to a sufficient height, then gently shake it back and forth to stabilize it.

Many casters usually ask their assistants to let go, but the assistant still holds the kite or throws it upward; sometimes thecaster runs forward regardless of direction, and these are all incorrect casting methods.

If several kites are released at once, the connection method between the kites and the strings must be considered.

If the kite is flying steadily, it can be tied to a tree trunk or object so that it floats freely. However, when the wind direction and strength are unstable, it must be manipulated immediately. When the wind suddenly strengthens and the kite sways excessively, there is a risk of it tipping over and falling. There are two ways to control this: either release the string quickly, or run a few steps forward in the direction of the kite to ease its tilt. Sometimes, if the wind stops, the kite may fall downward; in such cases, gently shake it or run backward quickly. If there is no way to move back, the string can be quickly tightened.

When two kite strings get entangled, the caster should not panic. Instead, quickly approach the entangled strands and exchange them to adjust them, allowing the strings to separate.

Tips for flying a kite:

1. Do not place it near high-voltage transmission towers or utility poles.

2. Be aware of climate changes; in case of typhoons or lightning strikes, immediately stop the deployment and stay away from open areas.

3. Choose kites that are suitable and compatible with the wind speed; do not underestimate the power of strong winds.

4. The caster should choose an open area, such as a park or beach, to avoid obstacles.

Kites were invented by the Chinese. It is said that Mo Di made a wooden bird out of wood and spent three years on its development. This is the earliest origin of kites in human history. Later, his student Lu Ban used bamboo to improve the material of Mo Di's kites, leading to the evolution into today's multi-line kites.

Kites originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and have been around for over 2000 years. It is said that "Mozi made a wooden kite; it took three years to complete, but it crashed after flying for one day." During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be used as tools for transmitting information. This trend started from the Sui and Tang dynasties. With the development of papermaking, people started using paper to wrap kites. By the Song Dynasty, flying kites became a popular outdoor activity. Zhou Mi of the Song period wrote in "Old Stories of Wulin": "During the Qingming Festival, people go to the countryside to fly kites, returning only at dusk." Here, "kite" refers to a kite. The "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zetian of the Northern Song dynasty, and "The Hundred Children Picture" by Su Hanchen of the Song dynasty both depict vivid scenes of flying kites.

Today, kite flying activities in our country play an important role in foreign cultural exchange, strengthening friendship with people around the world, and promoting economic and tourism development.
