中国风筝有悠久的历史。据说汉朝大将韩信曾利用风筝进行过测量,唐朝的张丕被围困时曾利用风筝传信唤来了救兵,所以古时候的风筝还不仅仅是玩具呢。在美国华盛顿宇航博物馆的大厅里就挂着一只中国风筝,在它边上写着:“人类最早的飞行器是中国的风筝和火箭。”为什么叫风筝呢?有人说是晚唐时,风筝上已有用丝条或竹笛做成的响器,风吹声鸣,因而有了“风筝”的名字。也有人说“风筝”这名字起源于五代,从李邺用纸糊风筝,并在它上面装竹笛开始。说起风筝,不能不提到山东潍坊,那可是风筝之都。在潍坊,有目前世界上最大的风筝博物馆,收藏陈列各国的风筝资料和实物近1000件,难怪说起风筝来,潍坊八中的同学们都是一脸的骄傲。他们说:“就数我们潍坊的风筝最漂亮。”“当春风悄悄地吹过美丽的白浪河,潍坊的天空就变得绚丽多姿了,各种各样五颜六色的‘飞禽走兽’翱翔于天空,真的很美。我们也都拿出了自己最心爱的风筝,和爸爸妈妈,和伙伴们,一起去放风筝。” Chinese kites have a long history. It is said that General Han Han, a Han dynasty general, used kites to make measurements. During the siege of the Tang dynasty, Zhang Qian used kites to send letters to rescue soldiers. Therefore, in ancient times, kites were not just toys. A Chinese kite hangs in the hall of the Washington Space Museum in the United States. Beside it is written: “The earliest human aircraft was Chinese kites and rockets.” Why is it called a kite? Some people say that when it is late Tang, the kite The whistles that have been made of silk or bamboo flute have been blown by the wind and have given the name of “kite.” It was also said that the name “Kite” originated in the Five Dynasties. It began with Li Zhi paste the kite with paper and installed bamboo flute on it. Speaking of kites, we must mention Weifang, Shandong, which is the capital of kites. In Weifang, there are currently the world’s largest kite museum, collecting nearly 1,000 kite materials and objects from various countries. It’s no wonder that talking about kites, the students in Weifang’s Eight Middle Schools are proud of their faces. They said: “The number of kites in Weifang is the most beautiful.” “When the spring breeze quietly blows over the beautiful Bailang River, the sky in Weifang has become beautiful, and a variety of colorful birds and beasts are flying in the sky. It’s really beautiful. We also come up with the kites we love most, and we go kite-flying with moms and dads, and our partners."
