Song of the Paper Yuan Song of Spring Light live broadcast conveys ingenuity | The Infinite “Heritage Collection” program explores kite culture

A kite, also known as a paper kite, is one of the traditional Chinese handicrafts. It has a long history and deep cultural heritage. It is not only a children's toy, but also an artistic expression, carrying people's yearnings and prayers for a better life. As early as the Qing dynasty, a poet described this scene: “Children return early from school and are busy releasing paper kites while taking advantage of the east wind.”

On April 24, Enjoy Infinity came to Beijing Sanshizhai. The Sanshizhai kite has a history of hundreds of years and is an important representative genre of Beijing kite. What caught my eye when I came to Mitsukusai was a variety of kites, large and small, hanging all over the wall. There are sharp-eyed and imposing eagles; there are powerful phoenixes, and swallows of various shapes. Kites of various shapes can be seen. Liu Bin, the owner of Mitsuishizai, is the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage projects “Cao's Kite” and “Liu's Kite”. He followed his grandfather Liu Huiren's “Tail Liu” to learn his family's kite making techniques. Later, he visited famous teachers, got the true story of Cao's kite, and combined the temple, Miyamoto, and folk books of Cao's kite to form his own style of kite making.

In the live broadcast, Mr. Liu explained that he combined modern computer art with digital information technology to incorporate elements from various Chinese art categories into kite design, enhance the artistic value of kites, and change the nature of kites from “toys” of the old society to “works of art” characteristic of the times, not only increasing the viewability of kites, but also enriching the cultural connotation of kites. Teacher Liu said, “I've been learning how to make kites, cut bamboo, shape, paste paper, and paint since I was very young. Every job seems simple, and actually requires a lot of thought if I want to do it well.”

Traditional kite making often relies on the transmission of techniques handed down by word of mouth, but the channels for passing on these techniques gradually dwindle over time. Through live streaming, inheritors can show their production process to the audience in real time and share production techniques and experiences. This has not only attracted the interest of more young people in making paper irises, but has also injected new vitality into traditional crafts. Through live broadcasts, the kite production process is shown in real time, production techniques and experiences are shared, and more people are attracted to and participate in the inheritance of intangible heritage traditions. Some netizens were amazed. The kite craft was so beautiful that it was very different from what I had imagined.

In this beautiful spring season, Infinite Entertainment empowers intangible heritage culture, inherits the charm of thousands of years of culture, and adds a touch of magnificence to the beauty of spring light through its Lehi Live Stream, Hi Show Live Stream, and Celebrity Live Stream. Through the live broadcast, we saw the appeal of kites as an intangible heritage culture, as well as the efforts made by Sixiang Infinite to carry out the inheritance and promotion of intangible heritage culture.
