1、Besides the topic design in s ShaYan kite, many minor patterns may aslo in it as decorations,which beautify the topic design of a kite as well as express peoples hopes and whishes.For example,there are succive patterns on the chest,stomach and at the end of a ShaYan kite .These successive pattern ,s
2、uch as circle lines and cloud-built lines. After being drawn several lines then painted various colors,the design of ShaYan kite(Swallow-shaped Kite)appears to be compact and fair. Therere several kinds of kites with some patterns emboided on the SandMartin in Jingjin area(Jingjin refers to Beijing
3、and Tianjin ). Most of these patterns come from Chinese traditional auspicious motifs. The following are some examples.

4、lack pot(another saying of fat swallow in this kind of fly).

6、ich comes into a symmetrical coordinaion.At the same time, kite handicraftsmen come up with new ideas continuosly. They decorate new patterns on ShaYan kite. Sometimes ,they add bats hanging longevity peach in their mouths. Because in Chinese words,“福”(means good luck)and “蝠”(means bat) are homophon
7、es,so kite with bats on it sybolizes blessing and longevity. Sometimes,there are peaches and oney on the side of bats. In ancient times, money in Chinese was written as“泉”rather than todays “钱”,but they are homophones at that time, so this kind of ShaYan kite is called fushoushuangquan(means to enjo

Later,craftsmen further developed these symbolistic patterns, like jiqingyouyu (with adequate luck and living)kitemwhich is drawn with two chicken and two fish on the ShaYan kite design. “鸡”(chicken) and “吉”(means auspicious)are homophones,“鱼”(means fish)and “余”(mean
9、s adequate) are homophones. So they chose chicken and fish to express delicious wishes that everything goes well and there are adequate food for living. When craftsmen make it, the fish lies on leg part of the kite with head and taid hold up in the air. Being in this position, the fish echos wonderf
10、ully to the chicken on the swing part of the kite. The patterns on the kite are full of liveness and joyousness for the black ground make the fish and chicken obvious.The patterns on black pot kite simply have two kinds of color:black and white,forming fierce contrast under the blue sky. So it stand

Go
12、d of longevity ,in other words, Canopus(Old Man Star) or Antarctic Senior. In the book ShiJi Historial Records,it says that the God of longevity is exactly the Antarctic Senior. Once he is seen,the country weill in order and well peace,so people buile temples for him to pray for blessing and longevi
13、ty. Antarctic Senior is regarded as the god who take charge of peoples longevity, thus,drawn as the appearance of senior man with white beard,a crutch in hand and a long head whose forhead bulges. It has a wide spread among the people, however,it has different stories. Ancient people hoped for longe
14、vity and come into existence the Senior man for longevity and good fortune refers to Laozi. In another version,he refers to Pengzu,a person who was fabricated in Ancient China.The story of Laozi can learned in神仙传of Jin dynasty.

Later, suffering war,he wandered in the western territories for over 100years.
19、Accoring to legend, he lived to be 800years old. So people took him as the smbolization of longevity.Although is manfacture is relatively easy,it carries careful colored pattern which in general drawn by gongbi(traditional Chiense realistic painting). For Old Man Star generally has one image of patt
20、ern so it has a single procecdure of painting. The two crossing sticks used for the body part up and down need to be hard in the middle, soft at the end that is made for wings. The degree of curvature of the two wings should consistent. Its better if the two crossing sticks come from one bamboo. Fir
21、st,put up the spine (the up-and-down or vertical stick tha you build your kite around );second ,tie the spar(the support sticks that are placed crossways or at a slant over the spine. Sometimes theyre curved or vowed)on the spine to form a frame(that form the shape of the kite and make a support of

24、Golden Tray kite.The story of Sun Wukong comes from Journey to the West. When craftmen made this kind of kites,they drawn Sun Wukong as a brave monkey. He disturbed the Yonggungsa(龙宫) and made the afterworld in disorder. An interesting thing is that he forced Yama to take out the live-and-death list
25、,on which he crossed out all the names of his kind. Later,the Jade Emperor knew it, in order to take control of him,the Jade Emperor sent Great White Planet to him to svarga by tricking him that he would be titled Bimawen(a position charging of horse in svarga). When he knew the trick,he left. Insta
