Nantong Yangjiang Kite Hexagonal Flying Piece

Nantong is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, north of the Yangtze River. The ancients called it "the western end of Weinan Hebei Sea". It turned out to be a sandbar, and the back beach is connected with the land, with a large flat beach, which provides good conditions for flying kites. It's a good time to fly kites in Tomb-Sweeping Day on the first lunar month every year. The local proverb says, "Kites are urgent, and rain hits the wall in the Ming Dynasty." "Kites are flying all over the sky, and every family has its own lessons." It can be seen that kite-flying activities have been closely related to the lives of local people.

The most distinctive kite in Nantong is hexagonal badminton, which consists of a rectangle and a six-petal square. There are also seven stars and nine planets which are made up of several kites. This hexagon is several meters high and is equipped with hundreds of mouths and whistles of different sizes. When it is put into the sky, these whistles make different sounds, just like a large band playing in the air. The sound can spread for miles, which is very majestic.
