华盛顿风筝节2008-03-31

"Kites were first introduced by the Chinese over 2,000 years ago, and kites have continued to play an important role in China ever since. The Chinese first used their kites in military affairs, but their influence gradually spread to other western countries to become a familiar artistic and cultural icon.

This year, colorful, traditional Chinese kites will fly over the Washington Monument grounds, and we challenge you to create your own Chinese-inspired kite for our annual kitemaking competition. Special elements of this year’s festival include demonstration booths, displays of Chinese kite art, and a tremendous special opening ceremony."
From Washington Post

今年风筝节的主题还是中国风筝。 可见中国古老的文明和精美的艺术在世界各地影响之深。
