同學(xué)們喜歡放風(fēng)箏嗎？大家是否知道風(fēng)箏名字的由來(lái)以及中國(guó)哪些地方的風(fēng)箏最有名？讓我們一起來(lái)了解一下吧！

Kite-flying is one of the most popular traditional（傳統(tǒng)的） sports in China. In warm spring，kites of many colors fly up and down in the sky and the kite strings（線） give out a sound in the wind，like the “Zheng”，a traditional Chinese musical instrument（樂(lè)器）. Thats why their Chinese name is Feng-Zheng.

Traditionally，Beijing，Tianjin and Weifang（濰坊） in Shandong Province（山東省） have been well known（出名的） for their kites. The Beijing kites are made in an imperial（皇家的） style（風(fēng)格），the Tianjin kites are small and exquisite（精致的），and the kites of Weifang painted in rich（豐富的） colors. The Weifang International（國(guó)際的） Kite Festival takes place（舉行） in April each year.

Kites were used to drive off（驅(qū)除） bad luck（運(yùn)氣）. Now kite-flying has become a popular activity（活動(dòng)） in China. It is great fun to fly a kite on a windy day.
