Known as the birthplace of kites, Weifang in Shandong Province has a long history of making kites, which can date back to 2 000 years ago. At first, they were often used for measuring（测量）distances and communicating. During the Ming dynasty（1368 - 1644）, kites started to be popular among ordinary（普通的）people as entertainment（娱乐）. In 2006, the Weifang kite - making was included in the national - level intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）lists.
Yang Hongwei, 56, was born into a kite - making family. Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop. “Every time I see these beautiful kites, my sadness and down feelings go away,” said Yang. Yang started to learn the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the skill for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
On Yang's kites, people can see not only common styles like butterflies and swallows, but also some styles telling traditional Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite with paintings of 50 famous women in Chinese history. Though the idea was cool, the process（过程）was not easy. Yang said that each woman had different appearance, clothing and the makeup styles. To make the kite, she spent much effort and time checking historical records or discussing the details with experts.

In her spare time, she also travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the USA and New Zealand to show her kites and the traditional ways of making kites. “I'm an inheritor of the culture. It's also one of my important jobs to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation（一代人）,” she said.
