The production of octopus kites is relatively complicated

As a representative style of octopus kites in Qingdao, its production process is very complicated. This 70-meter length requires at least thousands of roots. The 10-meter-wide head alone requires a huge number of fixed sticking points for root materials and clips, not to mention the time it takes to draw and stick silk materials. During the release process, several people need to work together to lift the octopus from its legs to its head, and then slowly put it into the air to take off.
