Yang learned the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16.After practising the skill for 10 years,she started her own shop in 1992
"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites."Yang said."But I think the cultural background behind our kites is unique."
On Yang's kites, people can see not only common designs like butterflies and birds,but also some prints telling Chinese history.For example.she once made a kite showing a phoenix(凤凰)that was lined with portraits(肖像)of 50 famous women from Chinese history on each side.
Yang said that each woman is different in look,clothes and make-up style.To create their portraits,she made lots of effort to check historical records and talk about details with experts.
"It took me a lot of time,"Yang said,"but when I explain the stories of the kites to foreign people,I feel a great sense of achievement."
In her free time,she travels to different countries including Germany,Australia,the United States and New Zealand to tell people stories of Chinese kites and the traditional ways they are made."It is an important job of mine to spread our heritage(遗产)around the world and onto our children,"she said.
