Beijing\u2019s English-language heritage guide calls the form zhayan (\u624e\u71d5, z\u0101y\u00e0n). A light frame supports a painted skin, and the shape can suggest anything from a single broad swallow to a matched pair. <sup>[1][2][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shape:<\/strong> The bird outline is stylized into several named forms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials:<\/strong> Makers use bamboo ribs and a light covering for the painted surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice:<\/strong> Framing, pasting, painting and flying are known as the four arts. <sup>[2][3][7]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The swallow outline identifies the family of forms. Butterflies, fish or flowers can be painted within it. <sup>[4][5][6]<\/sup> <\/p><\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Beijing-sand-swallow-kite-framing-pasting-painting-and-flying-infographic.webp\" alt=\"Beijing sand swallow kite framing pasting painting and flying infographic\" title=\"Beijing sand swallow kite framing pasting painting and flying infographic\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>The bamboo frame sets the silhouette, and the paper carries a painted design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">A sand swallow can read as a bird at a distance and as a painted picture up close. Those two effects come from different parts of the same object, the shape set by the frame and the motifs carried on its surface.<\/p>\n<h2>How Bamboo and Paper Form the Swallow<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Makers tie together light bamboo ribs to establish the silhouette. The framework sets the proportions of the body, wings and tail. A light paper covering, described as silk paper in Beijing\u2019s heritage guide, stretches across it and gives the painter a surface. The stretched skin makes the outline visible. It also gives the artist the broad wings and body in which to arrange motifs. <sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In this tradition, flying belongs to the craft alongside making and painting the kite. The flying line attaches through a bridle. Placement matters to how the kite lifts and sits in the air, so flying gives the maker a way to judge the frame and balance together. The broader tradition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-kites\/\">Chinese kites<\/a> includes other regional ways of solving the same problems. <sup>[2][4][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Six Shapes in the Zhayan Family<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Beijing\u2019s heritage guide describes six forms with proportions associated with people of different ages or roles. These are conventions within this craft. The painted wishes and stories can vary from one example to the next. <sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:800px\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Named form<\/th><th>Traditional association<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Broad swallow (\u80a5\u71d5, f\u00e9iy\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Adult man<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Slender swallow (\u7626\u71d5, sh\u00f2uy\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Adult woman<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Paired swallows (\u6bd4\u7ffc\u71d5, b\u01d0y\u00ecy\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Married couple<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Half-slender swallow (\u534a\u7626\u71d5, b\u00e0nsh\u00f2uy\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Young adult<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Small swallow (\u5c0f\u71d5, xi\u01ceoy\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Older child or adolescent<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Fledgling (\u96cf\u71d5, ch\u00fay\u00e0n)<\/td><td>Young child<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Painted Motifs Add to the Shape<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The museums\u2019 catalogs offer examples of the difference between shape and motif. The China National Arts and Crafts Museum catalogs a broad-swallow design with butterflies seeking flowers. The National Art Museum of China lists a Five Fish Swallow by Ha Kuiming. In each title the swallow identifies the form, while butterflies or fish identify what the painter put on its surface. The national art museum dates Ha Kuiming\u2019s kite to the 1980s and lists it at 97 by 89 centimeters. The same catalog records broad and slender forms by Ha Yiqi, each 40 by 35 centimeters. The distinction between those two forms is one of proportions and design, rather than the dimensions entered in the catalog. <sup>[5][6]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Makers in the Ha tradition also use motifs such as bats, butterflies, peonies and fish. These can express auspicious wishes. The swallow has its own seasonal association in Beijing, where the return of the birds suggests spring. The outline and its painted motifs can therefore carry different ideas at the same time. <sup>[3][4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>How Beijing Makers Pass On the Craft<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The national heritage record identifies Fei Baoling (\u8d39\u4fdd\u9f84, F\u00e8i B\u01ceol\u00edng) as a representative practitioner of Beijing swallow kite making. The municipal guide records that Yang Liping (\u6768\u5229\u5e73, Y\u00e1ng L\u00ecp\u00edng) began learning from him in 1996. This is a documented case of skills passed directly from one maker to the next. <sup>[1][2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Beijing has more than one kite lineage. Haidian\u2019s heritage inventory separately documents the Ha family\u2019s kite making and the Cao tradition. The Ha entry identifies a large sand swallow as a locally distinctive form and records that the family made miniature examples that could also fly. The shared swallow shape can be traced through these distinct workshops. It is one example of how designs travel within Beijing\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-traditional-crafts\/\">traditional crafts<\/a>. <sup>[4][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About Beijing Sand Swallow Kites<\/h2>\n<h3>Why is the kite called a sand swallow?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shayan, or shayanr in colloquial Beijing usage, is a local name for the stylized swallow kite called zhayan. The spring associations come from the return of swallows. <sup>[2][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>What are the four arts of Beijing kite making?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">They are framing, pasting the covering, painting and flying. The last checks the object as a kite after the frame and painted skin have been made. <sup>[2][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>Are small Beijing kites made only for display?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some are flyable. Haidian\u2019s heritage entry records miniature Ha kites that can be flown as well as given or displayed. That description applies to those examples. <sup>[7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">[1] China Intangible Cultural Heritage Digital Museum. <a
