Why is kite a traditional culture?

Three legends about the origin of kites

There are three legends about the origin of kites. First, the hat and the leaves say; Second, sailing boats and tents; Third, said the bird. However, the conclusion that kites originated in China is generally recognized by the kite industry in the world.

Both the hat and the leaves say that the hat is an ancient rain-proof and heatstroke-proof appliance, which was used when people changed from fishing and hunting to farming, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. At that time, the hats were simple to make, and the tethers were all made from local materials, using soft leather fibers. It is said that a farmer was plowing the field when a strong wind suddenly rolled up his hat. The farmer ran after him and grabbed the tether. It happened that the tether was very long and the hat flew in the air like a kite. The farmer thought it was very interesting. He often put hats on the villagers in the future, and later he turned into flying kites. It is said that these leaves come from the south of China. It is said that ancient people worshipped the phenomenon of leaves flying all over the sky, so they tied the leaves with hemp and other things to play, which gradually evolved into a kite-flying activity. Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province province of China and Li nationality in Hainan island made kites from leaves of bread trees earlier.

Sailing boats and tents say that people have used wooden boats for a long time, and they have been used in production as early as 2000 BC. Then the sailboat. Legend has it that there are sails on the boat when you are there. Sailing is a machine with the help of wind power, so people set kites and fly them according to the principle of sailing. It is also said that kites originated from tents in the north. The earliest kites were made by people imitating the phenomenon of strong winds blowing tents in the air, and later gradually evolved into an entertainment activity.

Bird said that from the current historical records and the discovery of ancient kites, its structure, shape, painting technology and so on. A prominent symbol is birds with many shapes. So it is concluded that the first kites were inspired by birds, imitated by birds and named after them. Advocating, loving and imitating birds to make kites is people's pursuit of a better life. It is natural that kites are born of it.

Kite originated in China, which is a recognized conclusion in the world kite industry. The earliest kite in China was made by Mo Zhai, an ancient scientist. According to China's historical material "Han Feizi's theory of hiding outside", in Julushan, Mo Zhai (now Qingzhou, Shandong Province), "the gray tree is an owl, which was formed in three years and lost in one day." Mozi studied for three years, and finally made a wooden bird out of wood, but it broke after only one day's flight. This Muharier made by Mozi is the earliest kite in China.
