Kites are also called paper kites, in which kites refer to eagles. Both "kite" and "kite" are eagles. In ancient China, kites were generally called "paper kites" in the south and "paper kites" in the north. This is because the earliest shape of kites is made of silk or paper, and when they are released, they really soar in the air like eagles. Hong Kong also has the name "paper kite", which obviously comes from the old saying. Kites have been widely used in espionage since they were invented.

During the "Hou Jing Rebellion" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Gang, Prince of Liang, who was besieged by the rebel Hou Jing in Taicheng, the capital of Jianye (now Nanjing), used a kite to convey information and moved in to help.

About the Tang and Five Dynasties, kites entered the folk and became toys for people's entertainment and games. At the same time, it is also a good physical exercise.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, flying kites in Tomb-Sweeping Day has become a seasonal folk activity. When spring returns to the earth, people fly kites and dream.
