What are the five parts of a kite?

Kite consists of five parts: skeleton, kite face, tail, lifting line and flying line.

Kites originated in China and have a history of more than 2,000 years. According to legend, Mo Zhai made a wooden bird out of wood, which took three years to develop. It is the prototype of the earliest human kite. Later, Luban improved Mo Zhai's kite and became today's multi-line kite.

Later, due to the development of paper industry, people began to paste kites with paper. Nowadays, flying kites in China plays an important role in foreign cultural exchanges and tourism.
