Expanded information:

Kites were invented by ancient Chinese laborers during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. According to legend, Mo Zhai made a wooden bird from wood and developed it for three years, which is the earliest origin of kites for human beings. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve the material of Mo Zhai's kite, and it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that Cai Lun improved the art of papermaking that kites began to be made of paper, called "paper kites".

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be used as a tool for conveying messages; from the Sui and Tang dynasties, due to the development of the paper industry, people began to use paper to frame kites; and during the Song dynasty, kite-flying became a favorite outdoor activity.

Chinese kites have a history of more than two thousand years. Shadows of auspicious symbols and lucky patterns can be seen everywhere from traditional Chinese kites. Over the long years, our ancestors not only created beautiful words and paintings that condensed the wisdom of the Chinese nation, but also created many patterns that reflected people's aspirations and pursuit of a better life with auspicious symbols.
