Kite making has a long history in China, and its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Mozi and Lu Ban made bird-like instruments out of wood, which can fly and are called "wooden kites". In the Han Dynasty, bamboo sticks were tied into a bird-like skeleton and pasted with paper, which was called "paper kite".

Later, bamboo whistle and bowstring were tied to the kite, which was called "kite" because it sounded like a kite because of the wind.

The use of kites has changed many times in history. According to historical records, kites were originally used for military purposes.

By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the society had entered a stage of prosperity and stability, and the function of kites began to shift from military use to entertainment. At the same time, due to the development of the paper industry, the materials used to make kites have changed from silk to paper. Kites are gradually moving towards the people, and the types are also enriched.

In the Song Dynasty, kites spread more widely. At that time, due to the participation of literati, kites developed greatly in binding and decoration. At the same time, due to the social demand for kites, kite making has developed into a special profession.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of kite development in China. Kites in Ming and Qing dynasties have made great progress in size, style, tying technology, decoration and flying skills. At that time, the literati personally painted kites, not only flying them themselves, but also giving them to relatives and friends, thinking that this was an extremely elegant activity.

Kites are divided into hard wings and soft wings. Hard-winged kite skeleton is not detachable and is affected by strong wind; The skeleton of the soft-winged kite can be disassembled and boxed, which is convenient for storage and carrying. When flying, all parts can move freely. For example, the dragon head eye of the "dragon head centipede" kite can rotate, its claws can be extended and contracted, and the bird-shaped kite can spread its wings among the clouds.

Goldfish kites can swim slowly shaking their heads, and so on. In addition to these, there are three-dimensional kites such as palace lanterns and flower baskets.
