Information expansion:

Kites were invented by ancient Chinese laborers in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. Legend has it that Mo Zhai made a wooden bird out of 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 have not only created beautiful words and paintings that condense the wisdom of the Chinese nation, but also created many patterns that reflect people's aspirations and pursuit of a better life and have auspicious meanings.
