Who invented the kite?

Kites were invented by Mo Zhai. Kite: Also known as "paper kite", originally originated in the Eastern Zhou and Spring and Autumn Period in China, with a long history. According to legend, it is a wooden bird made of wood in Mo Zhai, which took three years to develop and became the earliest origin of kites. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve the materials of kites made in Mo Zhai, but it was not until Cai Lun improved the papermaking technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty that people began to make kites out of paper, which was called "paper kites". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites were also used to transmit information when communication was underdeveloped.
