Kites were invented by working people in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which has been more than 2,000 years since. According to legend, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which took three years to develop, and was the earliest origin of human kites. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve kite materials in Mo Zhai. It was not until Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty that people began to make kites out of paper, which was called "paper kites".

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be a tool for transmitting information. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the development of paper industry, people began to use paper to paste kites. Flying kites became a popular outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty.

There are four legends about the origin of kites. First, the hat and the leaves say; Second, sailing boats and tents; Third, the bird said; Fourth, Ye Li said. But the conclusion that kites originated in China is universally acknowledged.

In BC 190, Chu and Han contended, and Han and Han Xin attacked Weiyang Palace to measure the distance under the tunnel with kites. In the Battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu's army was besieged by Liu Bang's army. Han Xin sent people to make kites out of cowhide and put bamboo flutes on them, and the wind rang (Sean played the flute with a kite). The Han army played flute and sang Chu songs, which dispersed the morale of the Chu army. This is the story of the idiom "Embattled".
