What does Han Xin mean by flying kites?

At first, kites were invented by Mozi, but flying kites was not popular at that time. It didn't spread until Han Xin improved kites, so it made sense for Han Xin to fly kites.

Han Xin and others have greatly improved the structure and materials of kites, but they can be found in many historical materials. Until the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Ye Li put a bamboo flute on the head of a paper kite and made a sound like a kite. The word "kite" has gradually evolved into a general term for paper kites, paper kites and other kites. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with the wide application of papermaking, kites began to spread among the people.

China is the hometown of kites, and Qingzhou is the birthplace of kites in China. Han Feizi's Foreign Reserve says, "Mo Zhai lives in Lushan Mountain, and cypress is a kite. It took three years, but it was defeated in one day. " This is the first kite recorded in historical materials, and it is also the earliest kite recognized by the kite industry at home and abroad. According to research, Lushan is the southwest of Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of Weifang today.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a number of workshops specializing in kite-making appeared in Qingzhou, Beiguan, Dongguan and Nanmenli. These workshops competed with each other, which increased the variety of kites and improved their production level.
