Kite introduction:

Kite was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which has been more than 2,000 years. 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, called paper kites.

Kites are made of paste, paper cutters, bamboo sticks, yarn strips, horse-drawn paper, thread and other items. Flying kites became a tool to transmit information in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but in the Song Dynasty, flying kites became a favorite outdoor activity, which spread to Europe in A.D. 1600. After the invention of paper in the Han Dynasty, kites were made of paper paste and called paper kites. In the Five Dynasties, Ye Li improved it and put the bamboo flute on the head of the kite. The breeze is like a Zheng, so the first appearance of kites can't be separated from the military.
