Description:
Kite-flying is an old tradition in China. Its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the Warring States Period (475-221) when Moxi and Lu Ban, According to Historical Records, made a wooden Kite respectively. Famous Kite-makers of the Qin-Han period (221 BC-AD25) included Han Xin and Zhang Liang. Since then, accounts of Kite-flying can be found in many pre-Tang annals such as the History of Southern Dynasties and the New History of Tang; mostly Kites were used for military purposes, either carrying messages or exerting a deterrent effect of the enemy forces.
