The kite was invented by the working people in ancient China in the spring and Autumn period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It has been more than 2000 years.

 It is said that mozhai made wooden birds from wood and developed them for three years. It is the earliest origin of kites. Later, Luban used bamboo to improve the material of Mozi's kites. 

It was not until Cai Lun improved his papermaking skills during the Eastern Han Dynasty that people began to use paper to make kites, known as "paper kites".
