Making Kites
Because flying kites is beneficial to one’s health, it is gaining popularity in many countries. The Chinese regard it as a game as well as a sport. Some people hang kites on the wall for decoration. Chinese kites are now available for sale in Japan, Southeast Asia and many countries in Europe and America.
Since then, the popular Chinese name for the kite had become fengzheng (wind zheng). It was onece used for military purposes as well as for delivering messages.
Kite, also called zhiyuan or yaozi(paper kite in the shape of an eagle, swallow, etc.) in ancient China, was invented by the Chinese people. It is said that lu ban, a well-known ingenious carpenter, made a bamboo magpie that could fly. During the Five Dynasty Period (907-960), a man named Li Ye invented a paper kite in the shape of an eagle and flew it in the sky. Later on, people began to fix on kites some strings, which, when high in the air, would vibrate and ring in the breeze like a guzheng (a stringed instrument).
