Invented in China in 220 BCE, kites were traditionally made from bamboo frames covered with paper and silk and used to send messages, military signals and measure distances. Over 1000 years later, people began adapting kites for leisure activities and recreation, and traditions such as flying kites to welcome the spring season during Qing Ming Festival began.
