Kite History
The kite is something children all over the world play with. But how, and
where, was the kite invented? And was it always a toy?
The generally accepted wisdom is that the kite was invented in China. However
it is also known that people in the South Sea Islands have used kites for
fishing since very early times. They would attach bait to the tail of the kite
together with a sort of net to catch the fish. This technique is still in use
today. But the precise date when this started is unclear. By contrast there is
sound documented evidence about the ancient use of kites in China.
