Who made the first kite in 1400?
There are pictoral and literary references to kites before 100 BC. The Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, American Indian, Australian Aborigine and some European countries have all made reference to flying objects on the wind by holding a string. Some archaeologists think the first sail boat may have been a cloth or hide of some kind supported by sticks or tethers to the boat before written history. I haven't yet found a reliable reference to who made the first kite on January 1 1400, though. I would assume that kite flying was a fairly popular celebration of the Gregorian New Year. The kite was first invented and popularized approximately 2,800 years ago in Weifang, China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily available: silk fabric for sail material, fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line, and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework. Alternatively, kite author Clive Hart and kite expert Tal Streeter hold that kites existed far before that time. The kite was said to be the invention of the famous 5th century BCE Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban. By at least 549 CE paper kites were being flown, as it was recorded in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission.
