The earliest known kite was from 2300 B.C. they were invented in China
No one can tell for sure where the first kite was made.
The is no doubt that the kite originated in Asia but if China claims to have the most ancient writings about kites, the Malay people (nowadays spread mainly in an area comprising Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, are actually just as likely, or even more likely, to have invented the kite.
As seafarers, their knowledge of the wind, lines and sails materials was much greater than that of the Chinese. Even before paper was invented, in areas where fabric was not available or too costly, the most ancient types of kites may have had sails made from large single or assembled leaves, or from any other woven natural material similar to those used for making boat sails.
The tradition for making these kites is still alive in Indonesia nowadays, notably in Sulawesi and Lombok islands.
In many aspects the kite traditions of the Malay are more diverse and stronger than those of the Chinese. This is why, although there will never be any real evidence, some kite experts believe the kite first appeared in South East Asia rather than in mainland China.
Because no one had anything better to do and it kills time and it was used in modern ware far for transmitting raideo signals
Kites were also used to measure wind and weather conditions.
Kites were invented by the Chinese people over 2000 years ago. About in the 12th century, Chinese kites spread to the West which let to Oriental and Western kite culture forming after years of development. In this process, the traditional culture integrated with the Chinese kites craft, and finally formed the kite culture with unique characteristics.
Kites were invented in china, where silk and bamboo, light and strong materials, were readily available. Kites are claimed to have been invented by 5th century BC philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban.

All kites can be broken down into three basic groups: box kites, flat kites (most common one being the diamond kite) and soft kites.

The sticks used to shape some kites are called spars. Not all kites have spars. The spars can be made from many different materials typically modern kites are made with carbon fiber or plastic spars. Traditional kites may have wooden (especially bamboo) spars. Ideally the material used should be light weight, straight and slightly flexable.

Spars are the sticks which hold the kites shape against the wind. They are commonly made from tubular plastic, bamboo or aluminium. Good quality sports kites are made with carbon fibre spars.
