Kites were invented by the chinese
the Chinese people have a big history of having beautiful things like kites that sometimes fly ahead in parades or are found in downtown Hong-Kong. The dragon for example is one of the things along with kites that are presented at Chinese New Year. it must be that China is like a flying continent since it's got so many beautiful sights and kites just go along with that, or maybe it's the fact that Chinese marvel at the things that can fly so welll, I think that everybody has marvelled at a kite at least once. China's history just includes kites it's not really a question of why they use kites really but how they use them.
