Legends say that the inspiration for kites was a wooden bird flying all day. Most likely, people were inspired by a hat blown off by the wind and invented feng zheng.

Legends also say that a general bound bamboo whistles on a huge feng zheng made of ox hide. The kite made horrible sounds to ward off enemies.

Other versions say he wrote important messages on feng zheng and sent them to his troops. The military use of kites was just folklore. After all, feng zheng are toys.

Classic kites use bamboo, rattan or some other strong, but flexible, wood for the spars; paper or light fabrics such as silk for the sails; and are flown on string or twine.

People often make exquisite decorations on feng zheng. Feng zheng have become real works of art. They seem like beautiful paintings flying in the blue sky.
