No one knows when the first kite was made．The first record of a kite was more than 2，000 years ago
in China．Han Xin，the leader of an army，wanted to bring down a king．He decided to dig a tunnel （隊道）into the king's palace．He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length （长度）of its string （线）．In this way，he could determinehow long the tunnel should be．His men in the tunnel

Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years．In the 1700s，kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest．They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first
