China History Forum is an online chinese history forum, discussion board or community for all who are interested in learning and discussing chinese history from prehistoric till modern times, including chinese art of war, chinese culture topics.
According to the site http://www.bokee.net/forummodule/view/Foru...w/11/70288.html, the han general Han Xin once used a kite to fly over the enemy's capital city and then later calculate the distance his army had to traverse to the capital city by measuring the length of string/rope tied onto the kite.
Although there is documentary evidence for the early emergence of the kite in China, historical analysts concede that China may get the credit due to the fact that its history was well preserved in both written and artistic records.
