This year marks the 129th anniversary of Xi'an Jiaotong University's founding and the 69th anniversary of its relocation. In order to celebrate this day, the activity of "Flying a kite" will be held. Students will draw their own good wishes on the kite, and fly the kite to convey the blessing.
The paper kite, also known as kite, was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which has been more than 2,000 years. According to legend, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which took three years to develop, is the earliest origin of human kites. Later, Luban used bamboo to improve the material of kites in Mo Zhai. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cai Lun improved papermaking, that people began to make kites out of paper, which was called "paper kites".
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be a tool for transmitting information. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the development of the paper industry, people began to paste kites with paper; In the Song Dynasty, flying kites became a favorite outdoor activity.
