中 国 传 统 文 化 THE CHINESE TRADITIONAL CULTURE 风筝 KITE 风筝的起源The Origin of Kite 风筝最早是中国人发明的. Chinese invented the first kite. 古时称为“鹞” yào ，北方称 为“鸢” yuān. In ancient time, kite was called “sparrow hawk and also was well known as glede in northern region of China. 春秋战国时，东周哲人墨翟（公元前478-392年），曾“费时三年，以木制木鸢，飞升天空．”。墨子在鲁山（今山东潍坊境内），“斫木为鹞，三年而成，飞一日而败”。这是说墨子研究试制了三年， 终于用木板制成了一只木鸟，但只飞了 一天就坏了。墨子制造的这只“木鹞” （或“木鸢”）就是中国最早的风筝，也 是世界上最早的风筝。（约纪元前300 年左右），距今已有二千四百年。  In the Spring and Autumn Period in China, there was a philosopher named “ Mo Qu” (478-392 B.C.) in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He spent three years made a wooden glede that could fly in the air. He flied his wooden kite in Shandong Province of China, but it crashed just in one day. That wooden glede was the first kite in China and also same in the world. It’s over two thousand and four hundred years from now. ??  墨子把制风筝的事业传给了他的学生公输班（也称鲁 班），＜墨子?鲁问篇＞中说，鲁班根据墨翟的理想和 设计，用竹子做风筝。鲁班把竹子劈开削光滑，用火烤 弯曲，做成了喜鹊的样子，称为「木鹊」，在空中飞翔 达三天之久。＜鸿书＞上说：“公输班制木鸢以窥宋城”。 ??  Mo Qu taught his student Lu Ban how to make a kite. According to an ancient book “Mo Zi”, Lu Ban inherited his teacher’s skill and created his own design of a bamboo kite. He split bamboo into strips, heated them with fire and shaped them. He made a magpie shaped bamboo kite. That kite was able to fly in the sky for three days. The historical book “Hong Shu” said, Lu Ban made a kite to spy neighbor Song’s territory for military purpose. 风筝的用途 Usage of Kite 最初风筝常被利用为军事工具，用于三角测量 信号、天空风向测查和通讯的手段。 Kite was used for military purpose initially, like measuring distance and locating target, testing wind, and sending signal for communications. 据古书记载：“五代李郑于宫 中作纸鸢，引线乘风为戏， 后于鸢首以竹为，使风入 竹，声如筝鸣，故名风筝。” 故而不能发出声音的叫“纸 鸢”，能发出声音的叫“风筝” According to an ancient books: In the period of Five Dynasties in China, Li Zheng made a kite in imperial palace. A bamboo whistle was tied to a paper kite. It made sound like Zheng (a 21-25 string plucked instrument) while wind passed through. Since t
