The Chinese have in the past used kites as signal equipment. I found an interesting article about kites on another website. http://www.answers.com/topic/kite Another thing to think about... is look at a battle in war, and the thousands of troops/horses/etc on the land. If it's a flat-open area of the battleground, then something really high up in the air would be a good place to signal your commanders on the field to do certain things. Different colored or shaped kites could mean different things to help give them that extra 'edge' to win the battle. The enemy may see the kites go up, however wouldn't understand what they meant. They also used Hummers (aerolian harps) on their kites to create a haunting noise that could be rather scary!

The dragon for example is one of the things along with kites that are presented at Chinese New Year. it must be that China is like a flying continent since it's got so many beautiful sights and kites just go along with that, or maybe it's the fact that Chinese marvel at the things that can fly so welll, I think that everybody has marvelled at a kite at least once. China's history just includes kites it's not really a question of why they use kites really but how they use them.
