It is said by some people that Moste, one of the philosophers in ancient China spent three years in making the first kite in the world, and that the kite he made crashed the first day it flew in the sky.

也有人相信风筝是中国古代木匠鲁班发明的。据说他的风筝用木头和竹子制作，飞了三天后才落地。

It is also believed by others that Luban, the greatest carpenter in ancient China invented the kite, and that his kite made of wood and bamboo flew for three days before it landed on the ground. 作者：读书有三到我先到 https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv21156241/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0 出处：bilibili… Read the rest
