　　风筝的来历

　　风筝又叫“风鸢”、“纸鸢”、“纸鹞”,在我国已有两千多年历史.最早的风筝是以木材为主制作的,称为“木鸢”.它可以载人载物,飞越险阻山川,弥补车马航船的不足.它还运用在军事上,成为从空中侦察敌情的“尖端武器”.相传春秋时,公输盘就曾用它从空中侦察过宋国的城防情况.后来以纸代木,逐渐成为人们娱乐的玩具.五代时,人们还在纸鸢上系上竹哨,发出筝（一种乐器）一样的鸣声,所以叫做“风筝”.

　　北宋以后,风筝普遍流行于民.到清明之际,风筝的制作更为精巧,并出现了研究风筝的专门著作.

　　风筝不仅是人们喜爱的玩具,它还是进行科学发明创造的助手.美国科学家富兰克林曾利用它来研究雷电,发明了避雷针；莱特兄弟则根据它升空的原理,研究制造了飞机.
