Title	Hawk kite
Subject	Kites Kites -- History Hawks in art
Description	The first kites were probably flown in China more than 3,000 years ago. Like this kite, they were made by stretching silk over bamboo frames. Each year, people all over China celebrate Kite Festivals on the 9th day of the 9th month of the Chinese calendar. On this day people launch their finest kites for all to see. Kites fill the sky from morning to nightfall and thousands of people spend the day outdoors watching the antics of the kites. Children even get a day off from school! At the end of the day, the kites are released and it is believed that all bad luck is carried away with them. The artist of this kite is the grandson of the late artist Wei Yuan Ten.
