In Chinese toy kites also have the nickname zhiyuan, in which zhi means paper and yuan means a bird of the kite species. It is interesting how Chinese and Westerners, quite independently, seem to have arrived at the same observation of the similarity of the birds and the toys.
中國人把風箏稱為「紙鳶」，而鳶的英文名字 Black kite，是黑風箏的意思，中西方對老鷹的觀察似乎有異曲同工之妙。
