In our country, from which dynasty did we start to make firecrackers with sulfur?

The origin of firecrackers (English: bracket) has a history of more than 2000 years. The appellation of firecrackers is different in different historical periods, from "firecrackers", "exploding poles" and "firecrackers" to "firecrackers". In Shangli, Pingxiang, Jiangxi, the hometown of firecrackers and fireworks, people still call a firecracker "firecrackers", which is large in size, rich in gunpowder and strong in explosive power. At first, firecrackers were mainly used to ward off evil spirits, but in modern times, China people set off firecrackers in almost traditional festivals, weddings, celebrations, temple fairs and other occasions, especially during the Spring Festival, the use of firecrackers exceeded half of the annual consumption.

This custom has a history of more than 2000 years in China. The Story of Jingchu Times once recorded that on the first day of the first month, when the rooster crowed for the first time, everyone got up and set off firecrackers in their own yard to drive away the evil spirits of plague.

Later, after constant chemical experiments, alchemists found that saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal together could cause combustion and explosion, so they invented gunpowder. Some people put gunpowder in bamboo tubes and detonate it loudly, thus replacing the ancient custom of burning bamboo. By the Northern Song Dynasty, there had been fireworks wrapped in paper, and there was a distinction between single ring and double ring. It was renamed "artillery warfare" and later "firecrackers".

Founder of Fireworks: Yi Lee-Founder of Fireworks. Li Yi lives in Mashi Village, Shangli, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. Tang Yuanhe was born on April 18th in the 15th year (AD 820). According to legend, the former teacher had devoted himself to studying the record of burning bamboo to exorcise evil spirits in The Story of Jingchu Times, and he enjoyed it. Finally, he got a quip and firecrackers took the initiative to attack. The magical firecrackers and fireworks with a long history have created endless wealth and eternal civilization for the world. Li Yi, the ancestor, has made great contributions and blessed the future. It is well known that fireworks have been drinking water for generations.
