Liuyang fireworks history

Liuyang fireworks, including firecrackers and fireworks, can be traced back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. The original name of firecrackers is "braided firecrackers", which means braided firecrackers. The raw materials for making firecrackers are earthenware paper, earth nitrate, sulfur, iron filings, carbon powder, red and white soil, etc. "Firecrackers" were originally filled with gunpowder, which was ignited with lead wire, making a loud noise and emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Legend has it that the inventor of firecrackers was Li Miao of the Tang Dynasty. Today, there is still a "ancestral temple" built in the Song Dynasty in Tianjiaxiang, Mashi Street, Liuyang, which is regarded as the founder of the firecrackers industry. The Tang Dynasty's Tales of Different Stories wrote: "Li Miao is in the middle, and the neighboring Zhong Tuo family worships the mandrill, living in the courtyard with bamboo. It seems that the earliest "firecrackers" are probably the crackling sound of bamboo when it burns. After the invention of gunpowder, there were paper rolls and firecrackers.
