China is the origin of fireworks Over 2,000 years ago, fireworks were created in China. They originated when a cook accidentally mixed charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur. The explosive combination was thought to ward off evil spirits. Soon after, warlords realized the power of the explosive. And so the tradition of firing off fireworks spread. Fireworks are now a popular way of celebrating special occasions. But how did they start? The early years of fireworks were a time of turmoil in international politics and persistent warfare. As a result, many fireworks factories closed down, their product range decreased and sales suffered. However, after 1978, the fireworks industry entered a golden period. During this period, the open door policy and the gradual opening of factories in China allowed fireworks to be exported to foreign countries. A few countries still import fireworks from China today. Fireworks were believed to dispel evil spirits by the ancient Chinese. They also believed that sparks and fire would scare ghosts. They also believed the smoke would create a healthy atmosphere. In time, fireworks were popularized in West Asia and East Asia. They were used for military ceremonies and public gatherings. In the 10th century, Chinese people learned how to attach fireworks to arrows and launch them from the sky. This was the beginning of aerial displays. Marco Polo brought fireworks to Europe in the 12th century. During this time, Italians developed the first formula for gunpowder, which was used to create fireworks. Today's fireworks are made with exotic minerals and metal salts that give them a deeper hue and special effects. Fireworks are a common part of Chinese New Year celebrations. These colorful displays are used to expel evil spirits and celebrate the new year. In the 21st century, they have spread to other cultures and are an integral part of celebratory events, victories, and joyous occasions.
