Who invented fireworks?

Who invented fireworks?

  • I've been looking on the internet and most websites say the chinese invented fireworks but...other websites have been saying some other countries invented them!Who actually did??

  • Answer:

    The Chinese sweetie, but it was so long ago that they've forgotten his name, lol. Most likely, as with most things, it wasn't so much invented, but rather developed and perfected over time. Although Elizabeth seems to have tracked down the oriental gentleman in question, good researching there Elizabeth, and thanks, learn something new everyday!

Most historians agree that fireworks originated in China. HISTORY OF FIREWORKS. Fireworks originated in China some 2,000 years ago. The most prevalent legend has it that fireworks were discovered or invented by accident by a Chinese cook working in a field kitchen who happened to mix charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter (all commonly found in the kitchen in those days). The mixture burned and when compressed in an enclosure (a bamboo tube), the mixture exploded. A Chinese monk named Li Tian, who lived near the city of Liu Yang in Hunan Province, is credited with the invention of firecrackers about 1,000 years ago. The Chinese people celebrate the invention of the firecracker every April 18 by offering sacrifices to Li Tian. The firecrackers, both then and now, are thought to have the power to fend off evil spirits and ghosts that are frightened by the loud bangs of the firecrackers.
