Fireworks are one of China's traditional cultures, and today they can be seen all over the world. In this article, we will introduce the origin and development of fireworks

* The Origin of Fireworks

Fireworks originated from gunpowder, which was inadvertently invented by alchemists during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Then the Tang Dynasty, the plague epidemic, Taoist priest Li Tian (tián) to a small bamboo tube filled with nitrogen, guide ignition, nitrous smoke to disperse the miasma of the mountains, effectively suppressing the epidemic of the plague, firecrackers and thus quickly popularized. “Firecrackers” used to be the ancient Chinese New Year's Eve used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits to welcome good luck. Burning a pile of bamboo, let it make a natural cracking sound, known as “firecrackers”.

The chemical principle of fireworks

So far, there are more than 3,000 types of fireworks with comprehensive effects such as sound, light, smoke, color, and shape have appeared. Now the firecrackers are inserted with black gunpowder, its main component is potassium sulfate, sulfur carbon, charcoal. It is in contact with open flame can instantly expand thousands of times, wrapped in a paper shell can not stand the strong gas pressure and produce an explosion.

If you add different metal powders in the gunpowder, you can release a variety of colors of fireworks. Therefore, firecrackers, fireworks must pay special attention to safety. Aluminum, titanium and magnesium all form bright white sparks, while iron generally produces orange sprays. The combination of iron and titanium elements will form an iron-titanium alloy, which will form golden-colored sparks when burned.

Traditional applications of fireworks

Fireworks are not only a symbol of celebration, but also a kind of hope and aspiration for a better life. It is also the way people use to express their joy and celebrate.In traditional Chinese culture, in the New Year, set off fireworks, the things that go up in smoke with the fireworks.

Development and Innovation of Fireworks

Dazzling fireworks lit up the night sky, spelling out the words “One World, One Family”, the fireworks show at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics in February this year, allowing the world to see the unique expression of “Chinese romance”. Chinese fireworks are being sold all over the world, their applications are becoming more and more widespread, and many innovative fireworks products have appeared on the market, which are favored by consumers all over the world for their unique display effects and packaging design.

What are the principles of making fireworks

Beautiful fireworks can be seen everywhere during the holiday season and everyone marvels at their beauty, so why are they colorful? And how is it made? This article will reveal the secret for you.

* Why do fireworks come in a variety of colors?

The important principle that people rely on to mix the colors of fireworks is the pyrochromic reaction, which is a reaction in which certain metals or their compounds burn in a colorless flame, causing the flame to take on a particular color. To put it simply, the flame reaction means that different metals produce different colored flames when they are burned.

For example, calcium will produce a brick-red flame when burning; potassium will have a purple flame when burning; sodium will show a yellow flame when burning. So, people use the principle of flame color reaction, in the fireworks consciously add specific metal elements, so that the fireworks become more colorful.

Why fireworks come in many shapes

Similar to the flame color reaction, the addition of different substances will cause the fireworks to take on different sparkly states when they burn. For example, hardwood carbon powder is added to fireworks so that when they are lit, they appear as small, granular points of light. It looks like little golden stars. This is because some of the charcoal particles are dispersed in the air as they are being ejected, and when they meet the oxygen in the air they begin to burn, producing the starbursts of light.

How fireworks are sent up into the sky

Finally, you need to solve the problem of how to send the fireworks up into the sky, after you have made them. Put it into the launch tube. The launch tube contains propellant fuel, which is still mostly gunpowder. When ignited the heat and gases from the propellant fuel will send the fireworks high into the air. After lifting into the air the fuse of the firework shell is lit, and when it explodes the star is also lit, giving the final effect of fireworks.
