The unlikely history of fireworks
It was just a week ago when America
celebrated its 244th birthday. As they do every year, fireworks were
displayed all over the country. It is one of America’s proud two-century-old
traditions.
But when and why was such entertainment of flash
and sounds created?
It was 22 centuries ago when Chinese people created
popping noise to scare a bigfoot. They found that bamboo shoots burst and cause
a big noise when some part is heated intensely.
Centuries later, gun power was created also
in China and people started to enjoy fireworks about a millennium ago.
So, Americans have been proudly enjoying this
Chinese invention for their nation’s birthday over two hundred years.
Enjoy watching the video to learn how
fireworks were invented.
