65,438+0,400 years ago, people on both sides of Nanchuan heard that people were harmed by mandrills, and even Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was uneasy, so he sent a letter to the whole country for medical treatment. Li Yi, who was born in Dayao, Nanxiang, Liuyang, Hunan, painstakingly developed firecrackers, which were not only used to ward off evil spirits, but also to drive away the evil spirits of Taizong. Li Yi was named "the ancestor of firecrackers" by Emperor Taizong because of his meritorious service in rescuing the driver.

Folklore reflects the good wishes of the people of China. However, according to historical records and related literature and books, fireworks were invented in the Tang Dynasty. During the period of Xuanhe (1119-125) in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fireworks really made of gunpowder in China were mature, and there were large-scale fireworks.

The birth and development of fireworks and firecrackers in China fully embodies the infinite wisdom of China people represented by Li Yi, the ancestor of fireworks, and shows the profoundness of our national traditional culture. It is the artistic crystallization of China people's ancient inventions and the wisdom expression of ancient folk customs in China.
