What are display fireworks? Display fireworks are a series of fireworks that are large enough to be seen from quite a distance. This type of display fireworks are usually seen to celebrate some momentous occasion like a holiday. Some training is required to use display fireworks safely and in many areas a special permit is required.
Display
fireworks can trace their origin back to the Chinese long before
gunpowder was invented. Some think that the original display fireworks
consisted of chunks of bamboo thrown into a hot fire. When heated the
bamboo which stores sap and air explodes making a loud noise. Later on
in Chinese history, alchemist discovered gunpowder. When this
gunpowder was inserted into a shoot of bamboo and thrown into the fire
a very loud bang was the result. This is considered the first
firecracker.
