This project aims to deeply understand the close connection between the Liuyang fireworks industry and the local economy, humanities and chemistry through a two-day and one-night visit, experience and study in Liuyang, Changsha.
This is the Liuyang fireworks I saw with my own eyes, and this picture was taken by me.
This article will briefly introduce the places I have been to in this study.
My first stop was Qingtai International Fireworks Exhibition Center, a renowned local fireworks company.
Here, through presentations by company executives, we gained insights into how the enterprise’s growth mirrors the evolution of fireworks history. We also toured their complete product line of pyrotechnic innovations.
Next, we visited two different types of factories that produce fireworks. The first method involves extensive manual production with a large workforce, while the second utilizes modernized factory facilities for enhanced safety – though still requiring minimal human oversight.
We also visited the Liqi Temple.
No matter who talks about the history of fireworks during the whole journey, the first thing mentioned is Li Yu. He is also known as the ancestor of firecrackers.
This is only half of the journey, and other locations will be added in the next chapter.
