Fireworks were accidentally invented between 960 and 1127 BC by a Chinese chef in China, then they were used in China to keep away evil spirits with their strong explosions. The creation of fireworks has had a revolutionary impact on military artillery and celebratory activities over the years since its creation. The accidental invention of fireworks led to the creation of traditions that are used in multiple parts of the world for celebratory and religious activities. Legends say that the fireworks were created completely by mistake. It has been said that a Chinese chef accidentally poured salt and pepper on the kitchen fire and this created a beautiful flame in the fire. This discovery was later introduced into Chinese celebrations during the Song Dynasty. Firecrackers were introduced into Chinese celebrations such as New Year's Eve by a man named Li Tian, but instead of throwing pepper Slat into the fire he filled bamboo sticks with gunpowder to have a more dramatic explosion. Firecrackers were mainly used in the New Year as a religious ceremony to scare away evil spirits with their loud noises. Fireworks were then used for celebrations and traditions. Between 960 and 1127 BC, fireworks began to be used for New Year's Eve. The fireworks used during New Year celebrations were bamboo sticks filled with gunpowder which were then thrown into the fire to produce a loud noise. The use of fireworks for celebrations has evolved over time, an example of this is on July 4, 1777, during the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams ordered fireworks to be set off to commemorate the event . The use of fireworks during the 4th of July is a tradition that people carry on to this day, as is the use of fireworks for New Year's Eve......middle of paper..... .Sney has radically revolutionized the behind the launch of fireworks in its shows, Disney has decided to adopt a more ecological approach since 2004, using compressed air instead of gunpowder. Disney puts on hundreds of shows each year at each of its many resorts and parks and has made a commitment to the environment, and is now hard at work trying to encourage other theme parks to follow in its footsteps. Disney has donated some of its eco-friendly fireworks mechanisms to other parks in hopes that they too will decide to go green by using compressed air instead of gunpowder. So far other theme parks have started to follow in their footsteps such as Universal Studios which has started to go green with the help of Disney's eco-friendly fireworks mechanisms, Six Flags which has also started transitioning towards this greener alternative in its fourth annual July show.
