DID YOU KNOW THAT IT
WAS NOT THE EUROPEANS THAT INVENTED THE GUN POWDER
Alchemist were the first people in ancient China to dabble
inChemistry.in Chemistry. In search for” Pills of immortality”,
it was found that a mixture of sulfur, salt peter and charcoal could cause an
explosion. People called the mixture of these three materials “gun powder”.A
book in the middle of the Tang dynasty recorded the method to make gunpowder.At
the end of the Tang dynasty,gunpowder was applied for military use.
In the song dynasty, gunpowder was widely used. Not only was
it used in daily life, such as for hunting, stone-mining and fireworks, but
also for military actions. This technique of making firearms had entered a new stage.
The gunpowder weapons made in the Northern Song Dynasty were mainly for burning
and explosion firearms such as fire arrows,pili
burning balls and jili burning balls. In the southern song
Dynasty, the Fistulous firearms were invented .The song army had invented a
fistular kind of ‘fire arms’ and used them to fight against the Mongolian army.
The fire gun was made by putting the gunpowder into bamboo canisters and then
zike into them .zike resembled bullet in character, but was made of stone and
iron block. This was the oldest crude muskets
in the world with which showed great progress in the history of firearms.so
china is worth commending for they pioneered this adding to the military so
