The people of 12th Century China were the first people to invent fireworks. They can't trace fireworks back to one single person as the inventor, rather than the whole civilization. Fireworks really were just an expansion off of the Chinese invention of gunpowder in earlier centuries. Ancient Chinese scientists are chemists because they figured out the chemicals it takes to make explosives. The pretty colors created by the fireworks dazzled the people and made fireworks a big part of their lives.
