According to historical records, sulfur was used as early as 3000 BC in ancient China. At that time, people used sulfur to prevent the fire from cooling, and presented it as a precious gift to Emperor China. In the Book of Rites, there are records of "offering sulfur by train" and "offering sulfur by horses in past dynasties", which shows that sulfur has been widely used as early as ancient China.
In ancient Egypt, the use of sulfur was also recorded. Archaeologists say that ancient Egyptian spice manufacturers used sulfur in the process of making spices.
As for the excavation of the west, it can be traced back to the Hellenistic era in the 3rd century BC. At that time, people used sulfur to make some special drugs and nasal yin-collecting agents to treat diseases. In China and the west, sulfur has always been a very important material, which is widely used in distillation, pharmacy, medical treatment, production and technology.
In a word, as early as ancient times, people began to use sulfur, and with the passage of time, people's application of sulfur became more and more extensive. Now sulfur has become a very important strategic resource and plays an important role in the development of global economy and science and technology.
