In the Qing Dynasty, there were workshops to make all kinds of fireworks, such as boxes, fireworks poles, threaded peony, water hibiscus, grape stands, flag fires, skirting lines, flying to ten ring, five ghosts disturbing judges, box guns, ceiling lanterns and so on. There are also shelling Xiangyang and burning warships. It shows the scene of the two armies fighting wits and crossing guns and arrows, which is thrilling and dazzling.

The festival fireworks in Qing Dynasty were large-scale and spectacular, which represented the high level of fireworks design, production and performance at that time. Every year, from the 13th to 19th of the first month, we leave for several nights in a row. The evening of the 19th day of the first month is the climax of fireworks, and palace ministers and foreign VIPs in Beijing are invited to watch it. Although the capital of the Qing Dynasty was a place where fireworks flourished, Suzhou in the south was not inferior. The Lantern Festival fireworks show in suburban and rural community temples retains simple folk activities and has a lively and happy festival. During this time, the common people went out to catch the fireworks show.
