How was gunpowder used in acient china?
Gunpowder had many uses in ancient China. The first use was fireworks, which was its only use for quite a few years. Several years later people had begun to realise that gunpowder could be used for warfare. This lead to the people in ancient China inventing the first cannon. They soon made many more weapons such as rockets, bombs and fire arrows. This is one of the reasons why China’s armies were so strong compared to other armies at that time.
