Basic content: According to the "Hou Wulin Jiushi", in the 10th year of Song Chunxi (1183), Song Xiaozong went to Zhejiang to watch the tide and enjoy the fireworks. Xin Qiji's "The east wind blows thousands of flowers at night, and blows down, like rain"; Zhu Shuzhen's "Fire trees and silver flowers are red, and the sky drums are blowing in the spring breeze" From these witty words of Southern Song poets, we can know that fireworks played an important role in setting off the festive atmosphere at that time.
