What is the scene of Emperor Qianlong watching fireworks?

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a pavilion called "the mountain is high and the water is long" in the west of Yuanmingyuan in Beijing. There is a wide open space in front of the pavilion, which is suitable for fireworks. Every important traditional festival, palace officials will watch fireworks here.

The throne of Emperor Qianlong watching fireworks is located on the first floor of a long building with high mountains and high waters. When watching fireworks, the banquet began immediately after Emperor Qianlong took his seat in joy.

First of all, there are cultural programs, including band ensemble, wrestling performance, shooting drills and singing by foreign artists. After the cultural program, Emperor Qianlong personally announced the start of the fireworks display, and the zygotic flower bait line on each stake was lit at the same time. In an instant, I saw countless golden snakes flying like lightning, wonderful fireworks blooming brilliantly, thousands of exotic flowers blooming for the second time, and the night sky shining like day.

Then, before unloading, the guards wearing mink embroidered robes each held zygote flowers and set them off. All kinds of characters and flowers and birds jumped out of the zygote, which was lifelike.

When the last zygote flower "Wan Guo Le Chun Taiwan" burned, all the fireworks arranged by the West Factory along the river were lit at the same time, and all the firecrackers were suddenly blown into a sea of fireworks in full bloom. In fact, in the process of development and invention of gunpowder, its practical application is first used for medical treatment, then for entertainment and performance, and then extended to the military field.
