Display tubes launch from a tube and go high into the air. They come in 2 types - single and multiple tubes. Single tubes are a pre-loaded aerial shell with some beautiful and exotic effects like a giant chrysanthemum burst, a green palm tree, purple comet, etc. Multiple tubes contain several tubes with a single shell each and are fused to fire a few seconds apart.
Fireworks were invented in ancient China in the 17th century to scare away evil spirits, as a natural extension of one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, gunpowder. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world.
Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (ex.; confetti). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Fireworks are generally classified as to where they perform, either ground or aerial.
