Explanation:

Under the rule of the T’ang Dynasty, about 700 AD, people used gunpowder more. T’ang Dynasty emperors used gunpowder to put on great fireworks displays.

Two hundred years later, in 904 AD, Chinese inventors saw that you could also use gunpowder as a weapon. First the army used fire arrows and fire spears. That’s basically like attaching a firecracker to the end of a spear or an arrow, so it will burn people.

Soon after the use of fire spears, Chinese armies made the next big step. They used gunpowder in the form of rockets. They put small stone cannonballs inside bamboo tubes and shot the cannonballs out by lighting gunpowder at one end. This is the same idea that makes guns and cannons work today.
