火药、“火炮”和火铳最早都诞生于中国,可惜的是后来都未能在中国壮大起来,反而是传入欧洲后,在那里得到了迅猛的发展。火药传入欧洲后,类似与我国早期的手铳在14世纪中叶时出现了。当时的意大利人发明出一种被称为“希欧皮”的火门枪。虽然东西方火铳的名称不一样,但其基本原理是一样的——由铸铜或铁制成的一端封死(但开有一个被称为火门的小孔,用以点燃火药)的发射管,发射管后再绑上一根供射手控制的木棍。火铳在使用时,先从铳口往底部装进黑火药,再装上弹丸,接着用火柴等从火门点燃火药进行发射。 Gunpowder, firearms and fireworks were originally born in China. Unfortunately, they were not able to grow up in China later. Instead, they were rapidly developed in China after they were introduced to Europe. After the gunpowder was introduced into Europe, something similar to that of China's early clam appeared in the mid-14th century. Italians at that time invented a kind of fire gun called “Sioupi”. Although the names of eastern and western fireworks are not the same, the basic principle is the same - one end sealed by cast copper or iron (but with a small hole called a fire door to ignite gunpowder) Launch tube, launch tube and then tie a stick for the shooter control. In use, fireflies should be loaded with black powder from the mouth of the mouth to the bottom, loaded with projectiles, and then ignited with gunpowder from fire doors for firing.
