In June 2008, the craftsmanship of Wanzai fireworks was inscribed on the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage extended list. Famous far and wide for their crisp sound, high burst rate and fragrance, Wanzai fireworks have grown from a single bang into today's combined artistry of sound, color, smoke, scent and blooms.
The history of Wanzai fireworks traces back to the Tang dynasty and flourished in the Song. By the Daoguang reign of the Qing, Wanzai firecrackers were "trading north and south, with merchants coming and going"; under the Guangxu reign, "men and women, young and old, all made their living from it", with high-quality, affordable products sold to Guangdong, Fujian and beyond.
Today Wanzai makes over 4,000 varieties across nine major categories — firecrackers, toy fireworks, display shells and more — sold across China and exported to more than 40 countries and regions in Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia.
