What are London fireworks?

The fireworks festival in Britain lasted for 400 years, which originated from an extreme explosion 400 years ago. In today's words, it is a terrorist incident.

Queen Elizabeth died on 1603, which is good news for Roman Catholics. They hoped that the new king James I would tolerate their beliefs, but their hopes were soon dashed. A group of young Catholics decided to root out the king and parliamentary dignitaries. The leader's name is Robert? RobrrtCatesby, he put forward a plan to blow up parliament. But none of these people can use gunpowder to explode. Fortunately, they soon found Guido? GuidoFawkes, later called Guy, is a veteran, brave and proficient in gunpowder technology. 1605165438+1From the evening of October 4th to the early morning of October 5th, Guy Fawkes got 36 oak barrels filled with gunpowder and entered the Parliament Building, keeping a low profile until dawn. But he was soon caught by the king's guards. Overnight, Guy's explosion shocked the whole of Britain. The king ordered Guy to be executed and hung his head on the Tower Bridge in London. These participants were also arrested and executed to warn the rebels.

Before fireworks night, people made Gay paper men, and children took it to passers-by to ask for change and buy firecrackers along the street. Of course, Guy's ultimate fate is the ashes in the bonfire.

This year is the 400th birthday of the Fireworks Festival, which was promoted in London very early. British ITV spent 65,438+0,000 pounds (about 65,438+0.353 million RMB). According to the ratio of 1: 1, the parliament building of that year reappeared in the suburbs far away from the city. 1 65438+1October1Sunday night, demonstrate the explosion site with the same weight explosives prepared by Guy. It is reported that Guy's 36 barrels of explosives are enough to blow up the building 20 times.

As soon as I arrived in London, I made an appointment with my friends to explore the fireworks festival in the city. We stood in Trafalgar Square waiting for the holiday night. But we didn't see gorgeous fireworks, only firecrackers from some surrounding parks and fireworks scattered in the night sky. I asked my English friend next to me, and he said that there were no fireworks on this festival, and it would cost a lot of money to show them. ...

Sitting on the subway back to the city, I can't help thinking that if Guy really succeeds, just like a fire of Xiang Yu, then this parliament building, which symbolizes London and represents Britain, may become the second Epang Palace, just in ruins.

Fireworks night is a memorable festival, which makes us not only cherish today, but also remember yesterday.
