He wrote: “…a village not far from Da Nang has purple-red books lying on the roadside. At first I didn’t know what they were for…”“… Then it was explained to me that the books were dyed and dried. Then they were used to make firecracker shells. Almost every family had a small firecracker “factory”. Everyone took part in the production, even children – despite the dangers of the firecrackers,” Mr. Grumpe recalls.

By the mid-19th century, this craft had flourished and was the main source of income for many households in the village.

The two main types of firecrackers produced in the village were firecrackers and fireworks.
