What impact did gunpowder have on Chinese culture?

Answer 1

yeah but...It was used as a weapon at first but then abandoned since it was not effective. Not used in the common weapon form as we see gunpowder used today but more like flame throwers and bombs. It was mostly used however as festive device, hence the creation of fireworks. The invention of fireworkers, and use of fireworks it seems is what really seemed to affect the culture. Its wasnt until other societies got a hold of gunpowder did its use as a weapon really develope. If you want more information there is a great documentry by BBC on The effects of technology in society though out history.

Gunpowder made it much easier to destroy castle defenses, and changed warfare as a result.

There are people, including some historians, who say that the introduction of the musket ended the period of the knight in armor, because bullets could penetrate the armor.
