The stickers on the matchbox are one of the four collections. Spark's poetic reputation comes from its collectors. There are many match collectors abroad, and the former Soviet Union, Britain, Japan, Sweden and other countries have special spark organizations or associations. Sparks first appeared in 1827 with John Walker matches in England. Walker brand matches are 13 years earlier than the world's first stamp "Black Penny". The sparks in China can be divided into three periods in chronological order: (1) China began to import matches in 1865, so the history of sparks in China began in 1865 at the earliest? Sparks (matchbox stickers) (22 photos). From 1879 to 1922, the match industry appeared in China. The sparks in this period were called "early sparks", and few sparks existed in this period. Among them, the first match factory in China was Qiaoming Match Factory, which was built in Wenchangsha, Foshan in 1879 by the returned overseas Chinese from Guangdong Province, and produced "Dragon Dance" brand matches, which was the first spark in China. (2) From 1923 to 1949, the match industry in China developed. From 195 to 1958, the spark of the match factory continued to use the traditional brand name, with the words "state-owned" and "public-private partnership". The sparks from 1923 to 1958 were called "mid-term sparks". (3) After 1958, it was called "Recent Spark", and the spark pattern changed, and there were stuck flowers and set flowers. Spark's content and theme have been continuously innovated, and its forms have become more colorful. Commemorative sparks, advertising sparks, calendar sparks and lantern riddle sparks have come out one after another. In July 1958, Beijing Match Factory launched the first set of sparks in China, which were divided into three groups: birds, scenery and flowers, with 12 in each group.

The fireworks are gorgeous, and the sparks are a little sad, which is a fleeting scarlet in the night.
