What impact did gunpowder have on Chinese culture?
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 untill 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.
