How did the wax come from? Which country invented candles?

Beeswax, which appeared in the 3rd century BC, may be the embryonic form of candles we see today. It is said that in pre-Qin and ancient times, someone tied mugwort and reed into a bundle, then dipped it in oil and lit it for lighting. Later, someone wrapped a hollow reed with cloth, filled it with beeswax and lit it. Judging from the existing literature, the time of beeswax production in China is roughly the same as that in the West. Unlike modern candles, ancient candles are made of animal fat and have many disadvantages. At that time, the wick of the candle was made of cotton thread and stood upright in the center of the flame. Because it can't burn out and carbonize, the end of the remaining wick must be cut off with scissors from time to time. This is undoubtedly a troublesome thing. 1820, a Frenchman, Jean Bessie, invented a wick made of three cotton threads, which made the wick loosen naturally when burning, and the end just tilted to the outside of the flame, so it could burn completely. 1825, French chemists Schaeffler and Gay-Lussac obtained the patent for producing paraffin wax stearin candles. The appearance of paraffin wax stearin candle opened a new era in the history of human lighting. Later, someone discovered a large oil field in North America, so a large amount of paraffin can be extracted from oil, and the ideal candle has been popularized and popularized all over the world.
