This is a shocking feast that you must not miss
One of the intangible cultural heritage
Dragon steel flower
The past and present lives of the Fire Dragon Steel Flower
The dragon steel flower known as the "first dragon in China"
Originated from the folk, passed down through the generations
Strike iron flowers, celebrate harvests, and welcome the New Year
Every New Year, many places
This grand folk performance will be celebrated
The earliest iron flower can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period
It also flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties
The craftsmen who originated from the blacksmith found that the molten iron splashed brilliantly and beautifully
Apply it to celebration performances
There is now a grand scene
Achieve a brilliant
Behind the dazzling bloom
It is the countless sweat of the performers
What a process this visual feast needs to go through
Let's declassify it for you now
Before the performance, the performer must first burn the molten iron with charcoal
Bare-chested in the cold wind
It takes about an hour
The iron blocks also turned into fiery molten steel
At this time, the temperature of molten iron is 1500 °C!
Playing iron is an extremely difficult technical job
Two people are needed to cooperate
One person scooped up the molten iron and threw it into the air
The other hit hard with a plank
Hit the molten iron into the night sky
When fighting, be fast, accurate, and fierce
Tacit understanding of cooperation is also needed
in order to play the effect of spark splashing
And in the middle of the performance
Splashing steel flowers fell on the body that called a piping hot
So even if it's outside in the cold
Dragon dancers also tend to wear no clothes on their bodies
Shoes also need to be taped
To prevent burns from sparks of high temperatures
Even with superb technology and rich experience
When you walk through a brilliant field of stars
It is also impossible to avoid being burned by molten steel
So Dragon Steel Flower is still a "game of the brave"
The dragon dancers are always moving forward
Only then did this fiery blessing come with it
Iron Water Fire Dragon welcomes the New Year
Combine the art of dragon dancing and "fireworks"
"Molten Iron Meteor" flew all over the sky
The dragon danced below
Sometimes up, sometimes down
Sometimes circling, sometimes crossing
Ancient craftsmanship shows great vitality
It's dizzying
Molten Iron is slammed into the air by the performers
In an instant, ten thousand meteors bloomed from the sky
Then a series of stars form in the sky
The red dragon travels freely through the dotted steel fire
When the star point falls to the ground
Colliding with the floor again bursts out more small stars
It presents a majestic display
Brilliant and stunning gesture
Sparks splashed
The dancers were all shirtless
When really staged in front of you
What I felt was an incredible shock
It's really "man dances in the dragon, the dragon flies in the fire"
Stars flicker in the night sky
Exploded into one lump after another of brilliance
You can come to the ancient city of Taierzhuang to see the ancient skills that have been passed down for thousands of years
It is a great blessing in life
String together childhood memories with a brilliant firework
Just enjoy this dazzling and shocking dragon event
It's already worth it
Pleasantly surprised
