On the evening of February 8, Yongjing County, Gansu Province, organized Wang's "Iron Flower" activity to show people the cultural and artistic charm of this ancient folk custom. Wang's "iron flower" is to smelt pig iron to a high temperature of 1600 ° C ~ 1700 ° C, inject the melted iron juice into the prepared "flower stick" (crowbar) prepared in advance, hit the flower stick with a wooden stick, hit the molten iron into the sky, and scatter it into a "fire tree honeysuckle" and "iron flower fire rain" scene. Wang's pig iron smelting and casting technology is a national intangible cultural heritage. Photo by Hou Qizhi
