Iron Flower Show

Description

Iron Flower Show (Da Tie Hua) is a traditional Chinese folk firework performance that started in the Northern Song dynasty, flourished during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has a history of over a thousand years. Today, it's mainly popular in Hebei and Henan. During the performance, with drums beating, the molten iron is heated to 1600°C-1700°C. Performers throw the scalding iron into the sky, and another person hits the iron with a wooden board before it falls, creating a spectacular scene of fiery blooms in the air.
