Intangible Cultural Heritage:Molten “iron flower” Fireworks Performance
Molten “iron flower” fireworks performance is a large-scale folk traditional fireworks performance. It is a shocking folk cultural performing skill found by ancient Chinese craftsmen in the process of making ironware. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of more than a thousand years. In 2008, it was announced as a ' national intangible cultural heritage ' by the State Council and the Ministry of Culture.
The skill of playing molten“iron flower”has a long history and the performance scene is grand. Craftsmen in a thousand degrees of iron flower are shirtless but they can still retreat freely, not scalded. The combination of modern fireworks and traditional acrobatics is totally amazing. It enriches the folk art storage of the Chinese nation and plays an important role in activating the cultural life of the people, improving national pride and enhancing national cohesion.
