What is a national intangible cultural heritage flower?

The national intangible cultural heritage flower blooms while the iron is hot.

Tietiehua, a traditional folk fireworks spread in Henan and Jin regions, is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. It is a large-scale traditional folk fireworks, and it is a folk cultural performance skill discovered by China ancient craftsmen in the process of casting utensils. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, especially in Henan and Shanxi.

It is necessary to set up a six-meter-high double-layer flower shed on the open space, which is densely covered with fresh willow branches and fireworks. In June, 2008, the Tietiehua declared by Queshan County was approved by the State Council to be included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, with the heritage number ⅹ-88. 20 19, 1 1, the list of representative projects of national intangible cultural heritage was published, and Queshan County Cultural Center obtained the qualification of "Tietiehua" project protection unit.

The performance content of Tiehua

Before the Tiehua performance, a two-story octagonal shed with a height of more than ten feet should be set up in the middle of a wide square. The first floor is 4 meters high and the second floor is 1.5 meters high, which is called "flower shed". When the iron flower is struck, the flower-striking person wears an upside-down ladle (for protection), is topless, holds an upper stick with iron juice in one hand and a lower stick without iron juice in the other, and quickly runs to the flower shed and slams the upper stick with the lower stick. A dozen florists are between the stove and the greenhouse, from one stick to another, from one person to another.

One iron flower rises into the sky, and one after another, one after another, one after another, in an endless stream. The iron juice in the stick rushed into the flower shed, and when it met the willow branches at the top of the shed, it dispersed and ignited the firecrackers and fireworks on the flower shed. Iron flowers splash, meteors are like waterfalls, firecrackers are ringing, and the sound shakes the sky. A better florist can hit an old pole with a stick and light the fireworks and whip at the top. This is called "winning the lottery".
