Seven wonders? Beat the iron flower

Brilliant flowers are blooming in the night sky, and meteors are raining.

The iron soul has been handed down for thousands of years, and when it is red, it is turned into steel.

Playing iron flowers is a long-standing folk custom in my hometown. Every New Year, every village will carry out this activity.

Tiehua is a kind of traditional folk fireworks that spread in Henan and Jin regions, and its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its mining and ironmaking industries rose almost simultaneously with the smelting history of the Chinese nation. Rich coal and iron ore resources provide extremely convenient conditions for the development of smelting industry. It flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties and has a history of more than 1000 years.

Queshan Tiehua has profound cultural connotation. Moreover, this Millennium stunt originated from the Taoist culture of the old Leshan. It was an activity held by folk craftsmen and Taoists in the old Leshan to worship the Taoist ancestor, Grandfather Tai, and later evolved into a comprehensive traditional folk celebration ceremony.
