What is the principle of beating iron flowers?

The mechanism of playing iron flower is that metal composite materials have the characteristics of fast heat conduction, fast heat conduction, fast cooling and fast cooling in air. Performers use this feature to blow high-temperature molten steel into the air, and then it will be quickly transformed into crushed fine particles. In the floating or floating stage, this small particle is like the flame falling from arc laser welding, and it is not easy to burn people.

While the iron is hot, flowers are mostly performed in winter, because the temperature in winter is low, and the opened wrought iron accessories can quickly cool down, which is safer for performers. The performer who plays Tie Hua tries to hold two Hua Gun's and beat them hard, so that the high-temperature molten steel in Hua Gun can hit the sky directly.

Hot molten steel crashed into a "flower shed" full of fresh willow branches, but Taurus was everywhere. Only a higher and more dispersed beating can make molten steel scatter in the air like a fairy, and turn into tiny iron needles to ignite, cool and land in the air, thus avoiding the staff from being burned.

Iron flower (intangible cultural heritage)

Tietiehua, a traditional folk fireworks spread in Henan and Jin regions, is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Tiehua is a large-scale traditional folk fireworks, which is a folk cultural performance skill discovered by ancient craftsmen in China during the process of casting utensils. It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of more than 1000 years. While the iron is hot, flowers are mostly spread in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, especially in Henan and Shanxi.

Kaifeng Tiehua is also known as the top ten folk arts in the Yellow River Basin. During the performance, while the iron was hot, a six-meter-high double-decker flower shed was set up in an open space, covered with fresh willow branches, full of fireworks and firecrackers, and loaded with goods. An old pole six meters high was erected in the middle of the shed, making the total height of the shed more than ten meters.

There is a melting furnace next to it to melt iron juice. More than a dozen performers used Hua Gun to beat more than 1,000 pieces of iron juice at high temperature on the shed in turn, forming a dozen meters high iron flower. Fireworks and firecrackers are lit by iron flowers, and the performance of "Dragon Wearing Flowers" is spectacular, showing thrilling festive characteristics.
