Ever wondered what goes into the dazzling bursts of color lighting up a festival night? 🎆 In Liuyang City of Hunan Province in the Chinese mainland, fireworks are more than entertainment—they’re a living art form with a history of over 1,000 years.
This year, the documentary Poet of the Sky: The Liuyang Fireworks Art takes us on a journey through this spectacular tradition. It spotlights two visionaries who bridge ancient ritual and cutting-edge tech.
Zhong Ziqi is a national inheritor of Liuyang fireworks. For decades, he has fine-tuned age-old formulas, blending them with modern processes. His experiments make each explosion safer, more precise, and even eco-friendlier, proving that tradition can evolve. 🌱
Huang Cheng views the night sky as his canvas. As a pioneering show director, he fuses fireworks with drones, digital programming, and contemporary performance design. The result? Immersive sky stories that spark the imagination. 🚀✨
Together, Zhong and Huang show how Liuyang fireworks continue to illuminate our skies—keeping an ancient craft alive while pushing the boundaries of innovation. Whether you’re a culture buff, a tech lover, or just love a good light show, this tale of craftsmanship and creativity is sure to inspire. 💡
