Ever seen fireworks made from molten iron? 🔥 Well, that's exactly what happened in Chongqing, China! Blacksmiths took center stage, spraying arcs of glowing molten iron into the night sky, creating a dazzling display that wowed everyone watching. ✨
This ancient folk art is called \"Dashuhua\" or \"Datiehua,\" which means \"striking tree flowers\" or \"striking iron flowers\" in Chinese. 🌸 Back in the day, blacksmiths were inspired by the sparks from their forges and started tossing molten iron against walls during festivals for fun. Talk about playing with fire! 😲
Today, this hot tradition is still going strong and has even been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage in China. It's not just a show; it's a fiery celebration of history and art that keeps the crowd fired up! 🎆
