"How romantic!" "There is a taste of the year!" Men, women and children, online and offline, greatly appreciated the performance.
Spoons of hot molten iron soared into the air under the impact of the inheritors of pig iron smelting and casting, and turned into pieces of iron flowers that bloomed in the wind in the night sky, soaring like a dragon, blooming like a goddess, and colorful. The citizens and netizens watching gave out a burst of amazement and played a wonderful movement of iron flowers, fire and rain to welcome the new year.
The big IP Xinzhou ancient city is out of the circle again! The iron flower is full of color, the fire dance is flying, and the drone lens shuttles through the iron flower, which is not only wonderful in form and content, but also visually impactful, and also tells the wonderful story of Xinzhou.
Tie Hua is an intangible cultural heritage with rich connotations in China’s traditional customs and folk arts. Spread in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan and Shandong, with a long history. According to legend, the earliest flower while the iron is hot was originally a ceremony held by an alchemist and five craftsmen of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin to jointly offer sacrifices to the grandfathers and grandfathers of Taishang Laojun every Spring Festival. The application of blacksmith flower flourished in the Song Dynasty, which made this activity more grand and spectacular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then evolved into a popular social fire activity among the people.
In addition to their hard work in iron smelting and casting, craftsmen have derived the activity of "beating iron flowers", which includes sacrifice, exorcism, blessing and entertainment. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a unique folk activity in various places over time. In addition to showing the style of the industry, pleasing the people and expanding the influence, the activity of beating iron flowers mainly uses the homonym of "flower" and "hair" to take the meaning of "beating flowers and beating flowers more and more", which symbolizes the prosperity of the cause.
The silver flowers of the fire tree are unpredictable, and the pearls are scattered in vain. Come to the ancient city of Xinzhou, watch Tiehua in spring, have a good time dancing, and have a happy, complete and happy China Year here.
