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 Iron Flower Exhibition, a six-meter-high double-layer flower shed was set up in an open space, covered with fresh willow branches, covered with 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.
