You might have seen firework displays, but you may not have seen this fascinating but dangerous show—fireworks made of molten iron （铁水）. 刷外刊 返回目录 6 In the night sky, streams of hot molten iron, reaching temperatures as high as 1,600 degrees， rise into the air, like the bright shower of stars. In the middle of male artisans （工匠）, there is a young woman, striking a wooden stick to launch the molten iron high up into the sky. This remarkable performance is known as Datiehua. And the woman is Jiang Xunqian. Datiehua is an ancient Chinese folk art. It was developed and practised by ironsmiths at the beginning. Jiang specifically learnt Queshan Tiehua. It started during the Northern Song Dynasty and developed quickly during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In 2008, Queshan Tiehua was recognized as a form of national intangible cultural heritage. 刷外刊 返回目录 7 During a Datiehua performance, a group of six or seven people stand in line, continuously spraying molten iron for nearly 20 minutes. It's a hard task. As a newcomer, Jiang began her effort. After a few performances, Jiang discovered that she had injuries as well. “Some sparks landed on my clothes, causing painful burns,” she said. “Upon returning home, I also realized that I had lost several handfuls of hair.”▲ According to Jiang, even for experienced performers, such burns are quite common. But she remains saying， “I didn't think much about them before my performance. In my opinion, the most challenging thing of Datiehua is overcoming fear.” 刷外刊 返回目录 8 1.How does the writer like the show of Datiehua?( ) C A.Bright and high. B.Bright but short.
