It started in the Northern Song Dynasty. At first, it was just for workers’ ceremonies (典礼), but later it became a show that many people love, especially in places like Hebei, Henan and Shanxi. Now it appears everywhere in China. Before the big show, the “iron flower masters” prepare carefully. First, they have to find an open space. It must be far away from things that can easily catch fire and have fences around to keep everyone safe. When it’s dark, the show starts. The masters put the pig iron into the super hot pot. By pulling the bellows (风箱), the fire gets bigger and the pig iron melts (融化) fast. When it turns into bright red and hot liquid (液态的) iron, here comes the exciting part. One master scoops (迅速铲出) up a spoonful of the really hot liquid iron and throws it up high. At the same time, another master hits the flying liquid iron hard with a wooden board. Right away, the liquid iron bursts (爆发) open like beautiful fireworks. It can look like shooting stars or big flowers. People watching always get excited and cheer loudly. This Iron Flower Forging is not only an art form but also carries the working people’s hope for better lives. It’s a special thing that comes from their wisdom and courage (智慧与勇气). 35.
