Molten Iron Fireworks

In the small Chinese village of Nuanquan, they make fireworks displays by throwing molten iron against the wall, creating bright showers of sparks. They’ve been celebrating holidays this way, called Da Shuhua, for 500 years. The district’s iron-workers, once too poor to afford conventional fireworks, developed the tradition.

“Firework,” written by Katy Perry, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, and Ester Dean, performed by Katy Perry on the National Mall, Washigton DC, celebrating the inauguration of Joseph Biden as 46th president of the United States.
