Da Shuhua Festival of Lights
Da Shuhua is a 500 year old tradition practiced in Nuanquan Zhen on the border between Shanxi and Hebei provinces during the Lantern festival. Villagers perform the festival of lights, Da Shuhua for three days to celebrate the harvest and pray for good weather the following year. They throw molten iron onto the cold brick of the city gate which creates sparks that burst into the sky. The artists, who are now the 13th generation of practitioners of the festival, dress in sheep fur and straw hats and use handmade wooden ladles to splash the hot metal onto the wall. This unique folk festival happens only once a year and only in Nuanquan Zhen.
Art Performer Conducts Dashuhua Performance to Celebrate New Year in North China
Sparks poured down as a folk art performer sprayed molten iron against a cold wall during a performance of dashuhua recently in Yuxian County, north China's Hebei province to celebrate the new year.
The traditional performance dashuhua also kown as Sparkling Molten Metal has a history of over 500 years in Nuanquan Ancient Town of Yuxian County, and it has been listed as a provincial intangible cultural heritage in Hebei Province.
Only molten iron which gives out red light is used in the performance in the beginning. Later, molten bronze and aluminum are added to give out green and white lights respectively, which makes the sparkling molten metal look far more colorful and splendid than fireworks.
I'm really excited to watch this traditional cultural performance today. It makes me feel that the historical legacy is quite awesome, said an audience.
Nowadays, the dashuhua is performed at weekends and during the Chinese New Year.

Molten Iron Performance Celebrates Lunar New Year in north China
Local folk artists captivated audiences with an extravagant display of molten iron splashing in the air Friday night in north China's Hebei Province to celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival.
Molten iron splashing in the air to create a unique light display is a unique folk art known as Dashuhua. It was staged in the town of Nuquanin in Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City.
The town has a history of over 500 years in Dashuhua performances during the Lunar New Year.
Performers threw over 1,000 degree of molten iron onto the cold brick wall to create a breathtaking firework-like display to usher in the new year and to extend wishes for success.
Apart from the local audience, the performance also attracted visitors from Beijing, Tianjin and from the neighboring Shanxi Province.
We came to watch the Dashuhua performance on Chinese New Year's Eve. It is astonishing and brings out new perceptions for bettering our lives, said an audience member.
Before the molten iron was ready to be displayed, various performances set the mood with lantern dancing, folk dancing and other traditional cultural performances.

Fujian Yu Family Boxing
Yú Jiā Quán, Yu Family Boxing
Da Shou Quan Big Hand Boxing demonstrated by Jiang Peiqing, Da Gou Quan (Dog Beating Boxing) demonstrated by Jiang Peixin
Pucheng county Yu Jia Quan is said to have been passed down from General Yu DaYou.
According to tradition a number of relatives and descendants of Yu Dayou moved south from Shandong and settled in the Pucheng county area of Fujian's Nanping prefecture.
There they passed down methods of boxing, which they claim descended from the teachings of Yu Dayou, to the Jiang clan of Yanling village.
Yu Jia Quan consists of a number of boxing methods, weapons skills including several rare weapons, and a number of staff fighting sets (the weapon which Yu Dayou was most famous for).
For the past 300 years the Jiang clan has passed down these methods, which were traditionally practiced by all the people of the village (like many small rural Chinese villages Yanling village is made up completely of members of the same extended family).
17th generation Yu Jia Quan master Jiang Peiqing is still teaching this art today at age 85 and with his main disciple Jiang XianKun age 67, has started to openly teach the Children of the area and has organized a Yue Jia Quan Lion Dance troop.
The Lion dance troop consist of over 20 people, along with boxing demonstrations they also have the Lion dance with the Smiling Monk and Monkey King characters after which they demonstrate the famous Yu Jia Quan staff methods.
Yu Dayou is famous in the martial arts world for his efforts to rid the southern coast of Japanese pirates. As part of these efforts he helped to train local militias and soldiers in effective combat methods. During his life he wrote several treatises on military skills and strategies, however the Jian Jing Sword Classic treatise is by far the most famous. It describes the necessary skills and methods of martial training as well as showing the staff methods devised by general Yu.
Before his famous military campaigns he had spent many years studying martial arts at the Shaolin monastery in Henan. Among his skills he was best known for his staff methods and later returned to Shaolin to pass on what he felt was the true essence of Shaolin staff that had become lost over time.

Dazzling display of molten iron for new year celebrations
(31 Jan 2017) LEADIN:
?A dazzling display of sparkling molten iron is accompanying new year celebrations in northeast China.
?'Da Shuhua' - as it's known - is a traditional Chinese folk event which sees death-defying performers hurling molten hot iron to create spark-like fireworks.
?STORYLINE:??With the deft hand of an old craftsman, Li Qingfa is practicing picking up molten iron with a wooden spoon in his left hand, while the right one kicks it up in the air. ??Li is rehearsing for this evening's show, when he and around 20 other performers will throw about a ton of bright molten iron against a tall wet wall. ??The tradition of iron fireworks, a local custom in steel-producing regions of northeast China, dates back to around 500 years ago.
?The folk art has been passed from generation to generation, and today, a number of companies located in the countryside around Beijing offer performances several times a week.
?It gets particularly popular around Chinese New Year.
?It is quite dangerous when preparing and making the molten iron fireworks, says Li.
?Both experienced and young craftsmen alike bear this in mind. Because it is dangerous, the performers may easily get hurt and scalded. So good protection is a must.
?First, scrap iron is broken down into several pieces. Around 30 minutes before the show, a big forge is turned on.
The iron is then placed inside and a performer checks the texture and temperature as molten iron slowly drips out.
?It's a delicate balance to achieve the right temperature. It must been between 1,600 and 1,700 Celsius.
?If the molten iron is prepared too early, the iron will cool. But if made too late, the temperature won't be high enough before the show begins. ??Later, as audience members stream into the Great-Wall shaped amphitheatre, Li and his team busily prepare backstage.
?In the changing room, around 15 men of all ages - all locals - don protective clothing and exchange jokes.
?Li says every part of the body, including the hands and feet, must be protected from the shower of molten iron sparks which can burn through clothes.
?We wear pure cotton and shoes made of cow skin. We wear a protective, sleeveless jacket made of goatskin. On the head, we wear a helmet made of cow skin to protect the head and the face, he says.
?Every part of the body must be carefully protected, including the hands and the feet. Without good protection, the performer can get hurt, including the eyes.
?The dazzling light show lasts around one hour, songs and dances are spaced between the iron performers' five-part tour de force.
?The third part features a tree; the molten iron is projected onto its branches and bright yellow sparkles trickle down to the ground.
?The finale features four performers throwing molten iron against a giant wall. Each performer throws for around a minute and then another runs from backstage to take over.
?Yang Ping, an architect from Beijing, drove all the way from Beijing with her husband and son to catch the show.
?Every place welcomes the Lunar New Year in a different way and so the folk traditions are not quite all the same, she says.
?It has to do with the local weather and folk culture. Iron fireworks may be part of the local customs in northern China. We had never watched it before, so we came tonight. ??Li Qingfa says it's quite a strenuous job. Every day, the team must practice their moves and also clean the machinery needed to produce the molten fireworks.
?But it's all worth it. ??I have fallen in love with it, he says.
?As the saying goes: We iron-firework performers get excited at the sight of liquid iron. We are happy. When we are making iron fireworks on stage, we get really, really happy. So exciting!
