打鐵花 (da2tie3hua1; struck iron fireworks) is a traditional folk firework that began in Henan and Shanxi, first arising in Queshan county, Henan and later circulating through the whole country. It had first appeared during the Northern Song dynasty, and was most popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

For Queshan struck iron fireworks, a two-layer pergola is built and covered with willow branches for performances, under which the molten iron is struck up with two willow sticks to create a rain of fire.

(On top of the information in the video, I have some more about its recent history under the cut.)

*Also, a note about one of the subtitles: I realized later that "going into battle without a shield" actually just meant going shirtless. I was only confused about this phrasing while translating because she didn't go shirtless, although that is for obvious reasons

Queshan struck iron fireworks had almost been lost before Yang Jianjun unearthed it again in 1988. It had almost died out in the early years of the Republic of China being established, after which there had only been three performances until 1988: 1952, 1956, 1962. Yang Jianjun had seen the 1956 performance as a 7-8 year old and later on as the director of a cultural centre, began digging up the skill and its history. In the process, he became an apprentice to Li Wanfa, who had been the last head of the Queshan Struck Iron Fireworks Society. He practised with sand and water, learning of its historical origin, its ancestral inheritors, craftsmanship and performance arts, but didn't touch the real thing until 1988. Through Yang Jianjun's efforts and investment, the first struck iron fireworks performance in more than 25 years took place in Nanshan Square (then a deserted area) in Queshan county.

Queshan struck iron fireworks are different from other struck iron fireworks in that it requires a wide area to perform, whereas others only needed a wall or could be hit straight up into the air, and it costs much more money to set up.

The names of inheritors are difficult to trace, and can only be traced back to the Qing dynasty during the Qianlong period, making Yang Jianjun a sixth-generation inheritor, and Jiang Xunqian (OP) the first woman and a seventh-generation inheritor.

営業中。ハチワレ招き猫。

お顔を眺めるのもいいけれど、横からも背中からも、どこから見ても華のある姿。

当店、招き猫は何匹も店内におりまして「みなさん、今日も力一杯お招きよろしく」と開店時に話し掛けておりますが、猫は気まぐれ、呼んだり呼ばなかったり（ワハハ

今日、最近読んだ猫に関連した記事で、遺伝子研究の結果、猫は甘味を感じる遺伝子が無いと分かったとのこと。

猫は、旨味を感じる遺伝子があるので、旨味成分が多いと食いつきがよいのではないかとあり、自宅で飼っていた猫達は、確かに甘いから好きという行動は無かったなと振り返る。

動物の味覚については、言語が通じないからどこをどう美味しいと感じているのか、まだ研究途中だそうです。

その記事中に、犬は甘味も旨味もどちらも遺伝子があると書かれており、そういえば、人が食べるものを欲しがるのは犬の方がよく聞く話だなと納得しました。

友達の犬は、そんな訳で、丸々と太っております（笑

A Queshan struck iron firework (打铁花; da2tie3hua1) performance to welcome the Year of the Dragon. Queshan struck iron fireworks differ from other iron fireworks due to the two-layered pergola and space required. This particular performance also features dragon dancing.

Please see my post here (my pinned post) for the full journey of how OP learned to strike iron fireworks as well as some other information and details about the art. (This is the video OP is referring to at the beginning of the video.)

*Before the countdown, OP is quoting the poem 青玉案·元夕 by 辛弃疾.

With [确山]打铁花 (da2tie3hua1; [Queshan] struck iron fireworks), a rain of fire is created by striking molten iron into a willow branch pergola using two willow sticks (See my post about this here).

Sparks are created with 火壶 (huo3hu2) by placing burning charcoal into wire mesh onto the two sides of a bar and shaking it.
