On October 2, 2024, @ClassmateWu shared a video from Xiaoyi, Shanxi Province, China, featuring a traditional fire pot performance. Originating from Hutian Town in Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, the performance involves skilled performers placing burning charcoal in iron nets and shaking them to create a dramatic display of sparks, described as "fire trees and silver flowers." This custom began during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty as a ritual for peace, where fire symbolized warmth, hope, and the dispelling of evil, reflecting its deep cultural and historical significance in Chinese civilization.
