On December 28, 2024, in Jiangsu, located in eastern China, a video captured a mesmerizing display of traditional "da tie hua," a centuries-old Chinese folk art.

In the darkness, a man dressed in black climbed a ladder at a construction site. Using a tool coated with a flammable substance, he created dazzling sparks by spinning the tool, producing a scene resembling a shower of fireworks.

"Da tie hua" dates back over a thousand years to the Spring and Autumn Period. Traditionally, this art form is performed during celebrations such as business openings, academic achievements, birthdays, and weddings to convey blessings and joy.
