Throwing Molten Iron

During the Lantern Festival, Wang Fu performs a one-hour long "Beating Flowers in the Trees" celebration. Here's the formula for your own celebration.

1. Melt scrap iron in a furnace.
2. Put on animal skins and a hat.
3. Throw molten iron at the town wall for an hour.

The amazing "cheap fireworks" are spectacular!!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!
