VOICED : China ends Lunar New Year

The video explores an ancient Chinese tradition where molten metal is hurled at walls to create a fiery display, marking the end of the New Year festivities. Originating from a time when fireworks were unaffordable, this practice was revived after being banned during the Cultural Revolution. Now, it serves as a cultural attraction, drawing visitors and providing income for rural communities. Unique to You County, the tradition uses 1600-degree molten metal and wooden spoons to create sparks. The Lantern Festival concludes the New Year celebrations, offering farmers a final break before returning to their fields.
