Huohu (fire pot) performances are a captivating fusion of flame manipulation and artistry. Dressed in fireproof suits, performers shake glowing red-hot charcoal inside iron nets, creating a breathtaking display of "blossoming sparks" that symbolize the desire to ward off evil and ensure peace for the community.
Recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage, these performances incorporate elements of martial arts and acrobatics. Their origins date back to the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), when villagers performed fire dragon dances and sacrificed livestock to pray for safety during New Year celebrations. Over time, this tradition evolved into the dazzling fire pot performances seen today.
