Teachers and students enjoyed the light and shadow performances of the lake and land from multiple angles, and felt the unique charm of the Bugu Lake Scenic Spot.

Amidst the light and shadow, performers of striking iron flowers appeared, waving special iron rods to create dazzling sparks that resemble firework, leaving audiences in awe. Every strike was accompanied by the cheers of the audience, and the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to a climax again and again. The performers stroke the high-temperature molten iron into the air, instantly presenting a variety of gorgeous patterns that are breathtakingly beautiful, such as blooming peonies, splashing waterfalls, and gorgeous meteors. The performance of striking iron flowers not only allowed everyone to enjoy the charm of traditional Chinese art, but also gave new vitality to the intangible cultural heritage on campus.
