What is Dashuhua? Some kind of granular hot metal, spread with a slotted spoon? What?
This photo, the one here, that you can see in larger format by clicking to my Tribesite, appeared with no other description and no story attached, in the Monday, 2/11/06 Oregonian, page A8 of the World section. Credits are Chen Shugen/Associated Press. I can't find better prints or any further information. Got to know what this stuff is!
(No, it's not topnosis.)

Re: Dashuhua?
Sun, March 5, 2006 - 12:50 AMI checked on Google and kept getting the same definition:
A man performs Dashuhua, a traditional folk art with a history of some 300 years to celebrate the Lantern Festival, in Yuxian, a county in east China's Hebei Province, on Feb. 11, 2006. The performer wearing a sheepskin coat and a wet terai scoops out molten iron with a special wooden spoon and slosh it on the rampart, splashing colorful sparkles.
