It began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of more than 1000 years. During the performance of Queshan iron flower, a double-layer flower shed with a height of six meters was built in an open space. The shed was densely covered with fresh willows, and was covered with fireworks, firecrackers and cargo. In the middle of the shed, an old pole with a height of six meters is erected to make the total height of the flower shed more than ten meters. Next to it, there is a melting pot of iron juice.
