Innovation
Fireworks are being made by "Liuyang"
Transformation to "Liuyang Smart Building"
Fire trees and silver flowers never night, thousands of lights and laughter spread.
With the appearance of a gorgeous "fairy stick" holding fireworks, the host Long Yang was the first to be attracted. This way of "fighting fireworks" immediately filled the atmosphere.
"World fireworks look at China, Chinese fireworks look at Liuyang." As a shining business card showing the charm of Chinese traditional culture, the beautiful and colorful Liuyang fireworks have shown their elegant demeanor on many important occasions such as the National Day ceremony, the Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games, interpreting the reputation of "Liuyang fireworks" perfectly.
"Started in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty." Fireworks have a history of more than a thousand years in Liuyang, and their production skills have been handed down from generation to generation. With the development of modern science and technology, Liuyang fireworks industry has realized the "three revolutions" of materials, technology and environmental protection ".
At the scene, Zhong Juan, the innovation promoter of Liuyang fireworks and general manager of Dongxin fireworks group, led the host and guests to the fireworks test site. Guest Shan Jixiang was very curious about how to test fireworks. Seeing this, Zhong Juan became a commentator and explained that the production principle of low-temperature fireworks is made by mixing metal powders with extremely low ignition point according to a certain proportion: "The average ignition point of fireworks is 800 ℃-1200 ℃, and the temperature at the outlet of low-temperature fireworks can reach 600 ℃-800 ℃, it uses a certain aerodynamic effect to make the gunpowder in the fireworks burn relatively slowly, producing a large amount of gas to quickly dissipate heat, and the outside of the low-temperature fireworks is only 30 ℃ to 50 ℃... It is characterized by smaller smoke and more environmentally friendly."
Listening to Zhong Juan's introduction, the host Long Yang was very surprised, while Shan Jixiang and Du Jiang said they wanted to feel it with their own hands. As the spark of silver ignited, the two men were excited like children. In order to make the three feel more intuitive, Zhong Juan took them to the display stand to learn about the characteristics of several metal powders used to make fireworks, and conducted experiments on the spot.
"At that time, I was there to celebrate the centennial ceremony of the founding of the party, the great journey. I will never forget the 100000 fireworks (the shock)." Everyone is very interested in how fireworks are made, and Long Yang is still very excited in retrospect. When Shan Jixiang knew that these fireworks were all from Liuyang, he could not help nodding frequently. As the former director of the Palace Museum, he casually mentioned the epic about fireworks in a book at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he felt incredible. Under the demonstration of the technician, he watched the fireworks "dance" with the music and was amazed.
"With the progress of the times, people's requirements for the quality of life and the ecological environment are getting higher and higher, so that the ancient fireworks industry is once again rejuvenated. Liuyang has done it-that is, to take the road of safety and environmental protection. At present, fireworks enterprises have obtained more than 1,000 national patents on fireworks, raw materials, fireworks production machinery and fireworks technology, and the variety of Liuyang fireworks has also increased from more than 2000 to more than 3000. Through cooperation with some domestic universities and scientific research institutes, Liuyang fireworks have now developed a number of environmental protection and safety fireworks with high scientific and technological content, such as high altitude, orientation, positioning, smokeless, sunscape, cold light, etc, emerging consumer groups that attract fireworks......"
As a new generation of fireworks, Zhong Juan said: in Liuyang, managers from the government to the society, from enterprises to fireworks industry are constantly exploring, and gradually formed a road of scientific and technological innovation of Liuyang fireworks, which is "led by the government, guaranteed by the technical strength of colleges and universities, and taking enterprises as the main body", so as to promote the transformation of fireworks from "made in Liuyang" to "intelligent manufacturing in Liuyang.
Inheritance
intangible cultural heritage empowerment
Liuyang fireworks seamless docking cultural travel new life
From gunpowder to fireworks, and then to fireworks full of science and technology, all the beauty is inseparable from innovation, let alone inheritance. From the full screen of admiration, the host and guests met Zhong Ziqi, the national inheritor of Liuyang fireworks making skills. Perhaps because of their similar ages, Shan Jixiang and Zhong Ziqi soon found a common topic-the scene of fireworks during the New Year when they were children. At the scene, Zhong Ziqi also invited the host and guests to experience the "continuous introduction" process in a fireworks production technique.
From the single kick, the monkey to the endless variety of fireworks, Zhong Ziqi, who has been dealing with fireworks all his life, has not only inherited the craftsmanship of his ancestors, but also become the docking of the traditional skills of fireworks and modern microelectronics technology.

In order to better inherit and develop the national intangible cultural heritage technique of fireworks and firecrackers, Zhong Ziqi actively led apprentices and passed on this "aerial painting" technique to the next generation.
Fireworks make stars, and all wishes are true. Speaking of Liuyang fireworks, a rich industry with nearly 300000 employees, with an annual output value of more than 300 billion, Zhong Ziqi's face was full of pride and pride. In recent years, Liuyang has accelerated the supply-side structural reform of the fireworks industry, effectively realized industrial transformation and upgrading, and promoted the transformation of the fireworks industry to standardization, specialization, life-oriented and intelligent.

Ancient fireworks is the crystallization of skills, modern fireworks is the collision of traditional technology and modern science and technology. While the audience felt the unique Huxiang culture watered by the three Hunan and four waters, and witnessed the inheritance, innovation and development of Hunan's intangible cultural heritage skills in the new era, the production skills of Liuyang fireworks are amazing. Under the empowerment of the times, the infinite charm of fireworks burst out is even more amazing, which makes every Liuyang person feel very proud.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Firecrackers and Fireworks Industry Development Center said: Fireworks and firecrackers, as a traditional cultural industry in Liuyang, are well-known at home and abroad. In recent years, Liuyang fireworks have helped to enhance the national cultural "soft power" and establish the image of "cultural power" by using the communication thinking and ideas in the new media era.
