Making Fireworks for the Chinese New Year | National Geographic

I’m good till two seconds before I hit
the button all the Adrenaline’s pumping
and he’s won two started as soon as you
eat the first button I’m flying get
turned back now it’s gotta go the
Chinese doing is wrong moist
we’re warding off the evil spirit for
this year we’re gonna give them
firecrackers loud cakes candles and to
set pieces one’s a horse and the other
one I believe it’s just Happy New Year
for in the years a horse is energized
traditional the Firecracker is to
welcome the nail and to chase away the
evil from pass if fun firecrackers fun
and everyone enjoy it because the syle
is the spirit so nowadays it’s more the
spirit side in stuff the superstitious
side you make a set-piece first you
start out with a frame and then you get
luan you bend it to whatever shape you
want became just do a regular horse
because it looks stupid you let your
imagination go you know then we get a
little Brad nails a butt of a hammer and
we pan them on into the outline we
cuddle the tops of the nails off and
then we stick these things that look
like little cigarettes we put glue on
them and we stick them on top of the
nails and then on the top of the Lance
there’s a little black powder and then
we put the match on top of this looks
like packing tape but it didn’t line of
black powder on it
I put an electric match on the end for
just to be safe so I plug it into the
module during the show we’ll shoot it
this is the boring part as far as I’m
concerned
you hang up an airplane cable between
two trees and we put the belts and in
the middle the picture of the horse and
above the horse is gonna be the set
piece we made behind that debris leg the
candles in the case everything has to be
golden already believe gold is wealth so
Chinese always wear
like Becky whose black powder some
people put German aluminum in it that’ll
give it the bang every chefs got a
different recipe yeah it’s all here me
you make it one guy one day and I he
feels good to put all the lecture in it
make it a guy one day what was right
I’ll put a little less if I watch it
faster I shoulda faster if they’re
little tamer
we’ll start off slow and then I think
and we’ll let it rip in the crowd really
get into it the best is the song they
went to shoot off the firework after the
small firecracker go off the volkl prom
I got that is a beautiful sound and now
because the new technology the noise
maker is sure up to the sky very nice
now noise and you just feel any title
feel good
