[Explanation] The Lantern Festival has passed, but the Chaoshan area is still "Chinese New Year".
Located in Dianzhan Village, Nanxi Town, Puning City, Guangdong Province, the volunteers looked more like "good people" and kept "adding oil and vinegar" to the fire. Their goal was to burn the fire to a person's height.

To burn until the fire is very strong, the grass must be burned to the height of a person.
[Explanation] This southern water town wants to burn the most prosperous fire to celebrate their festival.
Near the fire, the heat was unbearable, but people from the village were more enthusiastic than the fire. Many people had been waiting here.
Dianzhan Village's fire jumping has officially started.

[Explanation] Some young people in the village dance alone with flags in their hands, while others dance in groups of four, carrying statues of gods and jumping over three fires in a row.

(Have you ever skipped it before), we have skipped it for a few years, (did you be afraid when you danced before), don’t be afraid, because the Lord has blessed you.
[Explanation] The reporter saw that several teenagers wet their hair and face with water before jumping, that's all.
According to the old man in the village, everyone jumped over the fire horse when they were young, without any protective measures or special skills, just relying on courage.
The fire jumping horse means that those who can carry the gods and jump into the fire will get the love and blessing of the gods.
[Explanation] Dianzhan Village uses a fire dance as its business card, but this land also has a "Song of Water and Fire".
Nanxi Town, where Dianzhan Village is located, has been building a "water" economy in recent years.
After seeing the majestic and fiery jumping horses, boarding a flat boat, tourists can enjoy this southern water town full of streams and rivers.
According to reports, the rivers here used to be seriously polluted. After the waterways with a total length of more than 80 kilometers have been treated, villagers and tourists can now enjoy the beautiful picture of this new countryside with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
