If you can't afford fireworks

Just splash hot molten metal against a wall:



A hot and dangerous celebration at China's traditional Lantern Festival, as metal scraps are heated to 1,300 degrees centigrade, splashing sparks during the night of China's full moon. Less expensive than fireworks, "Dashuhua" is a tradition at risk, as none of the younger generation are yet able to perform the art.
