Smelting iron

The ancestral stunt of Zhou family in Huduo. Beginning in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, "Zhou's iron smelting" was famous in all directions. Zhou Dezhu's craft is the most skillful in the incense burner cast with pig iron. The incense burner is more than 3 meters high, with a square bottom, lotus petals and feet, and a five-story pagoda shape. The lower belly is two dragons playing with beads, and the four corners of the upper four floors are four dragons with beads. The bell is hung upside down on the lower jaw, and then the lion climbs upside down, and the top is a lion-topped gourd. Three arrows are inserted into the gourd, and the vivid "Eight Immortals of Flood and Drought" and "Figure of Three Kingdoms" are cast in the middle. Incense is lit in the furnace, and smoke is emitted from the lion's mouth and sixteen dragon's mouths at the top, while the dragon body wags its head and tail with the curling smoke.
