A careful audience will find that the digital special-effect fireworks "70" representing the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China at the party became a "double line", which is much three-dimensional than the previous single line outline. Cai Guoqiang, the general director of the fireworks at
party, introduced that the fireworks design and production are of high technological content this time. The "70" blooms in a double-line shape. The art digital shape outlined by the double-line fireworks is thicker and more grand than the single-line fireworks, and it hits a height of 300 meters, which is the first to be innovative.

"Why is it difficult to make two-line digital special-effect fireworks? Because the fireworks launched into the air are rotating and the direction is extremely difficult. The letter shape blooms this time and may be the reversed 'W' next time; the digital shape blooms may be '5' or '2', so it is extremely difficult to orienteer, and requires superb production technology." Cai Guoqiang explained.
Peony is in full bloom, butterflies are flying, peacocks are spreading their tails... At the party, seven colorful and colorful firework trees are another highlight.
Cai Guoqiang introduced that the three-dimensional dynamic special effects firework tree is a technological breakthrough in firework performance. "Seven firework trees about 25 meters high and about 160 meters wide, variable and multihedral, symbolize the great achievements of lush and prosperous branches and thriving in the 70 years since the founding of New China, and also reflect the concept of ecological and environmental protection." Zhang Yimou, the general director of the party event, Cai Guoqiang, the general director of the fireworks, and Cai Guoqiang, and the working team, said that each tree has four leaves, which can rotate 360 degrees with the trunk, and each blade is equipped with different types of special-effect fireworks. The seven trees are ignited by rotating and combining the fireworks to form a series of fireworks. Sometimes they are equipped with LED lights to present the seasonal changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, sometimes they form the shape of peacock opening and closing, "peony opening and closing", "kite swaying", and "smiling face blooming", which increases the three-dimensional sense of fireworks performance. "The peony will open and close, and will change color... like an animation, it will lead the fireworks to a dynamic and three-dimensional direction," said Cai Guoqiang.
"This fireworks show has 6 major waves, focusing on environmental protection and effects." Cai Guoqiang introduced that special-effect fireworks are mainly produced in Hunan, Jiangxi, Hebei and other places. The fireworks are free of heavy metal substances and low sulfur, and are all high-tech environmentally friendly fireworks products.

Fireworks performance at the party reminds people of the "Olympic Footprints" in 2008. At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 29 big footprints bloomed in the night sky, and 15 kilometers walked from the Beijing central axis to the Olympic Sports Center, symbolizing the historical footprints of the 29th Olympic Games. In fact, Cai Guoqiang said that the idea of this work has existed since 1990, but it was not easy to realize it, and it was finally realized in the Olympics.
"Big footprints are actually very interesting, because they are another view of time and space for the world to see the Chinese."When interpreting the work, Cai Guoqiang emphasized the national culture, national elements, and the view of time and space, and the view of the universe. "Every country in the world wants to show its own country's culture and their very specific national elements for the Olympics. But do you see if you can show a view of time and space, a huge feeling of time and space, and there is a view of the universe in it. "
big footprints not only directly show China's going to the world, but also show that the world has finally come to China. Thousands of years of nations declare a new pattern to the world in the moment of history. "Sometimes, artists are like alchemists. There are so many materials in this world. It is not that easy to refine it at that time. "Cai Guoqiang said.
Cai Guoqiang has always been traveling between different cultures in the world with his original artistic expression techniques and unique philosophical thinking. From indoor and outdoor blasting plans that adapt to local conditions, such as the 2015 "Ladder" to solo exhibition projects of many international art galleries, including last year's National Pushkin, Prado Art Gallery , and the upcoming Uffizi Art Gallery project, his art amazed the world.
