In ancient times, Shangqiu, Henan Province was a forest. Suiren, who lives in the forest, often preys on wild animals. When rocks that hit wild animals collide with rocks, they often produce sparks.

Inspired by this, Suiren hit a stone with a stone, lit the tinder with the generated sparks, and made a fire. This fire-making method was still used in Shangqiu countryside thirty years ago. At that time, a saint was inspired by the sparks generated by birds pecking at wood, so he broke off the branches of wood and drilled wood to make a fire.

He taught people this method. Since then, human beings have learned to make artificial fire, bake food, light it, keep warm, and smell it with fire, and human life has entered a new stage. People call this saint the Suiren surname, and call him "the head of Huang San".

1, which meets the audience's interest points. As for the theory of "drilling the fire", because it is limited to the expression of words, the audience has great obstacles to understand-how to implement the theory of "drilling the fire"? This has always been a question that most tourists and even many cultural workers are puzzled and most interested in.

2. Make up for the lack of presentation and explanation. At Banpo site, a large number of unearthed and excavated pottery kiln sites, stove pits sites and public stove sites convinced the audience that "Banpo people have widely used fire in their production and life".

Every time an audience asks a question about "fire-making technology", the commentator answers it according to ethnological materials such as "knocking stones to make fire" and "sawing bamboo to make fire", or answers it with "hand drill", "rope drill" and "bow drill". These sound impeccable answers can't completely dispel people's doubts.

3. Improve the content of prehistoric experimental archaeology. As far as we know, the experimental archaeological data related to drilling wood for fire have not been reported so far. Therefore, this important production technology in prehistoric times is worth studying by businessmen. Similarly, this important production technology, which led prehistoric humans to progress, is worth experiencing again today.
