Chinese Acrobatics


Introduction of Chinese Acrobatics

Chinese Acrobatics is one of the oldest performing arts, dating back of between 475-221BC. Chinese acrobatics can be called a national art. It is one of the art forms most popular among the Chinese people. In the past twenty some years, some acrobats in China have taken this folk art to a new height. The children, aged 6 to 15, have started their career here and will entertain the whole nation and the world over when they are mature in skills.

Despite the popularity of Chinese acrobatics in old days, it was never performed in theatres because it was looked down upon by the feudal class. However, in 1949 the people's government began developing national arts, and acrobatics gained a new life.

History of Chinese Acrobatic
As early as the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), there appeared rudiments of acrobatics. By the time of the Han Dynasty (221 BC-220 AD), the acrobatic art or "Hundred Plays" further developed both in contents and varieties. There were superb performances with music accompaniment on the acrobatic stage about two thousand years ago.

In the Tang Dynasty, the number of acrobats greatly increased and their performing skills much improved. Progress in Chinese acrobatics was very great during the Tang Dynasty, between the 7th and 10th centuries, when performances were often held at the imperial court, a tang mural in the Dunhuang Grottoes, An outing by the lady of Song, shows acrobatics, dancing, singing, and horsemanship.
