With thousands years’ history, Chinese Acrobatics is one of the oldest performing arts in China. There is no language barrier and cultural border.

It started from Warring States Period (475 BC-221 BC). Originally acrobatics came out peoples movements for performing rigorous labor and also their self-defence skills. It is believed that the early performance is "walking on three-meter-high stilts while juggling seven gaggers". Then it developed into an entire art form. It used to be popular in royal palace from 2nd century to 8th century. Yet it is spreading as a more folk public art. There are a lot of places called for “home of acrobatic” since those places have the tradition to exercise the acrobatic. Wuqiao is the most representative one, locating in Hebei province and 350 kilometers’ south to Beijing.

Nowadays, as a classical modern Chinese folk art, audience could enjoy the fantastic performance mixed with body skills and stage art.
