Details
The acrobatic art is a significant component of Chinese traditional culture and it is an embodiment of Chinese people's wisdom. The evolution of Chinese acrobatics speaks a lot of Chinese history as it witnesses the ups and downs the Chinese nation has undergone.

From the very beginning the emergence of "the boomerang" gave the promise that the acrobatic art was to flourish in China since it was in tune with the general public's interest for its vividness as well as plainness.

Chinese acrobatic art presents amazing vitality in the tortuous and arduous journey it has covered. That the acrobatics survive despite the social turmoil and the suppression by the authorities is credited to the acrobatic artists who devote their lives to the acrobatics with little concern for fame or gain.
The acrobatic art, a glamorous gem of the Chinese traditional culture, is bound to enjoy ongoing progress and lasing prosperity.
