Acrobatics is a traditional Chinese performance, and a huge challenge for the acrobats’ body. Acrobatics has a history of over 2500 years beginning in the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C. - 9 A.D.). It is said that Emperor Wu of the Western Dynasty was particularly fond of watching acrobatics. He entertained his foreign diplomats with an acrobatics show in his palace. Beijing is one of the places acrobatics is originated from. In old Beijing, Tian Qiao has been a long-standing spot for acrobats to perform. After the establishment of the new China, the team that had traditionally performed there began performing overseas, representing the Chinese acrobatics culture. After such a long development, Tianqiao acrobatics has evolved to meet the modern  aesthetic concept. In addition to the traditional Lion Dance, oral stunts, pagoda of bowls, juggling and wire walking, modern acrobatics shows have become more diversified with the development of modern technology. During the show audiences are often filled with apprehension and awe at the strength, confidence and courage of the acrobats. While after the show, the performers are much admired and respected. You should really see for yourself.
