China Beijing Chauyang Theater Acrobatics Macrocosm
|
|
Acrobatics, one of China's oldest art forms, originated during the New Stone Age (6,000 - 2,000 B.C.) as part of the games and ceremonies used in sacrificial offerings to ancestors. People living in the Yellow River area created art forms similar to modern acrobatics as early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (720 – 221 B.C.) Records about acrobatics can be found in books, murals, brick carvings and stone carvings of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. – 220 A.D.).
