Characteristics of acrobatics:

Paying special attention to the training of waist and leg jacking is a major feature of China acrobatics. Acrobatics has attached great importance to top achievements in China since ancient times. There are many figures holding somersaults in stone reliefs, murals and pottery figurines in the Han Dynasty.

Acrobatics artists in China, even those who perform ancient tricks, should have a solid foundation in kung fu, which means "martial arts". Without solid kung fu, you have to put hundreds of pounds of props on your coat, and you have to take it easy. It is impossible to turn somersaults into fire and water.

It is also a feature of China's acrobatics to strive for stability in danger and quietness in action, showing calm, ingenious and accurate skills and efforts.

For example, all kinds of thrilling performances in "tightrope walking" require "stability"; "Shake the board" and "shake the ladder", etc., and add stools to the stools to make people fold up, but the people above must seek peace on the basis of turmoil.

This requires a very calm mind, superb skills and painstaking training, which shows the control of potential energy and balance and shows the transcendence of human beings in overcoming obstacles.
