What are the traditional acrobatics in China?

First of all, the top bowl

Top Bowl is a traditional acrobatic show in China. With a pile of porcelain bowls on his head, the actor performed tricks such as splitting, golden rooster independence, gold ingot separation and handstand. After 1950s, opponents' top bowls, soft waist top bowls, high ladder top bowls and four-person top bowls were developed.

In recent years, some difficult movements have been created, such as: the kidnapper holds the bowl handstand, kicks the bowl handstand and pulls the fork with one arm, probes into the sea handstand and turns the bowl with one arm, lifts the bowl with one foot and twists the column with an own goal, shoots the goose with one leg standing, pulls the onion with one hand in dry land, lifts the bowl with two tips and rolls the top with three tips.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago in the Han Dynasty, China had a top bowl performance. On the Shi Zhuan unearthed from the Han Tomb in Nanyang, Henan Province, there is a vivid image of "the top bowl stands upside down with one hand".

In the form of performance, the top bowl is divided into two types: single performance and multi-person (double or three) performance. The three-person top bowl performed by Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe is quite innovative. They used an "A"-shaped ladder to connect three people to top the bowl, showing the movements of various opponents to top the bowl on the top of the high ladder. Especially when completing the difficult skill of three people folding the top bowl and crossing the ladder, the top actors are more than six meters from the ground. She stood upside down with a pile of porcelain bowls on her head and the shoulders of the middle actor in her hands. The actor in the middle also put the porcelain bowl on his head and buckled the base actor's head upside down with his hand. The base actors not only have to bear the weight of the two actors overhead, but also coordinate the center of gravity of the three people and climb up and down the ladder, which is very thrilling.

Second, Jiu Jitsu.

Jiu Jitsu is a wonderful flower with a long history of the Chinese nation. It was formally formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, matured in the Sui Dynasty, entered the court in the Tang Dynasty, and once flourished in the Han Dynasty. After the founding of New China, Premier Zhou Enlai officially named it Acrobatic Jiu Jitsu. Like China's drama art, she has many schools, varieties and profound national culture.
