Ancient Chinese hammers as acrobatics are

As acrobatics is the hammer and gong performance.

It is a traditional form of Chinese acrobatic performance in which a single performer uses two hammers to strike two suspended gongs at the same time to produce a continuous rhythmic and musical effect.

The hammer gong performance originated in ancient China and is considered one of the most important forms of Chinese acrobatics. The performers are usually professional acrobats who have undergone long training and are required to have excellent physical coordination, hand-eye coordination and a sense of rhythm. During the performance, they will lightly hit the gong surface with a hammer to produce different acoustic effects through different strengths and frequencies, thus creating melodies and rhythms.

The hammer gong performance not only requires performers to have flexible hand skills, but also requires them to have a high sense of rhythm and music. They need to accurately master the strength and timing of each strike to maintain a steady and smooth rhythm throughout the performance. Performers often incorporate body movements such as spins, jumps, and turns to add to the artistic effect and spectacle of the performance.
