Talk about your understanding of acrobatics.

Acrobatics, also known as "miscellaneous geisha". Refers to jujitsu (soft skills), car skills, mouth skills, top bowl, tightrope walking, juggling, lion dance and other skills. Modern acrobatics refers to a performance program in which actors perform a series of difficult movements with their own physical skills. The word "acrobatics" was named by Premier Zhou Enlai when China Acrobatic Troupe was founded.

Around the Neolithic Age, acrobatics had sprouted in China. The labor skills formed by primitive people in hunting, martial arts and extraordinary physical ability created in self-defense and attack and defense, as a skill performance reproduction of self-entertainment games during rest and entertainment, formed the earliest acrobatic art. Acrobatics scholars believe that the earliest acrobatic program in China is Flying Man. This is a cross-shaped hunting equipment made of hardwood fragments. Hunters of primitive tribes often use this rotating weapon to attack birds and animals. In the process of continuous throwing, they found that different crosses can "come and go" under the action of the wind, so they became the programs performed in the clan meeting of primitive tribes.

Many programs in acrobatic art are the refinement and artistry of life skills, labor skills and martial arts skills. So far, this program has been circulated in folk activities. At the annual Nadam Convention in Inner Mongolia grassland, there are "flying" competitions of horse racing, wrestling, gladiator and other skill competitions, which are based on the throwing distance and the accuracy of hitting the target. Acrobats "fly into the air" hunting skills for artistic processing, forming ingenious and magical art programs, which are still deeply loved by the audience in stage performances. Because acrobatic art comes from all kinds of colorful real life, "miscellaneous" has become its overall feature, so the name of "acrobatic" has been determined in the long river of history.
