The Chinese circus is a favorite form of art among the Asian people. It has a long history with a distinct national style, evolving from the Chinese peoples everyday life and working experience. Hence, the evolution to this edition of the IMPERIAL CIRCUS of CHINA.
The Chinese circus tradition finds its beginnings more than two thousand years ago in the period of the Warring States. Chinese artists, acrobats and contortionists are clearly recognized in ancient artifacts as early as the Qin and Han dynasties (221 B.C. - 220 A.D.). Historical records, ancient relics, relief carvings on tombs, stone and brick, murals in temples and grottoes and decorative patterns on utensils show the modern historian that for centuries audiences have been fascinated by the dazzling performances of Chinese artists, acrobatics and circus.
