Historical source

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 are reappeared as a skill performance of self-entertainment games during rest and entertainment, forming the earliest acrobatic art.

Acrobatics scholars believe that the earliest acrobatic program in China was 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.
