 The Chinese Acrobatic Theater followed the same development pattern. Whereas European and American circuses were in a constant search for novelties and new techniques (driven in part by commercial needs, especially in the United States), Chinese acrobats limited their repertoire (although it came to include over two hundred different specialties&mdash;which is quite a number in any respect), but they constantly improved their presentation and increased the level of difficulty of the tricks involved, always striving to reach an elusive perfection.

 Historical records, carvings and mural paintings in tombs and grottos (such as the brick carvings discovered in the Han Dynasty tomb of Chengdu, in the Szechuan province) date the origins of Chinese Acrobatics more than two thousands years ago, during the Warring States period. They developed mostly during the Qin and Huan Dynasties (221 B.C.-230 A.D.) and reached a remarkable level of quality and refinement during the Western Huan Dynasty, evolving from a simple exhibition of skills into a performing art, with a rich and eclectic repertory including tumbling, balancing, plate spinning, pole balancing, rope dancing, etc. This acrobatic performance was known as ''The Show of One Hundred Skills''.

 The Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe, located in the old imperial capital of Nanjing (which was also the Capital of the Republic of China before the Communist revolution), was created in 1957. It quickly became a major acrobatic troupe, and toured extensively in Australia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. It was featured for the first time in a Western circus show with [[The Knie Dynasty|Circus Knie]], in Switzerland, in 1984. Its second association with a Western circus was in 1988-1989 with the [[Big Apple Circus]], which also marked its first appearance in the United States.

 In the mid-1990s, following the opening of China to the Western world, the Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe began to adopt the new trends then permeating the Chinese Acrobatic Theater performances&mdash;inspired to a large extent by the style developed by the Canadian [[Cirque du Soleil]], which had begun to use Chinese acrobats in its shows. Although Chinese specialty acts remained basically the same&mdash;albeit with an ever-increasing degree of difficulty&mdash;their presentation became included in lavishly staged productions, with costumes and music that took their distances from the old Chinese tradition. The Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe production of ''Carnival Dream'', for instance, made a successful international tour in 2009.
