 Although China started contacts with non-Asian countries more than two thousand years ago, foreign influences were absorbed and rendered with a Chinese flavor for the sole benefit of that evolution. In this peculiarity lies the most important difference between Chinese and Western cultural traditions: The latter is more organic and open to new components, while the Chinese tradition aims towards the perfection of already known elements, and the integration of new elements into an existing mold.

 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.

 After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government, following its policy of "Let a hundred flowers blossom and weed through the old to bring forth the new," brought about a spectacular renaissance of the Acrobatic Theater. Acrobatic troupes were created in each province and every major city, and were given their own theaters. The teaching was (and still is) done within the troupe, old performers training the new generation. These troupes experienced a serious setback during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1969), but only to see their vitality soaring afterward.

 The Zhengzhou Acrobatic Troupe is one of the oldest municipal acrobatic troupes in China. Based in Zhengzhou, the capital of the Henan Province, it pre-dates the Communist revolution: It was created in 1937 on the principles of the [[Wuqiao Acrobatic Troupe]] by Dong Shunmian, an acrobat, and his wife Hu Guilan. In 1949, the troupe became part of the Chinese network of municipal and regional acrobatic troupes. It quickly distinguished itself in national and international competition, notably winning a Silver Clown at the 11th [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]] with a chair-balancing act in 1985.
