Polishing the International Business Card of Wuqiao Acrobatics

2024-02-06

On the afternoon of January 30th, after a gong song, a farmhouse in Zhangsong Village, Tiecheng Town, Wuqiao County, Hebei Province became lively, with more than a dozen young acrobats performing stunts such as pedaling cylinders, dancing meteors, hat tricks, etc. This is the home of He Shusheng, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Wuqiao Acrobatics at the provincial level, and also the "Acrobatics Courtyard" created by him. At the age of 70, He Shusheng is the sixth generation descendant of the acrobatic family "He Family Class". At the age of 6, he followed his father to practice acrobatics, and by the time his grandson and granddaughter became the eighth generation inheritor. In order to promote the folk acrobatic art left behind by his ancestors, he recruited more than 300 apprentices to teach. Wuqiao County is a famous "hometown of acrobatics", and its acrobatics can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. For thousands of years, the acrobatic art of Wuqiao has been inherited and developed under the nourishment of the Dayun River, and has gradually spread to various parts of the country and stepped onto the world stage. Yan Yan, Director of the Construction Service Center of Wuqiao Acrobatic Cultural Ecological Protection Experimental Zone, introduced that in recent years, Wuqiao County has fully implemented the "Acrobatic Revitalization" strategy, relying on unique acrobatic cultural resources, vigorously promoting the cultivation of acrobatic talents, creating characteristic acrobatic courtyards in 17 acrobatic professional villages throughout the county, and actively promoting the inheritance and development of acrobatic culture. At the same time, Wuqiao County actively promotes the creation of a national level cultural and ecological protection pilot zone. In the process of local economic development, efforts are made to polish the international business card of Wuqiao acrobatics, and to enhance the centripetal force of acrobatics culture, the influence and competitiveness of acrobatics industry. As of now, 20 acrobatic intangible cultural heritage inheritance bases have been established in Wuqiao County, 17 certified and listed acrobatic professional villages have been established, 132 acrobatic performance groups have been established, and 3 acrobatic professional schools have been established. More than 6000 outstanding acrobatic talents have been transported to various parts of the country, and more than 60 countries and regions have Wuqiao acrobats performing year-round. There are 473 administrative villages in the county, all of which have acrobatic artists. There are over 100 acrobatic villages with over 50 households specializing in acrobatics. "From 99 to just walking, everyone has their own skills in performing acrobatics in Wuqiao." said Wu Hualong, the person in charge of the Wuqiao County Cultural, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau. This widely circulated folk song vividly depicts the ecological status of Wuqiao's acrobatic culture. Nowadays, these traditional acrobatics and artistic styles gather in the Wuqiao Acrobatics World. Adhering to the principle of shaping tourism through culture and highlighting culture through tourism, Wuqiao County has invested 200 million yuan in the overall improvement of the acrobatic world scenic area. The scenic area integrates multiple functions such as entertainment, performance, participation, and communication, offering both original folk performances and high-tech stages. It has launched multiple high-quality plays such as "Jianghu", "Canal · Impression", and "Times", restoring the performance nodes of "Lvjia Ban" and "Zhao Family Tea House", adding indoor attractions such as "Ghost Hand Residence", "Red Peony Stage", and "Hundred Drama Theater" to recreate the magnificent scene of the "September Temple Fair" in Wuqiao. As a production base for the rescue, protection, and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, Wuqiao Acrobatic World currently has 41 acrobatic intangible cultural heritage projects and 36 representative inheritors. It has become the largest folk tourism scenic spot in China with the most inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. The person in charge of Wuqiao Acrobatics World Tourism Co., Ltd
