Juggling in ancient China
Although juggling in its western form involving props such as balls, rings, and clubs is rarely performed in modern China, at certain periods in Chinese history it was much more popular. In fact, some of the world's earliest known jugglers were Chinese warriors and entertainers who lived during the time of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. References to these artists in ancient Chinese literature have preserved records of their incredible achievements. From such references, it appears that juggling was a well-regarded and highly developed form of ancient Chinese art.
== Xiong Yiliao ==
Xiong Yiliao (), was a famous Chu warrior who fought under King Zhuang of Chu (ruled 613-591 BC) during the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. Ancient Chinese annals state that he practiced ''nongwan'' (, "throwing multiple objects up and down without dropping"〔() Zdic.net: 弄丸〕), and he is often cited as one of the world’s earliest known jugglers. During a battle in about 603 BC between the states of Chu () and Song (), Xiong Yiliao stepped out between the armies and juggled nine balls, which so amazed the Song troops that all five hundred of them turned and fled, allowing the Chu army to win a complete victory.〔() Chinese Acrobatics Through the Ages, by Fu Qifeng〕〔() 熊宜僚: 楚庄王时勇士〕 As Xu Wugui () recounts in Chapter 24 of the Zhuangzi (), “Yiliao of Shinan juggled balls, and the conflict between the two states was ended.”〔() Zhuangzi, translated by James Legge, Xu Wu-gui, verse 10〕〔() All our Yesterdays: Juggle Magazine, Spring 1987, pg 42〕
