The Wrestling Between Two Ghosts originated in the Han Dynasty(202BC-8AD), flourished in the Song Dynasty(960-1279), then spread from generation to generation, and can been seen in folks in many parts of the country. The Wrestling Between Two Ghosts is a solo acrobatic performance. The actor puts on special costumes and firmly ties the props to his back. The props are two exaggerated ghost heads carved from wood. The clothes of this show include two hats, two coats, and two gowns. Under the clothes are hidden shoulders and legs made of wood. Using a few ropes, this wooden prop is tied to the waist of the performer. Then the performer' s two hands put on the shoes that matched with the appearance of the two ghosts" and land on the ground as the two feet. Then the performer used the"four feet"together to roll and tumble, forming the scene of "two ghosts" wrestling on the back, which is very humorous and funny. The Wrestling Between Two Ghosts has a unique folk acrobatic art feature, which has been passed down for three hundred years. As its unique costume props and performance forms show unique charms of folk art in China, it has been deeply loved by the masses. During every Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and other major festivals, the actors often perform in temple fairs or parks for the masses, which has important social value for enriching people' s cultural life and expanding national culture.
