Tightrope walking.
It originated in the Han Dynasty.
It evolved from the ancient act of walking on ropes in various performances.
Performers needed to walk back and forth on a rope tied at both ends and perform various actions, such as dancing, somersaulting, standing on their heads, riding bicycles, and so on.
Mastering this stunt sport is extremely difficult. It requires not only sufficient courage and perseverance but also amazing balance and highly sophisticated power control. All four elements are indispensable.
If one tries to walk on a tightrope without proper training, the inevitable result would be falling haphazardly and embarrassingly.
As for practicing martial arts on a rope and performing a complete set of moves? It is countless times harder than other rope activities, to the point of being outrageous.
