Origin:

The earliest origin of Hongquan can be traced back to the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, "martial arts" and "wrestling" prevailed. During the Qin Dynasty, Sanfu (now Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province) prevailed, especially in Chang 'an area, and the skills were improved by practicing routine entertainment.

According to Records of the Historian Biography of Zhang Yi, "Qin people played the piano and danced their arms." It is said that at the celebration banquet after Ying Zheng's victory, the warriors "beat their chests and feet" (dancing) to celebrate, which is different from the current fashion.
