Blue chips pushed up the indexes. Ping An Insurance gained 1.73 percent to 45.94 yuan while its peer China Life rose 1.35 percent to 34.46 yuan. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the country's biggest lender, increased 0.78 percent to 5.19 yuan.

The repeated hitting of new highs found strength from the bullish sentiment of the Chinese investors who threw themselves into lines to open accounts at securities firms.

A total of 128,047 A-share accounts were opened Friday, the 10th consecutive trading day that saw an addition of more than 100,000 accounts, according to statistics from the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited.

That compared with an average of 4,700 newly added accounts each day in 2005 when the market was in a bearish run.

Friday also witnessed the opening of over 45,000 fund accounts after some 130,000 ones were added on March 19.

By 3:00 pm Friday, the number of accounts in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges has topped 86.2 million, according to the statistics.

Trading was heavy on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. A total of 12.27 billion shares were traded in Shanghai, at a volume of 109.83 billlion yuan. In Shenzhen, the turnover hit 57.73 billon yuan, with 0.97 billion shares changing hands.
