"Facial makeup" is the painting on the faces of Chinese opera actors and is used as a makeup art for stage performances.

"Sheng" and "Dan" have simple facial make-up, with a little makeup, and are called "Jun face", "Simple face" and "Clean face".

The facial paintings of "Jingxing" and "Chouxing" are more complicated, especially Jing, which is heavily painted with oil paint and has complex patterns, so it is called "painted face".

Facial makeup in opera mainly refers to facial painting.

As for "ugly", because of playing a dramatic role, a small piece of white powder is applied on the bridge of the nose, commonly known as a small painted face.

There are several theories about the origin of stage facial makeup. One is from the Northern and Southern Dynasties of my country. Various facial masks (20 photos) flourished in the song and dance dramas of the Tang Dynasty, also called Da Mian or Dai Mian, in order to praise King Lanling. A man's solo dance based on his military exploits and virtues. It is said that King Lanling was tall and respectful, brave and good at fighting, and looked like a woman. Every time he went to battle, he wore a fierce mask and won every time.

In order to praise King Lanling, people created a solo dance for men, also wearing masks.

Opera actors draw facial makeup on the stage to help enhance the personality, appearance, and status of the characters they play, to achieve rich stage colors, and to beautify the stage effect. Stage facial makeup is the harmonious unity of ideas and perceptions in people's minds.

Red face: Symbolizes loyalty, uprightness, and bloody spirit, such as Guan Yu in "Three Kingdoms Opera" and Wu Han in "Zhan Jing Tang".

Black face: expresses a serious character and an unsmiling character, such as Bao Zheng in "Bao Gong Opera"; it also symbolizes power, rudeness and boldness, such as: Zhang Fei in "Three Kingdoms Opera", Li Kui in "Water Margin Opera", "Yang Paifeng"

"Jiao Zan in ".

Others: Indicates the yin in yin and yang, used for ghosts.

Dark skin or ugly appearance.

White face: expresses cunning and suspicion, such as Cao Cao in "Three Kingdoms Opera" and Yan Song in "The Beating of Yan Song".

Blue face: expresses an upright and unruly character, such as Ma Wu in "Up to the Sky" and Dou Erdun in "Serial Set".

Purple face: expresses solemnity, stability, and a sense of justice, such as Xu Yanzhao in "Second Entry into the Palace" and Zhuan Zhu's golden face in "Yuchang Sword": symbolizes majesty and solemnity, and expresses the role of gods.

For example: Tathagata Buddha and Erlang God in "Havoc in Heaven".

Dapeng's green face: brave and reckless.

For example: Xu Shiying in "White Water Beach" Traditional Chinese opera has a very interesting phenomenon, which is the facial makeup of characters.

Through the shape, color and pattern of the facial makeup, the character's personality and moral and ethical characteristics are clearly told to the viewer.

This is a simple "dualism" that does not conform to the reality of life: either good or bad, loyal or traitorous, stupid or wise.

This division makes the characters on the stage clear and clear, and the audience no longer has to worry about guessing, reasoning, and judgment.

Chinese opera types with a long history, such as Han Opera, Qin Opera, Kun Opera, Peking Opera, etc., all have facial makeup.

The function of facial makeup, in addition to expressing personality, can also imply various situations of the character. For example, Xiang Yu's eyes are painted in a "crying look" to imply his tragic ending, Bao Gong's frown implies that he is thinking hard and worried, and Sun Wukong's monkey-shaped face implies that he

Ben is a monkey.

Another function is to "distance", widening the psychological distance between the play and the audience.

The pictures on the face make it difficult for the audience to distinguish the actor's true face, and the appearance is very different from the real person in life, as if he is wearing a mask.

This makes it difficult for the audience to "get into the show" and avoid hallucinations, but to focus on aesthetics and appreciation.

In addition, the "big painted face" and the "handsome look" are played at the same time, forming a sharp contrast, which highlights the handsome appearance of raw and dan and the grotesque appearance of pure and ugly appearance.

At the same time, the thick, vivid paints and diverse patterns of the facial makeup, coupled with Jing Xing's rough "roaring" voice, form a strong artistic stimulation, which excites, vents and shocks the audience.

Facial makeup is not absolutely fixed, and may vary slightly depending on the play, the age of the character, and the actor's face shape.

In addition, when actors paint facial makeup for performances, there is also a principle that the facial makeup, especially the keynote colors, of the characters who are present at the same time cannot be "overly serious". For example, in "Changban Slope", eight generals from Cao Ying appeared at the same time, except for

Zhang Liao's face should not be changed, and the other seven people must have the same color and cannot be the same.

The purpose is to use different colors for aesthetic purposes, but also to prevent distant viewers from confusing the characters.

The facial makeup of Jingxing is the richest and most complex.

The Peking Opera facial makeup of King Chu Ba is called "Wu Shuang Face" and is exclusively used by King Chu Ba.

According to legend, King Chu Ba was a handsome man, but because he killed countless people and had a ferocious temper, he was painted with a painted face; and because he was a tragic figure, two large black shadows were painted downwards on his eyes, which clearly gave him a sad face.

The background color of Xiang Yu's facial makeup is white, which represents cunning and cruelty.

In people's impression, Xiang Yu is a bloody man, especially Farewell My Concubine, which fully shows his deep feelings and is unforgettable, but his face is only black and white, not red.

This situation shows that there are still many issues worthy of research and discussion in Facebook.
