Sichuan Opera, a magical traditional art in China, has been transformed. Why does it change its face and pass it on to men instead of women?

The face-changing in Sichuan Opera is mainly in the early feudal era. Girls are not easy to show their faces, and face-changing also affects their image, so girls can't save face.

Changing face in Sichuan Opera is a traditional art, which pays attention to speed and accompaniment. Sichuan Opera's face-changing combines many art forms, including Kunqu Opera and high-pitched singing. There are five roles, Xiao Sheng, Hua Dan, Clown and so on. It is said that clowns are very popular. Every face-changing mask in Sichuan Opera represents different image characteristics, and at the same time, it is accompanied by corresponding sounds to adjust the atmosphere. I've seen face-changing in Sichuan myself, but I haven't reacted yet, so many girls may not move so fast, so face-changing in Sichuan Opera was not passed on to girls in the early years, for fear of ruining the reputation of this art.

In addition, Sichuan opera needs makeup to change its face, which is also very strange to wear. Girls don't look good in it. Many boys can't adapt to that exaggerated modeling, and girls are even more embarrassed. Therefore, perhaps the master is worried that the performance effect is not very good, so girls will not be allowed to learn this art, and the tone of Sichuan Opera's face-changing is also very high. Every time it changes its face, it is accompanied by a rather loud cry. Some girls are not loud enough to let go, which is not conducive to performance. However, in recent years, the form of performance has gradually changed, and people's thinking has also begun to change. Some girls have begun to learn the art of changing their faces. I watched an entertainment program before, and I started to learn it when I saw very young girls, and the performance was not bad.

Sichuan opera has been transformed, and it is passed on to men but not to women. At that time, it was probably mainly to consider the physical and personality conditions of girls, and at that time, the times were still relatively feudal, so I didn't think girls were suitable for learning to change their faces.
