Traditional Chinese Opera Mask and China Traditional Culture

China opera is an important part of China traditional culture, and opera mask is an important part of traditional opera culture, which has profound cultural implications and rich historical content. Therefore, we will focus on introducing opera facial makeup and China traditional culture here. Opera masks are not only pleasing to the eye, but also an expressive cultural language for dialogue between opera artists and audiences. It is the national cultural customs and life customs accustomed to nature that endow this special language with established semantics and various expressive functions. Many aspects of China's traditional culture are reflected in the facial makeup of traditional operas.

Traditional culture is dominated by Confucian culture, which is based on ethics. Therefore, moralization has become a prominent feature of traditional culture. The art of traditional Chinese opera, which grew up in such a strong moralized cultural atmosphere, is of course full of moralized colors. Confucianism emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness, which is fully reflected in China's traditional operas. The moralization of traditional Chinese opera can be summarized as follows: figures with clear distinction between good and evil; The integrity of giving up one's life for righteousness; Enlightenment function of medical life and so on. The facial makeup of China traditional operas focuses on the characters' character and moral quality, which includes praise and criticism, and distinguishes good from evil. It is full of strong moral evaluation color, and it is the embodiment of the ethical content of Confucian culture in traditional Chinese opera facial makeup. In the long-term social life, we have formed a common understanding of traditional opera facial makeup, such as red is brave, black is upright, white is treacherous, blue is fierce, yellow is cruel, green is tough, and purple is Geng Jie's.

China traditional opera not only synthesizes many traditional artistic achievements, but also is influenced by many traditional artistic aesthetic thoughts. Introduced "image", "artistic conception" and "interest" from poetry; Introducing "spirit likeness", "likeness" and "virtual reality" from painting; Introducing "truth and falsehood" from novels. The aesthetic consciousness of traditional opera facial makeup is also influenced by various traditional arts.

There are similarities between the sketch creation of Facebook and the writing creation of China's calligraphy. Calligraphy is an art form, which comes from the writing of a word, while Facebook is an art form, which comes from the composition of a word. Both of them show strong stylized characteristics in the process of creation, that is to say, they cannot be broken. There are similarities in the way they use pens. They all pay attention to smooth and powerful lines, clear rhythm and high spirits.

The aesthetic consciousness of facial makeup is deeply influenced by the aesthetic thought of Chinese painting. For example, the aesthetic idea of "attaching importance to the likeness of spirit" and "neglecting the likeness" in Chinese painting has been applied to the facial makeup of traditional operas, in which "departing from the form" (leaving away from the natural image), "taking the form" (shaping the natural image by means of deformation and decoration) and "expressing the spirit" (conveying the character's personality, expression, psychology and morality) are the traditions of Chinese painting. Like China, the composition of Facebook pays attention to density, penetration, avoidance, truthfulness and balance. The sketch brushwork of Facebook is also related to the brushwork of Chinese painting, which has priority and grade. In a word, the creation of Facebook has the same score and method as the creation of Chinese painting. Only by following the procedures and rules that conform to their own aesthetic laws can Facebook become the face of the characters on the stage of Chinese opera, and only then can it have a beautiful performance.

Opera originated from the folk, and the relationship between opera culture and folk art is closer. In folk art, there are opera figures in woodcut New Year pictures, paper-cutting, paper-binding, sugar-plastic, costume embroidery, clay figurine, gourd carving, architectural painting and sculpture, among which opera facial makeup art is also an important aspect.

Traditional Chinese opera is an important form of entertainment for China people. It can be said that its rich stories and beautiful singing are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Influenced by the traditional opera culture in China, folk artists create their own opera stories and characters in their works of art, so that the images on the opera stage remain in people's lives for a long time. Characters such as Three Kingdoms Opera, Water Margin Opera, Journey to the West, and folk story plays often appear in folk art works.

The facial makeup in folk art works is basically the same as that on the opera stage. Sometimes, however, there are different faces on the stage, which is not only the result of free expression of feelings in folk art, but also the result of re-creation based on the understanding of opera. It may not conform to scientific norms, but it can be vivid and enjoyable. In this way, the relationship between Facebook and folk art is complementary. Facebook provides a lot of material for folk art; Folk art provides rich nutrition for Facebook, which has played a huge role in the spread of Facebook and even the whole opera art, making opera characters (including Facebook) penetrate into all aspects of people's lives.

Facebook art is a precious legacy left by predecessors. Like the traditional opera art in China, it is a treasure of our China culture and a masterpiece of human culture. We should inherit and carry forward it well, and make the art of facial makeup full of national characteristics more brilliant.
