What are the cross frontispiece and the cross frontispiece in Beijing Opera?

Cross forehead decoration is one of the main classifications of Peking Opera facial makeup, which developed from the first three tile faces. Cross frontispiece is just a general term, and it can also be divided into two types: flower cross gate and old cross gate. Do you know what a cross is like? If you don't know, let's take a look with Bian Xiao!

"Cross frontage" evolved from "three-tile face". It subtracts the main color of cheeks in an abstract way, only shows the main color of a character's face with stripes from nose to forehead, and then exaggerates eyebrows (that is, eyebrows) and eye sockets to depict the special character of the character. For example, in "Lu Hua Dang", Zhang Fei ticked the black cross and Sima Shi ticked the red cross.

The cross frontispiece is a highly specialized musical form in Peking Opera facial makeup. This spectrum reduces the main color to the point of a pillar in the middle, while leaving a large area for eyebrows and cheeks. For example, Zhang Fei, although he has a black face, in fact, the proportion of black parts on his face is much smaller than that of white parts.

Cross frontispiece can also be divided into general "cross face" and "cross face". The former, such as Yao Qi and Gaowang, have a cross between the eye tile and the central column, and the composition is simple; The latter, such as Zhang Fei and hook bat eyebrow tile, have complex components. The classification of Facebook in the frontispiece is complicated. In Mr. Qian's classification system, facial expressions such as Zhang Fei and Xia are classified as "three flowers". In Hao Lao's Facebook Collection, Zhang Fei is classified as "butterfly face", while Jiao Zan and Meng Liang are classified as "magpie eyes".

Conclusion Peking Opera facial makeup is a traditional culture of our country, and its knowledge is profound and profound, which is something we must inherit. If someone around you knows this, you must learn from him.
