Changing face is the unique skill of China opera performance.

Changing face is the unique skill of China Sichuan Opera. Changing face of Sichuan Opera is one of the performing stunts of Sichuan Opera. It is to turn the abstract emotions and psychological emotions that can't be seen or touched into concrete images that can be seen and touched, and present them with facial makeup to obtain better viewing effect.

According to legend, when faced with fierce beasts, ancient humans would draw different shapes of faces in different ways in order to survive, thus scaring away the beasts. Later, Sichuan Opera changed its face and put it on the stage. After historical precipitation and development, it gradually became an artistic stunt handed down from generation to generation.

Face changing techniques can be divided into three types: face wiping, face blowing and face pulling. There is also a special "luck" face change. Blowing face is mostly suitable for powdery cosmetics. It is difficult to pull a face. You can't have too much glue on your face, otherwise it's easy to tear off all the faces at once. In addition, the fake action should be more clean and neat, and few people master the "luck changing face."

Sichuan Opera, commonly known as Sichuan Opera, is mainly popular in the Han areas of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces in southwest China. It is a traditional opera that combines five vocal arts: Gaoqiang, Kunqu Opera, Huqin, Tanxi and Sichuan Folk Lantern.

Sichuan Opera consists of five tunes: Kunqu Opera, Gaoqiang Opera, Huqin Opera, Tanxi Opera and Dengdiao. The facial makeup of Sichuan Opera is an important part of the performing arts of Sichuan Opera, and it is an artistic treasure created and inherited by Sichuan Opera artists in past dynasties.
