What is the meaning of traditional theater green coat

In traditional theater, the Qingyi is a representative costume, which is usually a blue or green robe with a golden pattern on the sides. The green coat is not only a costume, but also a symbol of role-playing. In theater, actors must progress from playing supporting roles as minor actors to have the opportunity to wear the green coat and become the main character in the play. Wearing a green coat does not mean that an actor has achieved the highest honor; there are still higher realms to be pursued.

YiYi has a high status in traditional Chinese culture, and as early as the Tang Dynasty, there was the term "yingyi lu" (qingyi lu). It not only represents a higher honor and status for the actor, but also symbolizes the traditional culture of "the way of the gentleman", which is to have modesty, courtesy and moderation. On the stage, an actor needs to show the audience all kinds of cultivation and demeanor in order to be recognized and applauded by the audience.

With the change of time, the traditional theater of Qingyi has come into people's lives, and has gradually lost its traditional mystery. But it doesn't mean the decline and disappearance of traditional theater. Nowadays, many Qingyi actors are still on the stage to bring the audience the classic performances of traditional theater. At the same time, Qingyi has gradually integrated into modern culture and become one of the representatives of fashion. The combination of traditional theater and modern culture has allowed Qingyi culture to be passed on and developed in a wider range of fields.
