Beijing Opera costume is a unique costume art in China traditional opera. On the basis of profound life, it artistically shapes the appearance of characters with solemn and exaggerated patterns and bright and colorful colors, and depicts the character and its quality with implicit and deep expressions. Peking Opera Makeup is an important part of Chinese Peking Opera art, and it is a marginal subject, involving a wide range of materials, including oral chemistry, chromatics, anatomy and so on. It can be said to be an ancient new discipline. Costume in Beijing Opera is an important way to reveal the characters' personality, mental outlook and psychological state according to their historical status, and to express the characters in the play. It is based on black powder rouge, absorbs the means of meticulous painting with patterns, and achieves the expected artistic goal with the help of human imagination.

Peking Opera is a comprehensive art, and the makeup of Peking Opera is an important part of it. In order to make the performing arts more perfect and appealing, it needs to be closely coordinated with makeup. Without make-up, Peking Opera will lose its elegance and be eclipsed, and it will not be a complete art. Moreover, make-up must be integrated with actors and directors, and performance should be organically combined with character modeling and stage art effects to form a stage art effect with strong appeal. Without the script and stage, actors and directors, the makeup of Beijing opera will lose the possibility of survival and its artistic value will cease to exist. Therefore, Peking Opera makeup is not only an independent form, but also exists in the art of Peking Opera. It is integrated with script, performance, music and other artistic aspects, and can not be separated from the overall art of Beijing opera under any circumstances. Usually, when people comment on the quality of a play, they often regard the makeup effect as one of the important contents, because it can help actors shape the stage image, infect the audience, set off the atmosphere, show a specific time and space, highlight the theme and so on. At the same time, all components and departments of makeup and stage art cooperate, restrict and depend on each other. Make-up and clothing, for example, serve the characters and are an inseparable whole. They use the creation and design of each stage figure to meet the needs of the plot and reflect the director's intention. Among them, makeup is mainly to help actors organically integrate their external image with their inner world, while clothing shows perfect role modeling through role dressing. When a character's makeup model is designed according to the script, it is natural to consider the problem of clothing. Make-up is often narrowly understood as just the general decoration of the face and headdress. In fact, the fundamental significance of Peking Opera makeup lies in shaping vivid and personalized characters. According to some objective conditions such as personality, historical position, natural environment, etc. The makeup art of Peking Opera pursues complete, exaggerated and strong aesthetic feeling and real and touching artistic effect from the angle of aesthetic interest, thus making the artistic image of the stage more plump and radiant.

Performing arts are the center of stage arts. The makeup of Beijing opera can only reflect its artistic value through the performance of actors. It is not static, but dynamic, in order to create a "portrait" that can express and act. Different from art works, it has its own stories and emotions. On the other hand, a work of art is a still life painting, which shows the cross section of an image. It is through the performance of the actors that the makeup of Peking Opera has completed the whole process of the development of "portrait". The vertical and horizontal dimensions enable people to appreciate each artistic image more perfectly in time and space.

As a traditional art form in China, Peking Opera is not a simple and intuitive way to put real people on the stage. It needs to be refined, sublimated and beautified before it can be called art, and one of the means of sublimation and beautification is to rely on makeup to make the appearance of the characters artistic and cosmetic, so that the portrayed characters can be displayed on the stage in an artistic image. The effect of makeup and the level of makeup artist will directly affect the artistic effect of the Peking Opera performance stage. Therefore, as an independent art form, Peking Opera facial makeup should be fully recognized and highly valued for its overall role and influence on Peking Opera performing arts. Through the makeup art of Peking Opera, the character, appearance and mental state of things inside and outside are fully displayed, and artistic models of truth, goodness, beauty or falsehood, evil or ugliness are accurately shaped.

Like real life, there are all kinds of roles on the stage of Beijing opera: handsome and ugly; Some are calm and steady, and some are rude and reckless; Some are honest, some are humorous; Some are resolute and upright, others are insidious and cunning. How to show so many people with different appearances and personalities? That is, besides plot, music and performance, another important artistic means is makeup. Through the types of expression, using different colors, patterns, decorations and some changes in details, it shows the different appearance and personality characteristics of each character. Generally speaking, those people with good facial features, delicate faces, elegant manners, integrity or shrewdness are all beautified and dressed up with Cheng Jun's face; A snob or humorous person who behaves lewdly and obsequiously, disguised as an ugly face. In the development of Peking Opera art, this makeup technique has been acquiesced by the audience, even formed a fixed concept, and also formed the procedural norms of Peking Opera makeup art. Therefore, as soon as the actors appear, the audience will judge the goodness, evil, loyalty, treachery, beauty and ugliness of the characters, paving the way for the actors to perform and receive the expected artistic effect.

In most cases, the beauty of appearance in Peking Opera makeup is harmonious with the beauty of the soul of the characters, but sometimes there are contradictions, that is, the appearance, manners and personality of the characters can not be unified in one mode, and must be decided according to the plot and the needs of the characters created. Chen Shimei in Qin Xianglian and Zhong Kui in Marrying a Sister are typical examples of this phenomenon. Chen Shimei likes the new and hates the old, forgets righteousness, and kills his wife and children. He is a dirty, despicable and vicious snob, but he is also a good husband of Emperor Injong. It is conceivable that he must be an outstanding gentle figure. This obviously contradicts the basic spectrum of Peking Opera makeup. You can only choose between ugly face and handsome face, and dress up Cheng Jun's face on the stage. It not only shows one aspect of his appearance beauty, but also further depicts his hypocrisy, ugliness and malice by showing his appearance beauty. Zhong Kui, though brilliant and kind-hearted, may have a stronger contrast effect by dressing up as a painted face because of the needs of the plot.

Using different makeup artist to change the original appearance of actors and complete the external modeling of characters is an important purpose of makeup work, that is, to make actors conform to the age, personality and physiological characteristics of characters through artistic treatment of makeup. For example, if a middle-aged actor in his forties wants to play Sun Yujiao in Picking up the Jade Bracelet, only by means of make-up can a charming and delicate girl image appear on the stage. Another example is a young actor who is 18 years old and plays a She Taijun who is 100 years old. Only by putting on makeup can he get rid of the actor's own childishness and give the audience a heroic image of a woman with frosty temples, fortitude and vitality. Makeup artist can also be used to make up for the lack of actors' faces. For example, some actors' faces are wider or fatter, so they can change the original face shape by sticking film to standardize their facial contours to be very beautiful and meet the requirements of beautiful modeling. If the outline of the five senses is unclear and unbalanced, and there are some shortcomings in their own conditions, they can also achieve the purpose of beautifying the image, making their stage art modeling tend to be perfect and achieving ideal artistic effects.

Make-up is the "key" to help actors deeply understand and appreciate the role and correctly shape the role image. Make-up is not only to change the appearance of an actor, but more importantly, to reveal the inner world of the role deeply and accurately, strengthen the expressive force of the role itself, and externalize and typify the role that is difficult to grasp. In the actual makeup, some changes in the process and the handling of some details often help actors to better understand the characters, thus shaping them more accurately. Actors can be inspired by the power of makeup in the process of shaping their roles. Therefore, makeup is the "key" to help actors understand, experience and shape their roles. This key can open the inner world of the characters and complete the final stage of image creation. Dress-changing is usually regarded as a "watershed" in rehearsal and dubbing, and its theater effect is completely different. The playwright is very experienced in this field. Through rehearsal, the actors can be integrated into the role as soon as possible, the inner world and the image can be integrated, and the "spark" of artistic creation can be continuously sublimated. Stanislavski, a dramatist of the former Soviet Union, once said, "An actor should not only sketch his face before playing, but also tidy up and dress up his soul, just as an instrument must be adjusted before playing." . Therefore, makeup can not only be regarded as a means to change an actor's appearance, but to a great extent, it is an inducement to shape the stage image, an assistant to help an actor shape his artistic image, and a good friend of an actor. The makeup of Beijing opera is conducive to making the image of the actors more vividly displayed in front of the audience and improving the artistic effect of the stage.

Through makeup, the actor's performance, thoughts and feelings are more clearly conveyed to the audience, which drives the audience into the scene and makes the audience see more clearly. The audience sitting in the back row of the theater has a certain distance from the stage, and generally can only see a general outline. But after makeup, the actor's facial expression can be seen clearly under the illumination of light. In addition, due to the intensity of stage lighting, it is bound to dilute the color concentration. Only through color can the bleaching effect of light be eliminated, and the characters can be more prominent and clearly displayed in front of the audience, resulting in good results.
