Clothing category in clothing

China traditional opera costumes are stylized forms that have been practiced and perfected for a long time. The costumes of traditional Peking Opera can be divided into five types: python, armor, pleat, purse and clothes. Cantonese opera costumes are largely based on Beijing opera, which can be roughly divided into seven categories: python, armor, pleated, split, official clothes, official clothes and clothes. In fact, it is not much different from the classification of Beijing opera, except that Beijing opera classifies "opening" as "bo"; Put "official clothes" into the category of "clothes". Now try to introduce the characteristics of various Cantonese opera costumes in detail. Whether it is Beijing Opera or Cantonese Opera, "Yi" is the most complicated style and contains the most kinds. All kinds of clothes worn by people who do not belong to the above six categories can be classified into this category. This kind of clothes can be worn by princesses, royalty, eunuchs, ranks, servants, waiters, buddhist nun, civilians, monks and Taoist priests. Because all kinds of "clothes" have different styles and patterns, we can't specifically summarize the styles or patterns that "clothes" communicate with each other. "Clothes" generally include: palace clothes, eunuch clothes, express clothes, arrow clothes (called "riding" in Cantonese opera), nigger clothes, gossip clothes, cassock clothes, mandarin jackets, tea clothes, hands-on clothes, military uniforms, flag clothes and so on.

These are the seven categories of Cantonese opera costumes. After a long time of stylized habits, it can be used regardless of dynasty, time and season. However, people in different roles and positions in the play have strict requirements on costumes and colors, and they can't wear them wrong.
