What is the principle of "changing face" in Quyimu Peking Opera?

Beijing opera has not changed its face, but the Sichuan opera repertoire belongs to Sichuan.

The origin of Sichuan Opera's changing face;

The stunt of "changing face" in Sichuan Opera originated from the traditional drama "Guizhenglou", which shows that Bei Rong, a righteous thief, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and was chased by officers and men. In order to change his face skillfully, he showed his changed face and inner world to the audience. At first, the actor's face was covered with a paper mask. Later, his face was coated with papyrus paper, which was attached to his face in turn, and then covered with fireworks, charcoal residue or folding fan, and removed layer by layer. There are generally three faces, so they are called "three incarnations", and some have as many as nine. Kang Zilin (1870- 1930), a famous Sichuan opera, is good at this drama, but he is not the founder. It is said that he used sticky loess as an avatar to study the production technology and materials of Facebook. Every time I bow to practice ostentation and extravagance, I will cut an elastic sandwich paper into three faces of different sizes at home. After drawing them separately, I will clip the wet faces into thread-bound books and bring them to the backcourt for face-to-face performance. No fireworks, no fake props, rapid and clean changes, dumping the audience, known as a must. At that time, every time the entrance of the theater was listed, the fare was as high as one yuan and fifty cents. Note: At that time, rice was one dollar a barrel (equivalent to 30 Jin) and pork was twenty cents a Jin. Although the ticket price is expensive, the audience is rushing, and the venue is crowded with people. That is to say, nowadays, what we often see is bayonne's style.

Secondly, in the Sichuan opera "The Legend of the White Snake", the artifact Zijin Rao Bowl (wearing a yellow vest) is a small fragment of collecting demons in the mountains.

As for the highest realm: you must have a deep-rooted foundation of Sichuan Opera, not only to master the five basic skills of hand-eye, body-step, but also to express the inner feelings of Facebook characters with dexterity. At present, the artists who can make the demonstration of Sichuan Opera's face-changing superb without breaking away from the traditional elements of Sichuan Opera are: Wang Daozheng, Mao Tingqi, Wang Daozheng's favorite disciples Dan Yu, Liu Shihu, He Hongqing, and the first-class actor of the National Air Administration Cultural and Art Troupe, that is, the original song face-changing/Guan: Chen Xiaotao, etc.

The changing face of Sichuan Opera belongs to China's artistic category and is the quintessence of our country. It's not magic, so don't try to expose it blindly.
