What genre is Sichuan Opera?

Sichuan has Sichuan Opera, Sichuan Lantern Opera, Sichuan Quyi Opera and Xiushan Lantern Opera, among which Sichuan Opera is the most famous. Sichuan Opera, commonly known as Sichuan Opera, is mainly popular in the Han nationality areas of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces and cities in southwest China. It is a traditional opera that combines five vocal arts: Gao Qiang, Kunqu Opera, Huqin Opera, Tanxi Opera and Sichuan Folk Lantern Opera.

Sichuan Opera is one of the traditional operas in China, and its vocals are mainly composed of five kinds of vocals: Kunqu Opera, Gaoqiang Opera, Huqin Opera and Dengdiao Opera. These five vocal cavities, accompanied by gongs and drums, suona qupai, piano and flute music, constitute a musical form.

Sichuan Opera can be divided into five industries: Xiao Sheng, Shanjiao, Shengjiao, Huahua and Clown. All walks of life have their own achievement procedure system, especially Xiao Sheng, Clown, and Dan Jiao, who have made outstanding innovations in drama expression techniques and performance techniques, which can fully reflect the aesthetic characteristics of China's operas, such as the coexistence of reality and reality and freehand brushwork.

Before the performance, Sichuan opera actors should paint different colors on their faces to show their identity, appearance and personality characteristics. In the history of Sichuan Opera, there was no full-time face painter, and the actors painted their own faces.

On the premise of maintaining the basic characteristics of the characters in the play, actors can creatively draw faces according to their own characteristics to attract the attention of the audience. Therefore, the personalization and diversification of Sichuan opera masks are rare in various local operas.
