The color connotation of Chinese Peking Opera facial makeup is rich. What do these colors mean?

Peking Opera is a traditional art in China and a treasure of folk culture. When it comes to Beijing opera, the words "life, beauty, purity and ugliness" may come to mind, and we will also associate them with colorful faces. In fact, the color of Peking Opera facial makeup represents a lot of contents, such as loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and so on.

The most typical is the image of Guan Yu in Huarong Road, with his face painted red. Because most of the red faces represent loyalty, which matches Guan Yu's image. Therefore, when we watch Peking Opera, we can treat people with red faces as positive roles.

If Facebook is painted black, it means that this character is straightforward, decisive, brave and smart. For example, in the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's face in Beijing Opera is black, and so is Bao Gong's face.

On the contrary, if the color of the mask is white, it shows that the character is insidious and headstrong, and the most typical white-faced mask character is Cao Cao.

If it is a purple Facebook, it means that this character is upright and not afraid of powerful people, such as Jing Ke; If it is a yellow-faced woman, it shows that although this character is brave, he has a bad temper, such as Yuwen Chengdou; Blue stands for strong and insidious, such as Doulton, and green stands for brave and reckless, such as Wu Tianqi.

It is worth mentioning that if Facebook is gold or silver, this character is immortal, such as the Monkey King and Erlang God. In addition to color, we can actually read many interesting places in the patterns and strokes of Facebook, so Peking Opera is also worthy of our in-depth thinking and experience.
