How did the face in Sichuan change?

There are three ways to change the face shape, namely blowing face, wiping face and pulling face.

The so-called "face blowing" is to paint the face with toner in advance, and then blow off the toner on the face when others are not paying attention, that is, to realize a process of changing face, while "face wiping" is just the opposite of "face blowing", that is, to quickly paint other colors on the face when others are not paying attention.

Compared with "blowing face" and "wiping face", "pulling face" is more advanced, so how to "pull face" has become a top secret, and no one knows it except the performer.

First of all, before the performance, they will wear facial makeup, which is a kind of silk facial makeup as thin as cicada's wings. Each facial makeup has different colors and patterns. The most important thing is that there is a hidden silk thread on every face, and these silk threads are hidden in clothes, such as cuffs, waist, trouser legs and even palms.

Then in the process of performance, according to different movements, people pull the silk thread at the moment when they are not paying attention, and at this time tear off a face to complete the process of changing face. It can be seen that although the principle of changing face is not difficult, it is absolutely impossible to perform without flaws, and it is absolutely impossible without ten or twenty years of kung fu, which also confirms the saying that "one minute on stage, ten years off stage".

Technical features:

There are many places in Chengdu where Sichuan Opera has a face-changing performance. In addition to the poor performance quality, I recommend two places:

Elegant charm of Sichuan style: the theater was formerly a folk Sichuan opera class. A few years ago, in order to meet the needs of tourism culture and tourism development, the theater gathered several famous people from Sichuan Opera to show various folk skills of Sichuan Opera, which was very ornamental and enjoyed a good reputation in Sichuan Opera.

Jinjiang Theater: The feature is that there are often traditional Sichuan operas. Many middle-aged and elderly people like to come here to watch a Sichuan opera and have a cup of tea. It's really an honor. The performance was wonderful, with a face-changing and a fire-breathing, which was worth seeing and very distinctive. The face-changing show of Sichuan Opera is very effective, with complete plot, ups and downs and beautiful stage effect.
