Cultural class-Peking Opera
Peking Opera, also called Beijing Opera, is the largest and regarded as the national opera in China with a history of 200 years. We learned it on cultural class this week.
The featured facial make ups in diverse color and magnificent costumes are the two most characteristics of Peking Opera. From the color of make up and the style of dressing, audiences can easily recognize the role and the disposition of the character.
As for make ups, simply, red represents for righteousness, loyalty and bravery, black for the boldness and rudeness, blue and green for greenwood heroes, yellow and white for cunning and dishonesty, etc. The style of costumes is based on Ming style of both court and civil people. Contrasting colors are matched frequently in deep red, deep green, white, black, yellow and blue, and many embroideries were done with gold, silver and colored threads. Respective styles are also designed for kinds of roles in different ages, statues and occupations.
