One sings the good COP, and the other sings the bad COP. What does a bad face mean?

Facebook is a special spectral pattern outlined by various colors on actors' faces in China traditional operas. Cleanliness and ugliness are the two main roles in using facial makeup. The purpose of Facebook is to show the characters' faces and personality characteristics, so as to enrich the color of stage art and enhance the performance effect. Facebook is a kind of image art creation, which has the characteristics of popular arts and crafts in the Qing Dynasty and is an inherent part of the whole stage art. 1. Basic types of Peking Opera Facebook There are four basic types: rubbing, hooking, wiping and breaking. Face rubbing: it is a realistic mask that rubs the color all over the face with your fingers, and then intensifies the eyebrows and facial texture contours. Guan Yu's red face in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a Peking Opera, is designed according to the face of Guan Yu described in novels and ballads, which indicates that Guan Yu's face is like a heavy jujube, a silkworm eyebrow, a single phoenix eye and seven-star hemorrhoids. Hook your face: draw your eyebrows with a brush dipped in color, fill your face and turn it into a colorful pattern. Some are gold-plated and silver-plated, gorgeous and dazzling. The leopard, the leopard, in the The Journey to the West of Peking Opera is a complicated painted face, with a face covered with gold, a leopard head pattern on his forehead and a money pattern on his face, which is used to express the fierceness of the leopard. Wipe your face: it means to paint all or part of your face white with a brush dipped in white powder, indicating that such people don't show their true colors. It's a fake mask, also called pink face. Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a hero in Beijing Opera, with a big white face and a white face. Broken face: refers to the mask with asymmetric left and right graphics. Three kinds of faces are disfigured: rubbing, hooking and rubbing. It is a mask with derogatory meaning. In novels and ballads, it is said that Zheng Ziming, the founding hero of the early Song Dynasty, has ugly eyes, and Zheng Ziming is a typical figure who uses broken faces in Beijing opera. The word "hook face" has two meanings: one is to represent a kind of facial makeup, as mentioned above, and the other is to refer to the method of sketching facial makeup on the face. All kinds of facial makeup are sketched with a pen when you draw it, and eyebrows and lines on your face are often hooked with a pen when you wipe it and break it, so the hook surface has become the general term for sketching facial makeup on your face. Second, the colors of Peking Opera masks can be divided into various colors. The so-called facial makeup refers to the main colors of the face, including red, purple, white, yellow, black, blue, green, pink, gray, light blue, ochre, brown, gold and silver. Facial lines on facial makeup are often lined with other colors, which plays a role in rendering and contrasting the main colors. All kinds of red and black. White face, also called wiping face, is to paint your face with white powder to show that you don't show your true colors. They are usually treacherous people. People with white faces generally have beards, and the color of beards is the same as that of eyebrows and nasal fossa on Facebook: people with black eyebrows and nasal fossa have black beards (such as Cao Cao in Hero); Those with gray eyebrows and gray nose nests wear mouths (such as Zhao Gao in Cosmic Front); Those with purple eyebrows and purple nose nests have purple beards (such as Sun Quan in Kanluoji), and so on. People with white faces are generally sharp-eyed, but they also vary from person to person. For example, Cao Cao is a big adulterer and his eye socket is not very sharp. On the one hand, it shows his delicacy, on the other hand, it is more insidious, while Yan Song and Pan Renmei are more sharp-eyed. Some are too fierce, but their eyes are too sharp, such as Ouyang Fang. There are also people who are not sharp-eyed, such as Sima Yi, whose round eyes show that he is quiet and wise. Zhou Wang has a keen eye, which is also a special case. At first, red facial makeup was directly related to people's skin color. For example, Guan Yu's face was like a heavy jujube, and Guan Tai was a red-faced man. Because these people are loyal, brave and upright, by extension, many generals who are brave and good at fighting, as well as the god of justice, have been labeled as red faces. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, "Exam Book" and "Taiyi Real Person". However, some characters are considered as villains, which is ironic. Cui Jue in "Tidal Beads" is a courtier of regicide, and her red face is a satire on the dissoluteness of the King of Qi. Huang Chao in Xiangmei Temple is an example of resisting the Tang King, and Red Face is a helpless satire on Tang Xizong. Sometimes the arrangement of red faces is also for the needs of stage art, for example, Liao Qichong's red face in Sijie Village is to match Bao Ci 'an with white face and Hua with pink face to make the stage colorful. In Bai's view, his red face is comparable to that of Weichi Gong and Wei Chibaolin, which clearly shows that Wei Chibaolin is not his son. Some people don't cross the red face, but cross the red face in a certain play. For example, Liu Jin is a villain, usually a white face, but in Famen Temple, what he did was a good thing. In order to show their youth, many elderly people, such as Huang Santai in Hero, look straight at the pink face in their eyes, which belongs to a broad sense of red face. Purple facial makeup is often used for upright and dignified figures in Beijing opera. Such as Zhuan Xu in Fishbone Sword and Xu Zhaoyan in Second Palace. These people are more straightforward and have similarities with those with black faces. But it is impolite to use black. Purple has a meaning between black and red. Some characters are described as purple faces in novels, so they also use purple faces, such as Wei Yan, Putian Carving, Fei Degong and so on. Pang Tong's purple face in Chai Sang's mouth shows that he is ugly. White face (also known as oily white face) has several uses: one is the old hero and general used for children's eyes, such as Bao Ci 'an in Sijie Village and Geng Yan in Kunyang; One is related to wiping faces, and traitors and fierce soldiers often use white faces, such as yangfu in Jizhou War and Gordon in Sunny House. The other is similar to the former, but headstrong, such as Ma Su in Lost Street Pavilion and Huang Xu in Yangpingguan. Eunuchs use white faces to express their treacherous temperament and fair complexion, such as Yili in Huang Jintai. Some monks, with strong bodies and high martial arts skills, also use white faces, such as Lu in the Wild Pig Forest and Yang Yande in Wutai Mountain. Black Face: In Beijing Opera, the facial makeup is mainly made by martial artists, and there are more facial makeup by China who wipes and rubs his face. Bao Zheng is one of the most famous literati. Bao Zheng used a bad face because of the legendary bad face, which was extended to be impartial. Bao Zheng has a crescent pattern on his forehead. Generally speaking, he can solve cases in the underworld. Generally, people who use bad faces are ugly and fierce. From Zhang Fei, who is intelligent and fierce, to Su in Sangmen, it can be said that black face is the most brilliant facial makeup in Peking Opera, which is a combination of full face, broken face and three tiles. Gold and silver face and variegated face are blue-faced fangs, showing the cash light of fairy face and ghost face. Don't be weird, but be close to the face. Some generals can show their bravery and invincibility by showing their faces in gold, such as Li Yuanba of Siping Mountain, who talked about the golden martial arts in Yue Opera. Broadly speaking, variegated face is a complex facial makeup derived from black face. The yellow-faced woman shows the bravery and ferocity of the characters; Blue face shows a strong and insidious character; The green face shows the ferocity and bravery of the characters. In Beijing opera, this color of facial makeup is generally not used by the main characters, but it also has its own special spectrum. 3. Style of Peking Opera Facial Makeup In the Qing Dynasty, operas have formed various types of rubbing, rubbing, hooking and breaking, among which the hook surface has developed greatly and differentiated into full face, three-tile face, three-tile face and broken face. The whole face is a relatively primitive form. The whole face is divided into forehead and cheeks by eyebrow fossa, and eyebrows are divided into white eyebrows and black eyebrows. For example, in white, Wei Chijingde has a black face, which is divided into black forehead and cheeks by a broad white eyebrow, and the forehead is a vertical furrow. Three-tile face, in addition to black and white eyebrows, eyes and nasal fossa. That is, the face is divided into three parts by eyebrows and nose: forehead and cheeks. For example, the red three-tile face is based on the red color of the face. Hua Sanwa's face is a three-tile face with complicated eyebrows, eyes and nasal fossa. There are patterns on the face, and some patterns even cover up the color of the face. So the colors of the three ceramic tile faces are based on the colors of the face and forehead. For example, Xiang Yu's facial makeup belongs to three tiles with black flowers, white eyebrows with patterns, nasal fossa with nostrils, white cheeks with patterns and black forehead with patterns. (Some people also call this kind of facial makeup a cross door, because the nasal fossa reaches the forehead and forms a cross with the two eye sockets. ) The broken surface is more complicated than the color and pattern of the three-tile surface, and some of them break the basic form of the three-tile surface. For example, in "Sunshine House", Xu Shiying is a blue broken face with complicated patterns on eyebrows, nose, forehead and cheeks. Because of the different styles of expression, the brushwork, painting method and pattern of Facebook are also different. But Facebook is consistent with its performance style.
