How to do the crown of Yue Opera? What materials are needed?

At the beginning of the male class, the actor untied the braid on his head, put a bun on the plate and inserted a flower. This is the earliest hairstyle and headdress. After the costume drama, imitate Shao Opera. Decorate the bun with rows of small glass tubes and the bun with top flowers. When learning Peking Opera in the 1920s, a complete set of "head noodles" was unconditionally prepared. Water pieces were made of wood or iron, and the whole head noodles were rarely used to decorate the performance. Since the birth of the women's class, actresses have worn pigtails, so they are used as "hair weaving" and wigs of "Baotou" and learn to use "copper bubble Baotou" (such as Wang Baochuan in Bieyao), "rhinestone Baotou" (such as Yan Lanzhen in Panfusov) and "stippling Baotou" (. In the early 1940s, when Yuan Xuefen performed "Heng Niang", she combed the head of the costume with her own hair and chose to use headdress as needed. After that, the actors reformed the headdress one after another, found the basis from the paintings of ladies in ancient costumes, and began to create the unique hairstyles and headdresses in ancient costumes of Yue Opera. Headdress from complex to simple, from gorgeous to exquisite, mainly wearing, less decorative flowers, characterized by simplicity and lightness. In the 1950s, wigs and headdresses were made to meet the needs of hairstyles and save time in makeup.

In the early stage of Yue Opera, the headgear of Yue Opera was borrowed from a scholar's hat or a melon-skin hat with jade in life, and some of it was removed from the head of a bodhisattva statue when the dilapidated small temple was demolished. Rent costumes and helmets for Shao Opera and Peking Opera in the future. After the women's group settled in Shanghai, the main actors all had "private clothes", and the costumes and helmets they wore were bought from Nanhengtai Colorful Boots Store or Guangdong Road Clothing Store. Other actors who wear "costumes in the hall" wear rented costumes and helmets. These helmets basically inherited the hat box system of Peking Opera or Kunqu Opera. For example, in Tears of Xiang Jian and Liang Zhu, Xiao Sheng wore them, all of which were literary towels of Peking Opera.

In the newly edited historical drama, Yue Opera has improved the historical life such as "Entering the Sage Crown", "Fangshan Crown", "Reaching the Heavenly Crown", "Bundling the Crown", "Legalizing the Crown", "Skillful Scholar Crown" and "Covering the Crown" and applied it to the stage figures. Traditional rock-jumping penguins are worn by queens, concubines and princesses, and women also wear them at weddings. In addition to traditional operas, Yue Opera also wears crests that are not usually worn in other operas. For example, the Princess and Empress in Golden Branch, the Empress in Changle Palace and Meng Lijun in Meng Lijun all changed the crested rockhopper into a forehead shape, or inserted it to expose the hair and put it in a bun, with the positive phoenix as the main part, the side phoenix inserted on both sides, or the opposite phoenix as the main part, and the side phoenix inserted on both sides, and then put "Ruyi", "Single Phoenix" and "Step Shake" on both sides.
