In Beijing Opera, red is used to depict the loyalty of the characters. What is the reason?

Most of the themes of traditional Chinese opera come from novels, and all kinds of characters in the book have different degrees of artistic exaggeration, such as "the face is as heavy as jujube", "the face is as black as gold", "the leopard's head is surrounded by eyes" or "the face is red and bearded", which all affect the design of hook-faced characters by traditional Chinese opera actors.

When it comes to Facebook, everyone is familiar. It's gorgeous and strong. It is not only a symbol of China's traditional culture, but also applied to fashion elements by many designers and spread all over the world. In fact, authentic facial makeup is not noisy, it is the cicada slough of Peking Opera and a living fossil of history.

By the theater of Huguang Guild Hall, accompanied by melodious music, listening to the origin explained by Mr. Fu, 82, and recalling the past of the pear garden made my feelings more profound and profound.

Master Fu listened to the drama all his life, painted his face all his life and enjoyed it for decades. He collected, arranged and drew more than 1000 faces, many of which were lost in the traditional "cold play". Because of his search and inheritance, future generations have the opportunity to see these precious artistic images. He said that the living fossils of Beijing opera should be sorted out and preserved, and he hoped to do such things more often in his lifetime.

There is a lot of knowledge in Peking Opera masks, and the color alone is very particular: red symbolizes loyalty, courage and justice, such as Guan Yu; Black symbolizes frankness and recklessness, such as Zhang Fei; Water white symbolizes suspicion and cunning, such as Cao Cao; Yellow symbolizes courage, such as Dian Wei; Blue symbolizes fortitude, such as Dou Erdun; Green symbolizes stubbornness, like the green-faced tiger Xu Shiying ... "

At that time, he didn't make any mistakes among the four famous actors. In particular, I have seen Borrowing China by Ma, Tan, Yan, Yan, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng and Ye Shenglan, and the three cooperative dramas performed by Liyuan in the concert hall of Zhongshan Park in the 1950s.

Including, Xi Xiaobo, Chen Shaoshuang, Tan and Ma, they are all "four lang visiting mothers" ... "These artists with perfect skills sing together, and the wonderful degree can be imagined. It can really be said that this song should only be in the sky! "
