*
Beijing opera or Peking opera is a form of traditional Chinese theatre which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century.
**
Facial makeups are a special art in Chinese operas which distinctly show the appearances of different roles as well as their dispositions and moral qualities by means of artistic exaggeration combined with truthful portrayal and symbolism. Facial makeups also serve to express praise or condemnation toward the characters.
***
Different colours such as red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple, green, gold and silver are used for facial makeups. The main colour in a facial makeup symbolizes the disposition of the character.
-Red indicates devotion, courage and uprightness.
-Yellow signifies fierceness, ambition and cool-headedness.
-Blue represents staunchness, fierceness and astuteness.
-White suggests sinisterness, treacherousness, suspiciousness and craftiness.
-Black symbolizes roughness and fierceness.
-Purple stands for uprightness, sophistication and cool-headedness.
-Gold and silver colours are usually used for gods and spirits.
