Artistic & Historical Background:  Listen
Chinese traditional opera headwear is an indispensable part of ancient Chinese theatrical art.
It carries rich cultural connotations and historical significance, representing the essence of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
These exquisite headwear are usually made of silk, gold and silver threads, and beads, with unique designs and craftsmanship.
They not only provide protection for the eyes of the actors, but also serve as decorations and enhance the image of the characters.
In ancient China, Beijing Opera was a very popular art form that attracted countless audiences.
The design and production of Beijing Opera headwear were very particular, with each character having their own unique headwear.
These headwear were usually chosen based on the character's personality, status, and age, using different colors, patterns, and materials.
For example, the headwear of the emperor was usually golden, adorned with gemstones and pearls; while the headwear of ordinary people were mostly plain, with colors such as black, white, or gray.
In addition to Beijing Opera, other traditional Chinese operas also have similar headwear.
For example, in Kunqu Opera, the "Hua Dan" (female role) often wears red-toned headwear adorned with various flowers and bowknots; while in Yueju Opera, the "Qingyi" (female role) wears blue-toned headwear embroidered with various floral patterns.
These headwear are all important components of traditional Chinese culture, representing the Chinese people's pursuit of beauty and passion for art.
