Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Xi Ma Qiao Chinese Yue Opera, also known as Shaoxing Opera, is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the city of Shaoxing.

It is renowned for its exquisite costumes and headwear, which are designed to reflect the characters' personalities and social status.

The Laosheng costume, worn by elderly male characters, is particularly noteworthy for its intricate embroidery and vibrant colors.

The Laosheng costume consists of a long robe with a high collar, a wide sash tied around the waist, and a pair of loose pants.

The robe is often adorned with intricate patterns and designs, such as dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures.

The sash is made of silk or cotton and is usually tied at the waist with a bow.

The pants are made of soft fabric and are often decorated with intricate embroidery or appliques.

In addition to the Laosheng costume, Shaoxing Opera also features a variety of headwear, including hats, masks, and wigs.

These items are designed to enhance the character's appearance and convey their personality traits.

For example, a hat may be worn by a character who is confident and powerful, while a mask may be worn by a character who is mysterious or enigmatic.

Shaoxing Opera has a rich history dating back over 400 years and has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.

Its popularity has spread throughout China and beyond, with performances held in theaters and festivals around the world.

Today, Shaoxing Opera continues to inspire new generations of artists and audiences alike, preserving this unique art form for future generations to enjoy.
