Peach Blossom Temple Chinese Ping Opera Laosheng Costumes and Headwear Pingju Opera Old Servant Apparels Clothing Pingju opera, also known as Peking opera, is a traditional form of Chinese theater that originated in Beijing during the Qing dynasty.

It combines singing, dancing, martial arts, and acrobatics to tell stories from Chinese history and mythology.

The art form has been passed down for generations and continues to be popular today.

One of the most distinctive features of Pingju opera is its elaborate costumes and headwear.

The Laosheng (Old Servant) character is often portrayed wearing a long robe with a high collar and a wide brim hat.

The costume is made of silk or other fine materials and is adorned with intricate embroidery and patterns.

The headwear, such as the changpao (a type of hat), is also carefully crafted and often decorated with feathers or other embellishments.

The Laosheng character is known for his wisdom, humor, and loyalty.

He is often portrayed as a kind-hearted man who helps others and stands up for justice.

His costume and headwear reflect these qualities, with the long robe symbolizing his status as an elder and the changpao hat representing his sense of humor and playfulness.

In addition to the Laosheng character, there are many other characters in Pingju opera, each with their own unique costumes and headwear.

These include the chuanqiu (warrior), jinghu (police officer), and huangdi (emperor).

Each character's costume and headwear are designed to reflect their personality, occupation, and social status.

Pingju opera is not only a form of entertainment but also an important cultural heritage.

Its costumes and headwear are not only beautiful but also have deep symbolic meanings.

They represent the values and traditions of Chinese society and serve as a reminder of the rich history and culture of this great nation.
