The opera's colorful costumes and intricate headpieces are a significant part of its aesthetic appeal.

One of the most iconic characters in Beijing Opera is the court eunuch Gao Lishi, who is often portrayed wearing a green garment with a red cap.

This costume is known for its bright colors and bold patterns, which make it stand out among other characters in the opera.

The green garment is made of silk or cotton and is adorned with intricate embroidery and embellishments.

The red cap is also made of silk or cotton and is usually decorated with gold thread or sequins.

Gao Lishi's costume reflects his status as a powerful figure in the imperial court.

He was often portrayed as a cunning and manipulative character who used his intelligence and influence to gain favor with the emperor.

His green garment symbolizes his power and authority, while the red cap represents his ambition and desire for success.

In addition to Gao Lishi's costume, there are many other characters in Beijing Opera who wear unique headpieces.

These headpieces are designed to enhance the character's appearance and personality.

They can be made of various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic, and can be decorated with intricate patterns and designs.

Some headpieces even have movable parts that allow the actor to move them around their face during performances.

Overall, Beijing Opera's colorful costumes and intricate headpieces are a testament to the artistry and creativity of its performers.

They not only enhance the visual appeal of the opera but also reflect the historical and cultural significance of this traditional art form.
