Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Cao Cao, the legendary Chinese emperor and military strategist, is a prominent figure in Chinese history.

His contributions to the development of the country's political and military systems have been widely recognized.

The character of Cao Pi, one of his most famous sons, has also become an iconic symbol of loyalty and bravery in Chinese culture.

The Peking Opera, a traditional form of Chinese theater that originated in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), has been performing Cao Cao's story for centuries.

The opera showcases various aspects of Chinese culture, including music, dance, acrobatics, and martial arts.

The costumes worn by the performers are intricate and colorful, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the imperial court.

One of the most important pieces of equipment used in Peking Opera is the martial male garment, also known as "Takefu" armor.

This piece of clothing is designed to protect the performer while also enhancing their appearance on stage.

It consists of a long robe with a high collar and a wide belt that wraps around the waist.

The Takefu armor is often adorned with intricate patterns and designs, such as dragons or phoenixes, which symbolize strength and good fortune.

In addition to the martial male garment, other important pieces of equipment include headpieces, which are worn on top of the Takefu armor.

These headpieces can vary in style and design, but they all serve to enhance the performer's appearance and add to the overall effect of their performance.

Some headpieces may feature elaborate feathers or jewels, while others may be more simple and functional.

Overall, the use of these pieces of equipment in Peking Opera reflects the importance of aesthetics and presentation in Chinese culture.

They not only enhance the performers' physical appearance but also contribute to the overall atmosphere and mood of the performance.

Through their intricate designs and vibrant colors, these pieces of equipment help to transport audiences back in time to a world of emperors, warriors, and legends.
