Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Chinese Bangzi Opera is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in Shanxi Province.

It is known for its unique singing style, which involves the use of a bamboo clapper to create a distinctive sound.

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headpieces, with the Laosheng (elderly male) costume being particularly striking.

The costume consists of a long robe with intricate embroidery and a high-crowned hat.

The headpiece, also called the "Laosheng" or "Old Man's Hat," is a large, round cap with a tall brim and a wide brim at the front.

The costume and headpiece are designed to reflect the character's status and personality.

The Laosheng costume is often worn by actors who play elderly characters in Chinese opera.

It is made of silk or other fine fabrics and features intricate embroidery and embellishments.

The headpiece is also made of silk and is often decorated with gold or silver threads.

The Laosheng costume and headpiece are not only functional but also symbolic.

They represent the character's age, wisdom, and authority.

In addition to their physical appearance, the costumes and headpieces also convey the character's personality and social status.

For example, the Laosheng costume may be adorned with symbols of wealth or power, while the headpiece may feature intricate patterns or designs that reflect the character's background or profession.

Overall, the Chinese Bangzi Opera official apparels, costumes, and headpieces are an important part of this traditional art form.

They not only enhance the performers' appearance but also provide insight into the character's identity and social status.
