Introduction and origin of Facebook

brief introduction

Facebook is a painting on the faces of traditional opera actors in China, which is used as a cosmetic plastic art in stage performances. Different occupations of Facebook have different situations. The facial makeup of "Sheng" and "Dan" is simple and slightly pink, which is called "handsome makeup", "plain face" and "cleansing".

However, the facial painting of "clean line" and "ugly line" is more complicated, especially the clean line, which is called "face painting" because of its extensive application of oil paints and complex patterns. Facial makeup in Chinese drama mainly refers to clean facial makeup. And "ugly", because it played a dramatic role, put a small piece of white powder on the bridge of the nose, commonly known as Xiaohua face.

origin

There are several theories about the origin of stage masks. One is a musical drama that originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Also called bedding face or bedding face. It is a man's solo dance that praises the merits and virtues of the warrior Lan Ling. It is said that Gao Changgong, the warrior Lan Ling, is brave and good at fighting, and looks like a woman. Every time I went out, I wore an evil mask, and I won many battles.

People created men's solo dances to praise the warrior Lan Ling, and they also wore masks. Sketching masks on the stage by traditional Chinese opera actors is helpful to improve the character, appearance and status of the roles they play, realize rich stage colors and beautify the stage. The stage mask is the harmonious unity of thoughts and impressions in people's minds.
