Peking opera or Beijing opera is a form of Chinese opera which combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. It arose in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century. The form was extremely popular in the Qing dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. The art form is also preserved in Taiwan (Republic of China), where it is known as Guójù ( literally: "National theatre"). Peking opera features four main types of performers. With their elaborate and colorful costumes, performers are the only focal points on Peking opera's characteristically sparse stage. They use the skills of speech, song, dance, and combat in movements that are symbolic and suggestive, rather than realistic. Above all else, the skill of performers is evaluated according to the beauty of their movements. Performers also adhere to a variety of stylistic conventions that help audiences navigate the plot of the production. The layers of meaning within each movement must be expressed in time with music. . Melodies include arias, fixed-tune melodies, and percussion patterns. The repertoire of Peking opera includes over 1,400 works, which are based on Chinese history, folklore, and, increasingly, contemporary life. Types of facial makeup are a special method of makeup in Chinese traditional operas. Since every historical character or characters of a certain type are provided with a particular facial type, similar to music scores for singing and playing music, such a method of makeup is named "Types of facial makeup". Among all Chinese traditional operas, types of facial makeup in Peking Opera have developed into the most systematic and mature one. Historical characters in Chinese traditional Peking Opera are provided with different types of facial makeup. They can reflect the identity, status, personality and appearance of the characters and therefore can intensify the artistic appeal on stage. As an impressionistic and exaggerated art, types of facial makeup in Peking Opera is featured by painting brows, eyelids and jowls in various patterns such as bat, swallow wing and butterfly wing. Also, it is characterized by portraying facial expressions with exaggerated nasal fossas and lipped fossas. The age can be reflected by the height and shape of "Crow's-feet", temperament by the opening and closing of "Chordal furrow", and personality by different patterns of "Glabella furrow". Additionally, in the types of facial makeup in Peking Opera there exist some invariable images including white-faced Tsao Tsao and black-faced Bao Zheng. The white-faced image symbolizes wickedness and viciousness, while black-faced image stands for equity and selflessness. Due to unchangeable rules in types of facial makeup, personalities of a character with certain facial makeup can be seen from the facial colors and figures. As one of the onstage art techniques, various types of facial makeup in Peking Opera enable the audience to know a character's personality easily and accordingly get more involved in the appreciation of the performance. Thus types of facial makeup enjoy the fame of "Interior Pictures", which is an extremely crack skill of art exclusively existing in Chinese operas. Patterns of theatrical masks have served as a symbol of China. Nowadays, on the market there appear many exquisite and aesthetic commodities and stamps printed with such patterns, which are of high appreciating and collecting values.…

Four handbills showing popular images, two (13.2 x 18.4) are images of characters from Peking Opera and two (12.2 x 16.5cm) depict themes important in Chinese society at the time. Text in traditional Chinese characters. Light even browning, tiny closed tears at margin of one sheet repaired with washi. Very good. Chinese opera characters in the style of traditional woodblock prints were popular in the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period. Handbills of characters from Beijing opera were sold as collectible items that also helped to familiarise people with the characters of different operas; their costumes, make up, weapons and names. In this case there are two characters from the opera ??? on one handbill, and three characters from the opera ??? on the other. Images with social themes also made popular handbills, especially in places such as Tianjin where the influence of foreigners was pronounced. In ???? we see an immortal carrying a peach of longevity surrounded by images of fertility - a young woman and boys carry fruit and flowers, as well as other items symbolic of wealth - a coin, a vase, gold ingots, and so on, probably issued for New Year. The final handbill of the four, ????, tells the tale of a girl of eighteen married to a boy of seven. The Chinese custom of marrying a young boy to an older girl adopted into the family is thus open for discussion - everyone in the image clearly has a different opinion of the situation; from the young husband, the older farmer in the background and the two men in long scholars robes, to the modern young man in a western suit with leather shoes, as well as the girl herself. The practice of adopting a girl to bring up as a future wife for a male child was made illegal in 1949. The text mentions some of the ways in which the girl would be expected to help in her adoptive family's home.…
