Preface

The costumes used by opera actors for performance are commonly known as "line heads". During the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has formed a certain system. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the opera costumes formed on the basis of the official costumes of the Ming Dynasty have gradually become complete, mainly including pythons, drapes, leanings, pleats, clothes, kaiji, helmets, boots and shoes, and also have their own specifications in terms of style, pattern, color and so on.

Traditional opera costumes use five colors of red, green, white, black and yellow to express the level of the characters, commonly known as the "upper five colors"; later derived from the dark blue, lake color, pink, bronze, purple, then called "lower five colors". What color the character wears is determined by its status and personality, such as the emperor wearing a yellow python symbolizes the supreme position of power, and the black python of the bao gong indicates a just and upright personality.

In order to promote opera culture and inherit the essence of national art, Mr. Pu Huqin, a first-class actor in Pingliang City, selected more than 80 pieces (sets) of opera costumes collected by his father and son for decades across the country from the collection of more than 800 pieces (sets) of opera costumes painstakingly collected by his father and son for decades across the country, and selected more than 80 pieces (sets) to be compiled into an exhibition for the general audience. May the "Five Colors" add brilliant colors to your Spring Festival, and may you draw the nourishment of cultural self-confidence from the precious treasures of opera art!
