At that time, I had always admired my fellow Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong, but I had never had the opportunity to get acquainted. Until this year, nearly ten years later, in order to make a "Qin Cavity Face Poker Exhibition Collection", I suddenly wanted to contact Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong, and after several twists and turns, I asked Mr. Li Chun, the founder of "Tu Shu Gangu", about his contact information. After getting in touch, he was ecstatic and finally met Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong, a famous inheritor of the Qin Cavity who had been worshipped for many years.
Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong
Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong is an excellent Qin actor and director who is eclectic and versatile, he is skilled, diligent and studious, and has a deep theoretical foundation in opera, and has won many national and provincial awards. While working the stage and seeking art hard, he is also a person who concentrates on and is obsessed with the collection, collation and research of Qin Cavity face art. For more than 30 years, he has used various opportunities and leisure time to run around the land of Qinlong, visit famous teachers, visit famous artists, seriously excavate and collect all kinds of Qin Cavity Faces, and use the painting skills he has trained since childhood, with the spirit of dedication to Qin Cavity Faces, condensing his years of painstaking efforts, in February 2011, he compiled and published the first fine work of "China Qin Cavity Faces".
Qin Cavity is one of the ancient local drama genres in China, the originator of Zizi opera, which has been circulating in the western region for a long time and has a profound cultural heritage and mass foundation. For hundreds of years, Qin cavity art has always been an important form for the people of the western region to meet their aesthetic needs, vent their emotions, cultivate their sentiments, and pin their ideals on life. For a long time, the "Roaring Qin Cavity" has always been a unique and strange scenery on the Loess Plateau, and many ordinary people in the west have shaped and formed a unique temperament and endowment in the influence of Qin Cavity art. In a sense, the Qin Cavity can be called a symbol of western culture, but also a concentrated embodiment of the character of the people in the west, and the rugged, masculine, majestic and deep beauty of the western region condensed in it is unforgettable and infinite reverie.

Mr. Zhang Jiangzhong compiled the "Chinese Qin Cavity Face", collected and excavated a large number of Qin Cavity Face Atlases, many of which are painted by the famous Qin Cavity Face Masters in Shaanxi and Gansu and his own creations during their daily performances, which have high historical value and artistic value, in terms of quantity and content, it can be called the Qin Cavity Face Encyclopedia, and its publication will certainly provide valuable information for the development of Qin Cavity art, and will play a huge role in inheriting the ancient Qin Cavity art and protecting the intangible cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

Qin Lu has a long history and a variety of deeds. Formed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty (during the reign of Emperor Zhengde of The Ming Dynasty), it has a history of more than 500 years and has become one of the four major cavities in China. Historical records record: During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Wei Changsheng (nicknamed Wei San), the famous Head of the Qin Dynasty in Sichuan Jintang, led his disciples into Beijing to perform, which caused a sensation in the capital for a while, thus opening up the "Dispute of Flowers and Ya" in the capital for more than 200 years, and the Qin Cavity was once pushed to the position of "Ally Lord of the Drama World", which had a major impact on the formation of Peking Opera, especially the Qin Opera repertoire, plate style (Xipi Flowing Water) and face and makeup.

According to historical records, the music and dance programs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties (420-907 AD) had "kamen-shaming songs and dances". The Old Book of Tang and Music Records records that "the large face came from Northern Qi, and the king of Northern Qi lanling, Gao Changgong, often wore a mask to fight against the enemy." Historical records also record that the face genealogy is the gradual evolution of the mask worn by the music and dance face of the Tang Dynasty and the clean face of the military drama.
Due to the different regions where the Qin Cavity originated, the Qin Cavity face mask is also colorful and different in style. In Shaanxi, it is divided into the East Road style (centered on the Weinan region), the Middle Road style (centered on Xi'an), the West Road style (centered on the Baoji area), the South Road style (centered on the Hanzhong region), and the four-way style has also been formed in Gansu, namely the Longdong style (centered on Pingliang and Qingyang), the Longnan style (centered on Tianshui), the Longzhong style (centered on Dingxi), and the Lanzhou "Geng" school. The Qin Opera repertoire is vast, and there was once a recipe for "Tang Sanqian, Han Eight Hundred, and Three Nations That Can't Be Performed". According to the statistics of the China Qin Cavity Museum (Lanzhou Museum), there are now more than 3200 Qin operas (excluding shadow puppets and puppet plays), and a considerable part of the plays have been lost and cannot be verified.
Qin Cavity face mask is a special means of stage costume, he can mark the appearance, character, identity and age of the opera stage characters, and has the effect of auxiliary performance and exaggerated characters, which can distinguish between good and evil, defend loyalty and adultery, beautify the stage characters, and enhance the audience's aesthetics. With its unique artistic charm, Qin Cavity Face mask has long been sublimated into a folk art work, which is appreciated by both elegant and customary.
