中國(guó)戲曲 Chinese Opera

在中國(guó)，戲曲是一種很流行的戲劇形式，一般來(lái)說(shuō)，可以追溯到唐朝時(shí)期，當(dāng)時(shí)的皇帝唐玄宗創(chuàng)立了“梨園”。如今，許多外國(guó)人也很喜歡中國(guó)的戲曲。最吸引他們的則是戲曲的獨(dú)有風(fēng)格—畫(huà)臉譜，它不僅是戲曲中的一大亮點(diǎn)，同時(shí)還要求獨(dú)特的繪畫(huà)技藝。每個(gè)演員臉上夸張的扮相代表其扮演角色的性格和命運(yùn)。熟知戲曲的觀眾通過(guò)觀察演員的臉譜和服裝就可以知道角色背后的故事。通常，紅色臉譜代表忠誠(chéng)與勇敢;黑色代表兇猛;黃色和白色代表口是心非;金色和銀色代表神秘。7對(duì)于中國(guó)人，特別是老年人，欣賞戲曲是他們的一大樂(lè)趣。

Chinese opera is a popular form of drama in China. In general, it dates back to the Tang Dynasty with Emperor Xuanzong, who founded the “Pear Garden”. Now Chinese opera is warmly welcomed by many foreign people. What appeals foreigners most might be the distinctive style of facial make-up, which is one of the highlights and requires distinctive techniques of painting. Exaggerated designs are painted on each performer''''''''s face to symbolize a character''''''''s personality, and fate. Audiences who are familiar with opera can know the story by observing the facial painting as well as the costumes. Generally, a red face represents loyalty and bravery; a black face, rough ; yellow and white faces, duplicity; and golden and silver faces, mystery. For Chinese, especially older folks, to listen to opera is a real pleasure.
