I come from America and I have lived in China for six years. I like Beijing Opera very much. I think Beijing Opera is very interesting. I can learn a lot about Chinese history from it.
In Beijing Opera, we can often see faces in different colors. For example, Bao Zheng always has a black face and Guan Yu always has a red face in Beijing Opera. Do you know why? Now let me tell you something about the art of Beijing Opera facial paintings(脸谱).
In Beijing Opera facial paintings, different colors are for different people. For example, a black face is for fair(公正的) people. A red face
is for brave (勇敢的) people. A white face is for bad people.
