Facial makeup is a painting on the faces of traditional opera actors in China, which is used as a cosmetic plastic art in stage performances. Facebook has different situations for different industries. The facial makeup of "Sheng" and "Dan" is simple and slightly pink, which is called "handsome makeup", "plain face" and "cleansing".

However, the facial makeup of "Jingxing" and "Ugly Xing" is more complicated, especially Jingxing, both of which have a lot of complicated patterns, so they are called "painting faces". Facial makeup in Chinese drama mainly refers to clean facial makeup. And "ugly", because it played a dramatic role, put a small piece of white powder on the bridge of the nose, commonly known as Xiaohua face.

The color application of Facebook has certain content and significance, and it is the main factor to express the character. There is a song like this: blue-faced Dou Erdun steals horses, red-faced Guan Gong fights Changsha, yellow-faced Dian Wei, white-faced Cao Cao and black-faced Zhang Fei chirps. ...

First, the white face Cao Cao

White face: Most of them are sinister and have ulterior motives.

The famous novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrays Cao Cao as a vicious and treacherous schemer and traitor. Later, the story in Romance of the Three Kingdoms was put on the stage of drama, which made Cao Cao's notoriety a household name, so his face was always white on the stage.

Second, the black-faced Zhang Fei and Bao Gong

Black face: stands for integrity, fortitude, courage and recklessness.

The black-faced image of Zhang Fei also originated from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Fei in the novel really conforms to the character expressed by the black face. Bao Gong's black face is different from Zhang Fei's, probably because he needs to show Bao Gong's integrity and fortitude, which is different from other black-faced figures' bravery and recklessness.

Third, the red-faced Guan Yu

Red face: it symbolizes loyalty, frankness, courage and blood, and is mostly a positive role.

Guan Yu is described as a warrior in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is a model of loyalty. He is brave and bloody, and it is natural for Guan Yu to use red in his face.

Facebook can only represent the image and personality of traditional Chinese opera characters, but can't fully and truly represent historical figures. It is incorrect to evaluate any historical figure simply by saying that he is a good person or a bad person, just like evaluating Cao Cao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
