B 传统文化
Beijing Opera is a traditional form of Chinese culture. In Beijing Opera, each character has their face painted in a specific(特定的) way. By looking at face-painting, the audience(观众) can know who the good guy is and who the bad guy is.
Where did this kind of face-painting come from? An old story told us that it had something to do with Warrior Lanling. Warrior Lanling was one of the four most handsome men in ancient China. Some soldiers in his army thought that he was weak because of his good-looking face. Therefore, to make himself look more powerful, he wore a mask with an ugly face painted on it.
Another story about face-painting was related to Li Longji, an emperor in the Tang Dynasty. He loved opera very much. One day, a clown actor(丑角) fell ill right before a performance. The emperor decided to play this role himself. He covered his face with a piece of white square jade(玉) so that others wouldn’t be able to recognize(认出) him. Since then, clown actors have continued to paint white squares on their faces.
As time goes by, face-painting is used to show the personalities(个性) of different roles. It has become one of the special art forms of Beijing Opera.

B 传统文化
京剧是中国文化的一种传统形式。在京剧中，每个角色的脸都会以特定的方式被绘制。通过看脸谱，观众可以知道谁是好人，谁是坏人。
这种脸谱是从哪里来的呢？一个古老的故事告诉我们，它与兰陵王有关。兰陵王是中国古代四大美男子之一。他军队里的一些士兵因为他英俊的脸庞而认为他很软弱。因此，为了让自己看起来更有威严，他戴上了一个画着丑陋面孔的面具。
另一个关于脸谱的故事与唐朝皇帝李隆基有关。他非常喜欢戏曲。有一天，一个丑角演员在演出前突然生病了。皇帝决定自己扮演这个角色。他用一块白色的方形玉遮住脸，这样别人就认不出他了。从那以后，丑角演员就一直在脸上画白色的方块。
随着时间的推移，脸谱被用来展现不同角色的个性。它已经成为京剧的一种特殊艺术形式。
