[2025如皋市石庄初级中学模拟]Have you ever thought that an actor can change his face on stage in the blink of an eye? It's not just an amazing performance skill, but also the secret weapon(武器) of Sichuan Opera.
The "face-changing" skill in Sichuan Opera is very special. It actually comes from the wisdom of ancient people. Long ago, people painted different patterns(图案) on their faces to scare off(吓跑) wild animals and keep themselves safe. Over time, this method has turned into a performance skill in drama.
You can see the actor's face suddenly change to red, white, or blue. These changes are not done randomly(随机地). They have deep meanings, and they allow the audience(观众) to feel the character's happiness, anger, sadness, or nervousness. So, how does the actor do the face-changing? There are three methods of face-changing in Sichuan Opera: smearing(涂抹), blowing, and pulling the face. Each method is very interesting.
"Smearing the face" is the easiest method. The actor smears coloured paints on his face. With just a quick smear, the face colour changes quickly, showing a different expression.
Next is "blowing the face". The actor uses a small box filled with gold powder(粉末), silver powder, and other fine powders. Standing by the box, he makes a dance move and blows the powder onto his face, and his face quickly changes to a new one.
Lastly, "pulling the face" is the most complicated(复杂的) one. The actor paints different face patterns on silk cloth, ties them with thread, and hides them in his clothes. As the story develops, he pulls the face off one by one and puts on a new one.
Face-changing is not only the symbol of Sichuan Opera, but also an important part of Sichuan's culture. So, next time you watch a Sichuan Opera performance, try to pay attention to the actor's face, and see how he cleverly changes his face to show different feelings.
