The barrel-shaped ceramic holder is permanently attached to the stand and turns easily. The Chinese opera is one of the oldest known dramatic art forms worldwide. At a certain period, this internationally renowned as China’s form of musical theater and drama has been encouraged by then court emperors and officials, and thus has become a customary art form. Historically, there can be various regional spin-offs of opera with distinctive dynastic periods as its initial root. Chinese opera mask is basically among the main methods, which performers use as makeup. Since opera masks are used in representing various human emotions, the frequent on-stage change of facial expressions therefore makes the opera masks an ideal technique. Audiences may hardly even notice this “changing faces” technique.
