Chinese Opera
Q: I would like to know how the Chinese Opera Mask came to be, and I would also like to get some information on Chinese people too.
A: hope this might help...
it'll be more specific if you can google it in chinese...
saw some on cabel recently, what are, if any, the meanings of the different faces and colors, the "strange" way of moving, can you give me a little background or history?
The dramatic escape of Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese lawyer who was held in his house illegally for 19 months even after he was released from prison, upset Beijing’s and Washington’s best-laid plans for the strategic and economic dialogue held last week. How China responded was instructive, particularly after Chen sought the help of the American embassy. How the US handled the issue will be a case study in international relations seminars for years to come.
But this, we know: in a normal country, people who have served out their jail term are free to lead normal lives and aren’t placed under house arrest. In a normal country, the lawyer escaping from his illegal detention would turn to his own authorities, and not foreigners, for help. In a normal country, those who helped the lawyer escape wouldn’t disappear.
I think those mask look really cool. But, since they are technically "opera mask", is it really appropriate to wear them in Halloween?
