Unit 5 What are the shirts made of?

Lively music, singing and the sound of beating drums fill the room. As an orchestra（管弦乐

队）plays, performers dressed in colorful costumes move across the stage（舞台）. Welcome to

Chinese opera.

Chinese opera is an important element（元素）of Chinese culture. Most operas are based on

stories from long ago. The amazing stage performances are often set against grand backgrounds.

Beautiful paintings, hand movements and martial arts（武术）help tell these famous stories.

There are more than 300 forms of Chinese opera, including Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Yu

Opera, Ge Zai Xi and many other forms. Of all of them, Beijing Opera is the most famous. Beijing

Opera combines（合并）singing, dancing and acrobatics. Instruments such as drums, bells and

cymbals accompany（伴奏）the performances.

Facial design

Traditionally, performers used masks（面具）for their facial design. Today, however,

performers use makeup. They paint colorful designs on their faces. These colors and designs help to

create each character. For example, a brave character has a red face, while a black face means bold. A

yellow and white face represents（代表）someone who is dishonest.

Costumes

Costumes give clues（线索）to the performers’ characters and roles. Audiences（观众）that

are familiar with opera will get to know a story by the masks and costumes. Costumes usually have

many designs and colors. The same costume can be used in different shows, however, it will represent

a different character.

Promoting the arts

Many colleges and schools in China desire（渴望）to keep the art of Chinese opera alive. They

provide an education system for talented students. Applicants（应试者）must pass a written test, an

audition（试镜）and an interview and only the most promising students are accepted to study at

these colleges and schools. Once accepted into the program, students begin a seven-to-twelve-year

journey through the school. After graduation, many go on to work as professional actors on stage or

in the movies.
