The Shaanxi Opera Masks are made by the facial makeup of Shaanxi Opera.
In the opera performance, the different greasepaints colored on the
faces of the performers stand for different characters, for instance,
red for loyalty; black for righteousness, impertinence or intrepidity;
yellow for atrocity; blue and green for hotspurs; white for treacherous
court officials and baddies. The Shaanxi Opera Masks are not only kinds
of artful and exquisite handicraft articles but the rare data for
studying the art of Shaanxi Opera and folk customs and practices.
