Features: Facial makeup (lianshu) is a unique character portrayal technique and style in Chinese opera, typically used for the facial makeup of roles such as the Jing, Chou, and Hongsheng. Due to its distinctive ethnic style, diverse patterns, vibrant colors, and strong exaggeration, it has entered the fields of pure painting, sculpture, paper-cutting, and weaving, becoming a subject of creation for various artists and a work of appreciation for the public. Conducting an in-depth exploration of the formation and development of this highly ethnic facial makeup art, as well as its artistic phenomena and characteristics, holds significant meaning. This book is a notable work in the study of facial makeup.
