“Lian pu”(脸谱)

“Lian pu”(脸谱) in Chinese opera is the operatic art of painting the faces of actors to enhance the characters’ roles in the story.

Our Year 6 students learned about the culture of jing ju /Peking opera (京剧）and the significance behind various colours of “lian pu”. They then went on to paint their own Peking opera masks!
