Hello! Do you happen to have a post on costumes for traditional Chinese operas like Peking operas, Kunqu or Yueju? I imagine they would be stage wears that were different than daily wears even back in the day? Thanks.

Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (kunqu image via)

Yes, Chinese opera costumes (戏服/xifu), as stagewear, were/are different than daily wear.

There are posts on costumes for traditional Chinese operas here:

Do Chinese opera costumes count as hanfu? 

What type of clothing do Beijing opera actors wear?

Are Chinese opera costumes based on hanfu to some extent?

I also have Chinese opera and opera costume tags with more information, as well as tags for specific types of Chinese opera including beijing opera (jingju), kunqu, and yueju.

Hope this helps!

I scanned this picture because I’m afraid that chances of f*cking it up in the process of colouring are bigger than zero.

Hey turns out I’m incredibly lazy so I haven’t finished my translation yet but here’s a translated opera from the same channel I got my untranslated one from. This is relatively short compared to a lot of other ones. This is The Empty City Stratagem (空城计 [Kōng Chéng Jì]). This is the second part of a three part opera called 失空斩 (Shī Kōng Zhǎn), however it stands on its own and doesn’t really need the other parts to completely understand. This story comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most famous work of Classical Chinese literature. The story is about the strategist Zhuge Liang coming up with a plan to prevent general Sima Yi from capturing the city of Xicheng. I won’t spoil the idea he comes up with but you can probably guess it from the title. If you’ve got a spare 50 minutes and need something to watch I highly recommend this opera. It’s one of the many I’ve compiled into a playlist on my YouTube channel that’s linked in my bio.
