With exaggeratedand distorted patterns, they carry informationconcerning the personalities of the characters,with the function of “distinguishing good andevil characters and conveying judgments.”

脸谱，泛指净、丑行当的涂面化妆，是具有民族特色的一种特殊的化妆方法。通过运用夸张和变形的图案来展示角色的性格特征，具有“辨忠奸、寓褒贬、别善恶”的功能。

The common colors used in the facial patternsof Peking opera include red, white, black,green, blue, yellow, purple, gold, etc. Colors areused according to characters’ personalities andtemperaments. For instance, red suggestsloyalty, righteousness and valor; white suggeststreacherousness and cunningness; blacksuggests fortitude, straightforwardness orrashness and sincerity, or uprightness,fair-mindedness and honesty; green suggestschivalry and forthrightness; blue suggestsvaliance and unruliness; yellow suggestshot-temperedness, toughness or craftiness;purple suggests steadiness, prudence andsolemnity; and gold suggests stateliness andmajesty, typically applied to immortal orBuddhist roles.

京剧脸谱常用的颜色有红、白、黑、绿、蓝、黄、紫、金等。一般均按人物的品格、性情用色：红表示忠义、勇武；白表示奸诈、多谋；黑表示刚毅、耿直或粗莽、诚挚，又表示铁面无私、公正刚直；绿表示侠义、豪爽；蓝表示骁勇

、桀骜不驯；黄表示暴烈、骠悍或工于心计；紫表示稳健、持重、静穆；金表示庄严、威武，为神佛人物。

The roles on the Chinese opera stage fall intofour categories—Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.These roles have the natural features of ageand sex, as well as social status, and areartificially exaggerated by makeup, costumeand gestures.

battle scenes. Wu Sheng roles call for sturdyand vigorous actions, with resoundingdeclamations. The movements of the waistand legs are powerful, and a high level of mar-tial art skills is demanded in these roles. WuSheng roles use short-handled weapons, andtheir movements are light and swift.

"生"，一般指剧中扮演男子的演员，其中又可细分为"老生"、"小生"和"武生"。"老生"，顾名思义就是中老年男子角色，在剧中多扮演正直刚毅的人物形象，与老生相对应的是“小生”，在京剧中指青少年男子角色，他们在剧中的动作造型儒雅倜傥、秀逸飞动。“武生”是指扮演剧中年轻的男性武将，他们用高超的武打技术来展示剧中人物的武艺高强。不重演唱，注重武打动作的娴熟和技巧的难度。

Zheng Dan was the main Dan rolein Peking opera. Zheng Dan refers to youngor middle-aged women with gentle andrefined dispositions. Most of Zheng Dan’slines are delivered in song, and even the

spoken parts are recited in rhythmic style.They always dress in a blue gown, thus alsogiven the name Qing Yi (blue clothes).

Wu Dan always wears shortrobes and the role emphasizes acrobatics. LaoDan usually represents aged women. Cai Dan,also called Chou Dan, represents clownishand cunning females.

京剧中把女性统称为"旦"，其中按照人物的年龄、性格又可细分为许多行当，饰演大家闺秀和有身份的妇女称为"正旦"，正旦在京剧中俗称"青衣"，这就是因为正旦所扮演的角色常穿青色的长衫而得名。青衣的表演庄重娴静，秀雅柔婉，以唱功为主，一般说来，青衣的唱腔旋律优美，细腻婉转。旦行中的"花旦"，多扮演天真活泼或放荡泼辣的青衣妇女，在表演上注重做工和念白。"武旦"和"刀马旦"相当于生行中的武生,扮演的是擅长武艺的青壮年妇女,装扮和武生差不多,也扎靠服,她们多在剧中扮演女侠、女将甚至女仙、女妖等。武旦和刀马旦的表演往往还伴随着热闹的锣鼓点,烘托场上的气氛。"老旦",指在剧中扮演老年妇女的角色行当。为突出老年人的特点,走路迈一种沉稳的横八字步,服装色调为色彩偏暗的秋香色、墨绿色,演唱用真声表现。
