Chinese opera costume
Stage clothes used in Chinese opera / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xifu (Chinese: 戏服; pinyin: xìfú), also known as Chinese opera costume in English, are the stage clothes and attire worn in Chinese opera, such as Kunqu, Cantonese opera, Beijing opera, Huangmei opera.[1] Some of these costumes bear some resemblance to the Hanfu system but also show some differences in terms of clothing ornaments and decorations, as well as colour system, and in design and construction.[1] In 2006, the techniques used to produce Beijing opera costumes were included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.[2]
