京剧脸谱，是具有民族特色的一种特殊的化妆方法。由于每个历史人物或某一种类型的人物都有一种大概的谱式，就像唱歌、奏乐都要按照乐谱一样，所以称为“脸谱”。关于脸谱的来源，一般的说法是来自假面具。

京剧脸谱，是根据某种性格、性情或某种特殊类型的人物为采用某些色彩的。红色有脸谱表示忠勇士义烈，如关羽、姜维、常遇春；黑色的脸谱表示刚烈、正直、勇猛甚至鲁莽，如包拯、张飞、李逵等；黄色的脸谱表示凶狠残暴，如宇文成都、典韦。蓝色或绿色的脸谱表示一些粗豪暴躁的人物，如窦尔敦、马武等；白色的脸谱一般表示奸臣、坏人，如曹操、赵高等。

京剧脸谱的色画方法，基本上分为三类：揉脸、抹脸、勾脸。脸谱最初的作用，只是夸大剧中角色的五官部位和面部的纹理，用夸张的手法表现剧中人的性格、心理和生理上的特征，以此来为整个戏剧的情节服务，可是发展到后来，脸谱由简到繁、由粗到细、由表及里、由浅到深，本身就逐渐成为一种具有民族特色的、以人的面部为表现手段的图案艺术了。

京剧，是中国的传统艺术。它起源于1840年，盛行于20世纪三、四十年代，是中国的国粹。京剧的伴奏是以二胡等为主，配合演员唱腔、念白、动作、武打，达到音乐美与舞蹈美的统一。京剧耐人寻味，回味悠长，把各种故事、道理融入一段段表演中，让人在美的享受的同时，得到升华。可是，在节奏日益加快的今天，京剧已被大家渐渐漠视、遗忘。这是让人心疼的事情。我们应该提高对京剧的认识，多多接触传统，让孩子们熟悉它，热爱它，让它重新绽放迷人的生命。

Beijing Opera, is a traditional Chinese art.It originated in 1840, prevailed in the 1930s and 1940s, is the quintessence of Chinese culture.Peking Opera on the erhu, and give priority to, accompanied with actor singing, NianBai, action, the martial arts, achieve music beauty and dance beautiful unity.Beijing Opera intriguing, the aftertaste is long, all sorts of stories, reasonable performance in bits and pieces, let a person be in beautiful enjoyment at the same time, get distillation.But, in rhythm of rapidly today, Peking Opera has been gradually ignore, forgetting all.This is to let people love of things.We should improve the understanding of Beijing Opera, great contact traditional, let the children know it, love it, let it back to blossom glamorous life.Beijing Opera is a Chinese historial artical opara, which is a combination of singing,saying,dancing and martial art.It's the quintessence of China.Peking Opera has a 200-year-long history.Its main melodies originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei.It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera underwent fast development during the reign of Emperor Qianlong and the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi under the imperial patron, eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.In ancient times, Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air, teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly, the

performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone.The costumes were a garish collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the dim stage illuminated only by oil lamps.Peking Opera is a

harmonious combination of the Grand Opera, ballet and acrobatics, consisting of dance, dialogue, monologues, martial arts and mime.The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion band.The former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes.The commonly used percussion

Qipao(Ch'ipau)is one of the most typical, traditional costumes for Chinese women.Also known as cheongsam, it is like a wonderful flower in the Chinese colorful fashion scene because of its particular charm.In the early 17th century in North China, Nurhachi, a great political and military strategist, unified the various Nuzhen tribes and set up the Eight Banner System.Later he led his troops into Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.Over the years, a collarless tube-shaped gown was developed, which was worn by men and women.This is the embryo of the Qipao.It became popular among the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty and the mansions of the Manchu nobility.At that time, it was loosely fitted and long enough to reach the insteps.Usually it was made of silk, and embroidered, with broad laces trimmed at the collar, sleeves and edges.The dress empresses of past dynasties wore them.Their style of dress was regarded as the highest of standards for Chinese women for several thousand years.The only medium to display the elegance of a human body is an elegant

costume.Whatever costume a woman wears, in addition to magnificence and nobility, she must have a thirst for elegance or beauty.Perhaps that's the reason why Qipao was born.In the past, the collar of the costume was made high and tight-fitting to keep warm.Qipao has incorporated this feature, not just for preventing coldness but also for beauty.The collar of Qipao generally takes the shape of a semicircle, its right and left sides being symmetrical, flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman.The collar of Qipao is meticulously made, especially the buttonhole loop on the collar, which serves as the finishing touch.We can't help but admire the designers' artistic originality.The design of the front of Qipao depicts the maturity of women properly, reminding people of the line of a

Chinese poem 'A garden full of the beauty of spring can not be prevented from being enjoyed.'

Qipao generally has two big slits at either side of the hem for convenient

movement and display of the slender legs of women.Unlike a short-length skirt, the slits of Qipao expose a woman's legs indistinctly when she walks, as if there was a blurred emotional appeal of 'enjoying flowers in mist.'

Qipaos can display Chinese women's modesty, softness and beauty.Like Chinese women's temperament, Qipaos are elegant and gentle.Like other costumes, the beauty of Qipao comes first.Simplicity is one of its features from the collar, loop, chest, waist and hips to the lower hem, and a Qipao almost varies with a woman's figure.It not only lays stress on the natural beauty of a female figure, but also makes women's legs appear more slender.Mature women in Qipaos can display their graceful refined manner.Besides its simplicity, Qipao provides designers with vast, creative space: some short, some long, with low, high, or even no collars at all.Practicality always goes with beauty.Qipaos are worn in both urban and rural areas, its long-standing elegance and serenity making wearers fascinating.When wearing Qipao, women should pay attention to the match as a whole;particularly middle-aged or elderly women should do so.Hairstyles, jewelry, socks and shoes should match Qipaos properly in color and design.Today, with the development of the market economy in China, designs or

styles of fashions are so dazzling as the stars that the eye cannot take them all in.As a result, people are often at a loss what to choose when facing the vast sea of fashions.On the other hand, it is just a golden opportunity for Chinese national costumes to regain their popularity.Fashion culture has become a point of intersection of social culture, reflecting economic developments, social progress and educational level.It represents people's spirit, living standards and aspirations towards beauty.纽约时报旗袍

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.The name “cheongsam,” meaning simply “long dress,” entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province(Cantonese).In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as “qipao”, which has a history behind it.When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into “banners”(qi)and called them “banner people”(qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus.The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called “qipao” or “banner dress.” Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the

Qing(Manchu)Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure.Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste.The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.The cheongsam is not too complicated to make.Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions.In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness.No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.以下这篇关于中国旗袍的完整介绍内容，应值得你参考：

第五篇：远大前程英文介绍

The story is divided into three phases of Pip's life expectations.The first

“expectation” is allotted 19 chapters, and the other two 20 chapters each in the 59-chapter work.In some editions, the chapter numbering reverts to Chapter One in each expectation, but the original publication and most modern editions number the chapters consecutively from one to 59.At the end of chapters 19 and 39, readers are formally notified that they have reached the conclusion of a phase of Pip's expectations.In the first expectation, Pip lives a humble existence with his ill-tempered older sister and her strong but gentle husband, Joe Gargery.Pip is satisfied with this life and his warm friends until he is hired by an embittered wealthy woman, Miss Havisham, as an occasional companion to her and her beautiful but haughty adopted daughter, Estella.From that time on, Pip aspires to leave behind his simple life and be a gentleman.After years as companion to Miss Havisham and Estella, he spends more years as an apprentice to Joe, so that he may grow up to have a livelihood working as a blacksmith.This life is suddenly turned upside down when he is visited by a London attorney, Mr.Jaggers, who informs Pip that he is to come into the “Great Expectation” of a handsome property and be trained to be a gentleman at the behest of an anonymous benefactor.The second stage of Pip's expectations has Pip in London, learning the details of being a gentlemen, having tutors, fine clothing, and joining cultured society.Whereas he always engaged in honest labour when he was younger, he now is supported by a generous allowance, which he frequently lives beyond.He learns to fit in this new milieu, and experiences not only friendship but rivalry as he finds himself in the same circles as Estella, who is also pursued by many other men, especially Bentley Drummle, whom she favours.As he adopts the physical and cultural norms of his new status, he also adopts the class attitudes that go with it, and when Joe comes to visit Pip and his friend and roommate Herbert to deliver an important message, Pip is embarrassed to the point of hostility by Joe's unlearned ways, despite his protestations of love and friendship for Joe.At the end of this stage, Pip is introduced to his benefactor, again changing his world.The third and last stage of Pip's expectations alters Pip's life from the artificially supported world of his upper class strivings and introduces him to realities that he realizes he must deal with, facing moral, physical and financial challenges.He learns startling truths that cast into doubt the values that he once embraced so eagerly, and finds that he cannot regain many of the important things that he had cast aside so carelessly.The current ending of the story is different from Dickens's original intent, in which the ending matched the gloomy reverses to Pip's fortunes that typify the last expectation.Dickens was

prevailed upon to change the ending to one more acceptable to his readers'

tastes in that era, and this “new” ending was the published one and currently accepted as definitive.Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his life's experiences, and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective, rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal.Still, though Pip “knows” how all the events in the story will turn out, he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that we learn of events only when the Pip in the story does.Pip does, however, use the perspective of the bitter lessons he's learned to comment acidly on various actions and attitudes in his earlier life.
