The origin of Facebook is the mask. Face painting directly paints people on the face, while mask painting projects people onto other things and then wears them on the face.

In ancient China, there were witch dances and Nuo dances in sacrificial activities, and dancers often wore masks. There are dozens of bronze masks among the cultural relics unearthed from Sanxingdui ancient Shu site in the north of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. They were used by the ancient Shu state to worship Wang Yufo 4000 years ago.

The Northern Qi warrior Lan Ling has a long bow. He is brave and good at fighting, but he looks like a beautiful woman. He put on a mask to help him fight. In the Tang Dynasty song and dance "Brave Lanling Ensemble", the actor who plays Warrior Lanling needs to wear a mask, which is the origin of the play's facial makeup.

The role of Facebook can not only show the characters, but also show all kinds of situations of the characters. For example, Xiang Yu's eyes are painted as "crying face", which symbolizes his tragic ending, Bao Gong's frown symbolizes his anxiety, and the monkey's face symbolizes that he is a monkey. Another function is "distance", which opens the psychological distance between drama and audience.

The photos on the face make the audience confused about the real face of the actor, which is very different from the real people in life, just like wearing a mask. This makes it difficult for the audience to "enter the play" and avoid hallucinations.

On the contrary, they pay attention to aesthetics and appreciation. In addition, "Big Face" and "Junzhuang" were staged at the same time, in sharp contrast, highlighting the handsome appearance of Sheng Dan and the bizarre pure ugliness. At the same time, the rich and bright oil paints and various faces, together with jing xing's rough voice of "roaring", have formed a strong artistic stimulus, which has played a role in inspiring, venting and shocking the audience.
