First of all, the protagonist's clothing, as long as it is not a foreigner, is mainly the clothing style of the Han nationality in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no problem with men's shirts, robes, towels and hats.
As for the stand-up shirts of female characters, they became popular only after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and they were not Manchu costumes, let alone cheongsam. Women's heads, especially big heads, are the style of bun at the back of the front piece, which is related to the hairstyle of Han women after the middle and late Qing Dynasty, but it is by no means a flag head. The hair style difference between the flag girl and the China girl is clear at a glance.
However, there are full ones in the Chinese opera. First of all, this is related to the development of drama in Qing Dynasty (there were also Mongolian and Yuan aristocratic costumes in Yuan Dynasty). Secondly, it is related to the role needs, such as mandarin jacket, horseshoe sleeves and cheongsam. In Manchu costumes, it is used to show foreigners from different countries in operas, but generally it is not a positive role, such as Jin people and Liao people with the theme of Song, Jin and Liao. In addition, there are contemporary folk costumes in the Qing Dynasty, such as those of mother-in-law, cunning officials and even beggars (see women). These are generally some gag roles played by clowns. Using "fashion" is nothing more than not buying clothes, and it can also increase the irony of reality. Anyone who really watches the drama can understand that formal dress and clean dress actually have a very subtle position in the drama.
The elegant Kunqu opera failed to compete with the folk influence of Huabu's random play after the middle of Qing Dynasty, and gradually declined. Then I almost lost it. Fortunately, it has been passed down. There is no difference between Kunqu costumes and Peking Opera costumes. Many operas, especially big operas, are developed on the basis of Kunqu Opera, Yuyao Opera, Haiyan Opera and Yiyang Opera, combined with the characteristics of local music. Clothing is not divided according to drama, but the necessity of future development.
Peony Pavilion is a legendary play. Kunshan, Yuyao, Haiyan and Yiyang are legendary musical performances. Besides Kunshan, Yiyang can also perform Peony Pavilion. Unfortunately, the other three major tunes are gradually lost, but their characteristics are absorbed by local operas.
Friends who say that the costumes of Chinese opera are full, it is estimated that they don't watch the drama very much or basically, and they don't know the development and classification of Chinese opera costumes. If the Peony Pavilion is performed in the Ming Dynasty, there will be foreign costumes in it, because there are scenes showing the envoys of the State of Jin in the play, and of course Jin people can't wear Hanfu. If this play is to be staged today, it is the Song people (Du Liniang, Liu Mengmei, etc. There are also Jin people and bandits (Li Quan, etc.) in plain clothes. ) wear Manchu costumes. Isn't that appropriate? You can't ask for the Peony Pavilion and another costume from the Song and Jin Dynasties, can you? This is also against the law of traditional opera costumes in China. What should the troupe do if it wants to play the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and Five Dynasties? This is also true. It is also harsh to ask that clothes should not be "fashionable" at that time in the Qing Dynasty.
Besides, whatever I have seen, whether it is Peony Pavilion (Dream in the Garden, etc.). ) or the youth version of "The Peony Pavilion", the full text has not yet appeared, so you can rest assured. At the same time, some suggestions, since learning Hanfu requires the overall study of China traditional culture, opera costumes are also included, so we must contact them. Similarly, religious costumes such as robes and Taoist robes are also preserved in the past, so we must pay attention to them.
