Beijing Opera is a traditional form of Chinese culture. In Beijing Opera, each character has his or her face painted in a special way. By looking at the face painting, the audience can know whether the character is good
or
1
bad.
Where did this kind of face painting come from? An old story told us that it had something to do
with
2
the Prince of Lanling. This prince was one of the four most handsome
men
3
(man) in ancient China. Some soldiers in the prince's army
thought
4
(think) that he was weak because of his good-looking face. So, to make himself look
stronger
5
(strong) than his appearance, the prince wore a mask with an ugly face painted on it.
Another face painting story was about Li Longji,
an
6
emperor in the Tang dynasty. He loved opera very much. One day, a clown actor(丑角) fell ill right before a performance. The emperor planned
to play
7
(play) this role himself. Then he covered his face with a piece of white square jade(玉) so that others wouldn't be able to recognize
him
8
(he). Ever since then, clown actors
have continued
9
(continue) to paint white squares on their faces.
As time went by, face painting started being
widely
10
(wide) used to show the characters of different roles. It has become one of the special art forms of Beijing Opera.
