Rich Artistic Connotation & Historical Background:

Chinese Yue Opera is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the 19th century.

It is known for its unique singing style, elaborate costumes, and intricate makeup.

The scholar costume is one of the most important roles in Yue Opera, representing scholars and intellectuals.

The palace refuse marriage attire and headwear are also important elements of this costume.

The scholar costume consists of a long robe with a high collar, a wide sash tied around the waist, and a pair of black boots.

The headwear includes a black hat with a red ribbon and a white scarf tied around the neck.

The outfit is usually made of silk or other fine fabrics and is adorned with intricate embroidery and beading.

The palace refuse marriage attire is similar to the scholar costume but has a different color scheme.

The robe is blue with gold trim, the sash is yellow with red stripes, and the boots are brown.

The headwear is also blue with a red ribbon and a white scarf.

These costumes were worn by scholars and officials during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) when they refused to marry into noble families.

They were seen as a symbol of their independence and refusal to conform to societal norms.

Today, these costumes are still worn by performers in Yue Opera shows to honor their historical significance.
