Rich Artistic Connotation & Historical Background:

Chinese Ping Opera Elderly Female Servant Apparels Costumes and Headpieces Chinese Ping Opera, also known as Jin E Traditional Pingju Opera, is a traditional Chinese opera that originated in the late Qing Dynasty.

It is renowned for its unique singing style, elaborate costumes, and intricate headpieces.

The elderly female servant (Laodan) character is one of the most popular roles in the opera, and her attire is particularly striking.

The Laodan dress is a long, flowing robe made of silk or other luxurious fabrics.

It features intricate embroidery, colorful patterns, and delicate details that reflect the character's status and personality.

The dress is often adorned with a headpiece, which can be either a simple piece of jewelry or a more elaborate accessory that complements the overall look.

The headpieces are an essential part of the Laodan costume, as they not only add visual interest but also serve practical purposes.

They can be used to protect the wearer's hair from getting tangled during performances, and some headpieces even have small pockets to store props or other items.

In addition to the Laodan dress and headpiece, other aspects of the costume include a high-crowned hat, a pair of white gloves, and a sash around the waist.

These elements work together to create a cohesive and visually stunning ensemble that captures the essence of the character.

The Laodan costume has been passed down through generations of performers and has become an integral part of Chinese culture.

It represents the beauty and elegance of traditional Chinese art forms and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of this great nation.
