Rich Artistic Connotation & Historical Background:

The Chinese Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is a traditional form of Chinese theater that has been around for over 200 years.

It is renowned for its elaborate costumes and makeup, which are designed to convey the characters' personalities and social status.

The Laosheng (Older Male) role is one of the most popular in the opera, and it requires a specific type of costume and headwear.

The Laosheng costume is made of silk or other fine fabrics and features intricate embroidery and patterns.

The headwear is usually a tall, pointed hat with a wide brim and a long tail.

The hat is often decorated with feathers or other embellishments to add to the character's regal appearance.

In addition to the costume and headwear, the Laosheng also wears a long robe with a high collar and a sash around his waist.

The robe is typically made of silk or other luxurious materials and is adorned with intricate designs and patterns.

The Laosheng costume and headwear are not only functional but also symbolic.

They represent the character's social status and personality traits.

For example, the tall hat and long robes suggest power and authority, while the intricate embroidery and patterns reflect the character's refinement and elegance.

Overall, the Laosheng costume and headwear are an integral part of the Chinese Peking Opera, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the performance.
