Heritage & Innovation: The Art of Face-changing 傳承與創新-變臉的藝術

Bian Lian (Face-changing) is a centerpiece of Sichuan Opera, where performers switch masks in the blink of an eye to depict shifting emotions and legendary characters. Recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006, this art form was historically a guarded secret passed down through generations. Today, we honor this sacred legacy while infusing it with a contemporary vision.

變臉是川劇的核心技巧，演員們在眨眼間更換面具，生動地展現人物的情感變化和傳奇故事。 2006年，變臉被列入國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。歷史上，這門藝術一直被視為秘而不宣的技藝，代代相傳。如今，我們傳承這神聖的文化遺產，並賦予其現代的詮釋。
