Ground / Nuo Opera Ground Opera, or some classified it as Nuo Opera, originated sometime between 1368 and 1398 during the reign of Ming Dynasty. When Ming expanded its territories, estimated 200,000+ armed forces relocated from Central China to the Southwest Frontier. They stationed in remote mountainous 'Tun Pu' (Tun Pu means fortress in Chinese) and brought along the Ground Opera with them. It was played for both entertainment and army practicing purposes, and could be performed in any open grounds. (hence called "Ground" Opera).
Theatrical Costumes + Vivid Masks + Orchestral Music + Fictions During the performance, actors are dressed up in theatrical costumes and wear masks on the forehead with a piece of black gauze to cover the face. Warriors will wear chicken feather on the head and small flags on the back. The performance is accompanied by orchestral music and percussions, and its storyline is mostly related to historical fictions.
The "Living Fossil" of the Opera Art The traditional "Ground Opera" that originated from Ming dynasty has been lost except those kept by the villagers living in "Tun Pu" villages. This is due to the geographical isolation and hence they are able to preserve it. Nowadays there are only a few "Tun Pu" villages left and people living there are in their 22nd generations. They continue to perform Ground Opera during the harvest season and the Chinese New Year as a sign of rich and prosperous life. Ground Opera mask is a popular collected item by art research institutes and museums in many countries, including Britain, United States, France, Germany and Japan.
Ground / Nuo Opera Mask The focal point of the Ground / Nuo Opera is the mask. It requires exceptional craftsmanship and years of experience to carve an affectionate and vivid mask, in which to reflect the role's character and its represented spirit.
Mask Role Masks roles can be classified into five types: 1) Warrior, 2) Officer, 3) Deity / Monk, 4) Clown and 5) Animal. Sometimes special symbols, such as dragon, phoenix, tiger and butterfly, are carved to indicate role distinct characters.
