Ink Wash Peking Opera Postcard Series: The Peony Pavilion

Kunqu Opera: The Peony Pavilion - The protagonists, Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang [The Peony Pavilion], also known as [The Story of the Soul's Return], is a masterpiece by Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty, a significant contribution to literary and theatrical history. The original play comprises fifty-five acts, with a captivating and intricate plot. It tells the story of the love between Du Liniang, the daughter of a Song Dynasty prefect, and the scholar Liu Mengmei. Du Liniang, after a dreamlike encounter in the garden, pines away from unfulfilled love and dies. Three years later, she is resurrected by the power of love. While fantastical, it powerfully showcases the moving force of "love." I love ink wash painting, and I also love traditional opera. This is a beautiful fusion. I want more people to experience the wonder of combining Peking Opera with ink wash art, and to see that it's not solemn, but rather quite playful! Sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with you :) Size | 10.3x14cm Material | 250g coated paper Packaging | Individual cards are packaged in a clear plastic sleeve and then mailed in a kraft paper envelope. * Purchase five postcards and receive one bookmark as a gift! The opera, passed down for centuries, its beauty is both real and dreamlike. This is an encounter between Peking Opera and ink wash. The characters' diverse postures are elegant, and also full of charm. I hope to share this feeling with you. Peking Opera, as a performing art, is not mainstream in Taiwan. I wonder how many young people would be interested in it. Whether it's the graceful movements, the martial arts, the singing style... or the art of facial makeup, it's all absolutely stunning! I express the characters' distinct features with "freehand brushwork" and a "playful style," making it more accessible and approachable for the general public! / Origin or Manufacturer / Taiwan
