Ink Wash Peking Opera Postcard Series: "The Peony Pavilion"

Kunqu Opera "The Peony Pavilion" - Main Characters 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, renowned in both literary history and the world of theater. The original play consists of fifty-five acts, with a captivating and intricate story. It depicts the love story between Du Liniang, the daughter of a Song Dynasty prefect, and the scholar Liu Mengmei. Liniang dreams of her beloved after a garden excursion, and dies of longing. Three years after her death, she is revived by love. Though fantastical and unusual, the story highlights the moving power of "love." I love ink wash painting, and I also love traditional opera. This is a beautiful fusion. I want more people to experience how wonderful it is when Peking Opera meets ink wash art. It's not serious; it's quite charming! Sharing the beauty of Chinese culture with everyone :) Size | 10.3 x 14 cm Material | 250g coated paper Packaging | Individual cards are packaged in a clear plastic sleeve and then shipped in a kraft paper envelope. * Receive a complimentary bookmark with the purchase of five postcards! The opera, passed down for hundreds of years, its beauty is both real and dreamlike. This is an encounter between Peking Opera and ink wash. The characters' postures, elegance, and playfulness are depicted in diverse ways. I hope to share this emotion with you. Peking Opera, as a performing art, is not mainstream in Taiwan. I wonder how many young friends would be interested in it. From the graceful movements, martial arts, and vocalizations... to the art of facial makeup, all are exquisitely beautiful! I express the characters' unique traits using "freehand brushstrokes" and a "playful style" to make it more accessible and approachable for the general public! / Origin and Manufacturing Method / Taiwan
