京剧为什么画脸谱

花花绿绿的脸谱是京剧艺术中最具魅力的元素之一，可是这些脸谱的颜色、图案是不是化妆师随心所欲的作品呢？究竟京剧脸谱中蕴含着怎样的奥妙？ 

京剧脸谱是因人设谱，一人一谱。通过运用夸张和变形的图形来展示角色的性格特征，从脸谱上就可以分辨出这个角色是英雄还是坏人，聪明还是愚蠢，受人爱戴还是使人厌恶，如，关羽红色脸，象征忠义、耿直、有血性；包拯黑黑的额头上有一个白色的月牙，表示清正廉洁；孟良额头有一个红葫芦，表示他爱喝酒；二郎神杨戬头上画有三只眼，这是来源于古典传说；杨七朗额头有一繁体“虎”字，显示其勇猛无敌；赵匡胤的龙眉表示他是真龙天子；姜维额头画有阴阳图，表示神机妙算；窦尔墩、典威等人的脸谱上有其最擅长的兵器图案；王延章头画青蛙，表示他是水兽转世；赵公明面画金钱，表示自己是财神爷…… 

京剧脸谱尽管由程式化的各种谱式组成，但却是一种“性格妆”，各种谱样不相雷同。千变万化的脸谱既可以帮助理解剧情，更满足了人们在欣赏京剧时的审美需求。
