A performer demonstrates the Sichuanese art of face-changing in celebration of the Lantern Festival in Huishan Ancient Town. It is said that face-changing first appeared in Sichuan Opera during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). Each face reflects the character's mood, and different colors of Chinese opera facial make-up represent different emotions. [Photo provided by Huishan Ancient Town]
