The face changing, or "bianlian" in Chinese,is an important intangible cultural heritage in China. only a few masters have grasped this skill. Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 8 minutes! By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks. From green to blue, red, yellow, brown, black, dark and gold, these masks show fear, tension, relaxation, slyness, desperation, outrage, and so on.

川剧变脸表演也是我们中国最有特色的表演之一，变脸主要用以表现剧中人物的情绪、心理状态的突然变化——或惊恐，或绝望，或愤怒，或阴险，等等，达到“相随心变”艺术效果。
