Most costumes were made of Satin cloth and Chinese silk cloth. The dresses of comedians were made of cotton cloth. All of them were adapted to use with a verity of stories and dynasties.

     There were twenty Chinese opera costumes that were specifically; the dress for royal ceremony, the dress of governor, the overcoat, the cloak, the dress of a Chinese eunuch, the Jade belt, a skirt, the short shirt and trousers for a lady, the cloak without arm pitch, the royal wardrobe, the scarf, the coat of mail, the flags of war, the travel cloak, the king’s crown, the royal headdresses, the queen’s crown, the crown of the governor, the headgear of a warrior, and shoes.

In the Present Day

     The performers’ costumes are not as elaborated as in the past. The dresses are old, dirty and not sumptuous. Two of third troupes performed without such the important props as the flags of war or the jade belt. There was transformation, because the Chinese opera today does not have enought budgets. And, the performers were happy to dress simply.
