- Abstract
Beijing Opera, a significant representation of traditional Chinese culture, its artistic elements have been employed as a symbol of the classic culture all along. As of today, as Beijing Opera is somewhat detached both from the times and the entire young generation however, the quintessence of this national treasure is progressively going into decline. What merits attention is the critical role it plays in inheriting Chinese national culture can be overlooked by no means. With respect to space, a concrete vehicle for bearing culture, it becomes a field where people receive and disseminate information. This leads to the question on how to apply elements of Beijing Opera to space design so that more people can have in-depth understanding of Chinese traditional culture of this kind, which will be conducive to promoting its inheritance, further development and wide acceptance. Question of such kind shall be addressed at the time being. In view of the above fact, this research, by selecting and deconstructing the facial make-ups in Beijing Opera, proposes to apply them to the design of Beijing Opera-themed dining space. A brand-new way as it is, such method can integrate the Opera into people’s daily life, whereas diners can be a better place for people to receive and disseminate information. And therefore, incorporating the themes of Beijing Opera and storylines of certain Peking Opera works to the design of dining space can render more people understand Chinese traditional culture, thereby enhancing the inheritance and development of traditional culture.
