This morning, during School Meeting, Jaden Wei '26 performed “Bian Lian,” an ancient Chinese dramatic art form that involves face-changing. This performance was a special way to welcome the Lunar New Year! #LunarNewYear #Community | Salisbury School

If you blink, you’ll miss it! Bian Lian is the ancient Chinese art of face changing from Sichuan opera. Masks shift in the blink of an eye with a simple gesture, a tradition perfected over centuries and guarded as a secret skill. In this modern performance, the magic goes even further. The artist not only changes masks but also transforms entire costumes in an instant, turning every movement into a dazzling illusion of complete transformation. #art #china #tradition #bianlian #sichuanopera #illu

Bian Lian (Face-Changing) is a Chinese art form in Sichuan opera where performers rapidly change masks to depict different characters using fans, head movements, or hand waves. Watch the speed here. (Reposted via @gunsnrosesgirl13) | Touted Folly

Count how many faces they have changed?! Bian Lian (變臉) literally face-changing, is part of Sichuan opera. Performers wear vividly colored masks which they change from one face to another almost instantaneously with the swipe of a fan, a movement of the head, or a wave of the hand. Do not ask me how. It is the secret and the charm of Sichuan opera which only the performers know. #ChineseCulture | iPanda
