The 600-year old Di Opera at Anshun, originally performed by ancient soldiers to pray for victory, was added to the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2006 and is considered a "living fossil of Chinese drama". Actors wear masks on their foreheads instead of faces to facilitate fighting movements during the performance. Chen Jingwen / for China Daily |
