Chinese Opera Mask, Lian Po

Purple Color

Purple stands for uprightness, sophistication and cool-headedness). The reddish purple face likewise shows a just and noble character, for instance, Lian Po in the well-known play Lian Po He (The General Reconciled with the Chief Minister), in which General Lian was proud and impetuous and quarreled with the chief minister to whom he was ultimately reconciled.
