The performance art of Beijing Opera is originated from the characteristics of Pantomime, symbolic moments, abstract acting and stylized acting and semiotic unit in the traditional Chinese Theater. The performing of the traditional opera helps set up the unique "Stage Design System" through the changes in time, space and scenes within the play. The stage design, the main characters, different categories of roles and painted faces, different kinds of orchestra, props, costume, minor characters--like servants, and the acting itself all play important roles in the play. The rise of stage design is resulted from the four factors--theater groups, screenplays, the stage and the performance. The persons in charge of the change of the stage are from none to some and from part-time employment to full-time employment. Its rising history is related to the number of people in the theater group, to the scene and plot changes, to the prop arrangment, to the structures of the theater and to the Pantomime acting. Yet most important of all, the rise of the stage design is doomed because that the traditional stage is without a big curtain itage. It faces three sides of audience--in the front, left and right.
