也许会有人不明白，为什么在京剧舞台上会长时间的存在男性扮演女性的现象呢？
在戏曲形成时和形成后的很长时间里，中国都处于封建或半封建社会阶段。在这个社会环境下，妇女是没有社会地位的，被视为男性的附属品，从而也没有就业的权利。她们只能生活在各自的家中，不能到社会上谋生。甚至于进戏园子看戏都是被禁止的，连娱乐的权利都没有。
同样，演员虽然社会地位低下，但是也算是社会职业的一种，女性自然是无法涉足的。可在戏曲舞台上，又少不了表现男欢女爱，儿女情长的题材，没有女性参与是无法演出的。于是，就只好由容貌清秀、举止温柔的男演员来扮演剧中的女性角色。久而久之，成为了约定俗成的规定。
随着社会的进步，逐渐出现了一些全部由女性组成的戏班。无论是男女角色都有女性扮演。这无疑是社会的一大进步。但是这个时候，男女同台还被认为是“有伤风化”而严令禁止的。而且，男性旦行演员仍然在嗓音、表演上占有优势，仍居有相当大的比重。随着观众不断进步的要求，为了适应市场，终于男女同台演出的形式出现了，但是并没有妨碍男性旦行演员的继续存在。

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore, with mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Turkic dragons. In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. In contrast to European dragons that are considered evil, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang (male) and complements a yin (female) fenghuang "Chinese phoenix lord of demons".
Color in Chinese culture refers to the various colors that are considered auspicious (吉利) or inauspicious (不利). The Chinese character for color is 颜色 (Yan Se). In ancient China, the character more accurately meant color in the face. During the Tang Dynasty, Yan Se began to refer to all color. The Chinese idiom “Wu (five) Yan Liu (six) Se,” which is used to describe many colors, may also suggests colors in general.
In China, common names for China include "Zhonghua" (中华) and "Zhongguo" (中国) , while "Han" (汉) and "Tang" (唐) are common names given for the Chinese ethnicity. Other names include Huaxia, Shenzhou and Jiuzhou.
