川劇，形成於清朝中期（約公元1736至1795年間），是一種流行於中國四川、重慶、雲南、貴州等省的民間傳統藝術。

變臉是川劇表演中最重要的組成部分，為人們所熟知。臉譜在川劇中的作用是展示人物的身份、形​​貌、和性格特徵，臉譜製作的發展經過紙殼面具，到草紙繪製，如今基本使用綢緞面料，極大的方便了演員的表演。在演出過程中，表演者可以不斷地變換出十多個臉譜，變臉手法分為“抹臉”、“吹臉”、“扯臉”三種，此外，還有一種“運氣”變臉。

川劇的唱腔有崑曲、高腔、胡琴、彈戲、燈調五種，其中，高腔是川劇中最重要的一種聲腔，在明末清初傳入四川後，結合了四川方言、民間歌謠、勞動號子、發問說唱等，逐漸形成了獨具特色的地方聲腔音樂。

川劇劇目十分豐富，有傳統劇目2000餘種，劇目詞條6000多條，常見舞台劇目100多種。

跟其他地方戲曲一樣，川劇​​也面臨著生存危機，自2006年列入國家級非物質文化遺產名錄後，情況才有點好轉。在微博等新媒體的宣傳下，川劇再一次活躍在人們的日常生活中，豐富了人民的日常生活，也促進了川劇的繁榮與發展。

Sichuan Opera was formed in the mid-Qing Dynasty (around 1736-1795). It is a traditional folk art, which is popular among area like Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Guizhou etc.

Sichuan Opera is well known for face-changing, which is a central component of the performance. Lianpu (painted face) shows the statuses, appearances, and characteristics of different roles in the play. People used hard paper and soft paper to make lianpu in ancient times. Now people use silk to make mask, which is more convenient for the actors. During the show, actors change more than 10 masks in a very short time. There are three types of face changes, which are wiping mask, blowing mask, and pulling mask. Some actors also use Qigong movements when changing faces.

There are five distinct singing styles; they are Kun Opera, Gaoqiang, Huqin voice, Tanxi, and Dengdiao. The most well-know style with most distinct characteristics is Gaoqiang. It was imported from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty in Sichuan. It combines Sichuan dialect, folk music, labor, the song of rap and other forms. After processing and refining, it gradually formed a tune with local characteristics of music.

Sichuan Opera owns rich repertoires. There are over 2,000 traditional repertoires, 6,000 repertoire entries, and 100 common stage plays.

Like other local operas, Sichuan Opera is facing a survival crisis. Since it was included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage, the situation has improved. Propagandized by microblog and other new media, Sichuan Opera become active again in people's daily lives, which not only enriches their lives, but also promotes its development and prosperity.
