in jingju the role type known as jing is

In Jingju (Peking Opera), the Jing is a role type representing male characters with bold, larger-than-life personalities, often warriors, generals, or supernatural beings. Known as the "painted face" role, Jing characters are distinguished by their elaborate, colorful facial makeup, which symbolizes their personality and status. They are further divided into subtypes like Zhengjing (primary Jing, often heroic), Fujing (secondary Jing, sometimes comedic or villainous), and Wujing (martial Jing, emphasizing acrobatics and combat). Jing roles are characterized by powerful, resonant singing, exaggerated expressions, and commanding stage presence.
