Cartoon highlights traditional Chinese culture  

“舌尖上的京剧”漫画走红 作者称京剧本来很美好

连日来，河北省廊坊市“80后”宅女创作的18幅《舌尖上的京剧》系列漫画爆红网络。作者将传统的京剧与美食“混搭”，引得中国网友惊呼“京剧原来也可以这么萌”。

Langfang(CNS)-- The author of a popular online cartoon called "A Bite of Peking Opera" said on Friday that she hoped more young people would get interested in traditional forms of Chinese culture.

Shi Junling, a microblogger from Langfang, Hebei Province, has published a series of 18 cartoons that combine aspects of Peking Opera with knowledge about Chinese cuisine.

"Peking Opera is not as popular as it was in the past, maybe because the younger generation thinks it is too highbrow for them," said Shi. "I just try to interpret it in an easy-going manner."

"Although the characters are cartoon images, all their facial paintings and appearances are painted in accordance with their traditional versions," Shi said.
