Classic Peking Opera经典京剧脸谱《是唱脸谱》，蓝脸的窦尔敦，盗御马，红脸的关公战长沙，黄脸的典韦，白脸的曹操，黑脸的张飞，叫喳喳

京剧《说唱脸谱》里唱到：“蓝脸的窦尔敦，盗御马，红脸的关公战长沙，黄脸的典韦，白脸的曹操，黑脸的张飞，叫喳喳……”关公，曹操，典韦我们都知道，都是《三国》里的人物，那窦尔敦是谁？

京剧脸谱

在京剧的脸谱里，每种颜色代表不同的人物形象和性格。红脸代表忠义、血性，比如关羽；黑脸代表正直，严肃，比如张飞；白脸代表奸诈、多疑，比如曹操；黄脸代表勇猛、暴躁，比如典韦；蓝脸代表刚直，桀骜，多是些绿林好汉，比如本文要讲的窦尔敦。

窦尔敦京剧形象

窦尔敦是京剧《盗御马》里的人物，在评书《连环套》、公案小说《彭公案》和《施公案》里也出现过。由于不同人的创作和艺术表现需要，关于窦尔敦的身世和结局各个版本都有所不同，在这里我以单田芳的评书《连环套》为蓝本结合其它文学作品里的窦尔敦形象

In the Beijing opera "Speaking and Singing with Facial Masks," it sings: "Du Er Dun with blue face, stealing imperial horses; Guan Yu with red face fights in Changsha; Dian Wei with yellow face; Cao Cao with white face; Zhang Fei with black face, making a clamor..." We know about Guan Yu, Cao Cao, and Dian Wei from the "Three Kingdoms," but who is Du Er Dun?

In Beijing opera facial masks, each color represents a different character and personality. Red symbolizes loyalty and valor, such as Guan Yu; black represents integrity and seriousness, like Zhang Fei; white signifies deceitfulness and suspicion, like Cao Cao; yellow represents bravery and impulsiveness, like Dian Wei; blue signifies forthrightness and assertiveness, often portraying righteous outlaws, like the character Du Er Dun in this context.

Du Er Dun's Character in Beijing Opera

Du Er Dun is a character from the Beijing opera "Stealing the Imperial Horses" and also appears in storytelling series like "The Interlocking Trap," detective novels such as "Peng's Case," and "Shi's Case." Due to variations in different creators' interpretations and artistic expressions, there are differences in Du Er Dun's background and fate across various versions. Here, I'll base his portrayal on the storytelling series by Shan Tianfang, "The Interlocking Trap," while incorporating elements from other literary works portraying Du Er Dun.
