Taiwanese Opera is a kind of local drama which can always amalgamate other cultures . Because of its special amalgamation of cultures, Taiwanese Opera becomes more and more generous. Of course, we can find this future on costume design. Though the costumes for Taiwanese Opera can take up so much style of other cultures, in fact, it didn’t go on a right way. Costume designers always just “put” some parts of western costumes on Chinese traditional costumes, and create a lot of Opera costumes which were though gaudy, so that we can hardly find the texture in our Taiwanese Opera costumes. Now we have to face the facts that people here aspire to have delicate local culture today. Since costumes is the most elementary factor of how to catch the eyes of the audience for Taiwanese Opera, it plays a very important role of how the Taiwanese opera continue . The goal of this research is to present a set of costume design for the three main characters~”Xue Ping-Gui”, ”Wang Bao-Chuan” and the princess”Dai-Zhan” in the most famous Taiwanese Opera “Xue Ping-Gui and Wang Bao-Chuan”. According to the enactor about “Xue-Ping Gui and Wang-Bao Chuan” before, we can find that the costumes are dynasty-mixed. In this research, we try to retroject what and how people wear in Tan dynasty, and try to analyze the element of what we call “Tan dynasty wearing style”,so that we can create the costumes that near what people wore in this past dynasty with modern execution. On the other side, France costumes in 18 century (Rococo style) which were called the source of western costumes was also analyzed .So that we can catch its element and compare with those of Tan dynasty and traditional Taiwanese opera, then find the key points for translating. At the basic wearing proportion of Tan dynasty , we translated each part of the costumes step by step from the element of these three styles in order to present historical and modern costumes for Taiwanese Opera .According to this rule, the personal thinking of costume design was presented with works, and the future of costumes for Taiwanese Opera was emphasized.
