I bought these coasters because I liked the design, but I knew nothing about it. Apparently, they are Chinese Peking Opera masks. Each mask symbolizes a certain character. I was wondering whether somebody could help me identify the characters here.

It turns out, the main color of Peking opera masks represents a certain trait of a character. For example, blue means the character is stubborn. A white mask is for an evil character, and a black one is for a character with integrity and altruism.
It's puzzling that there's so little information online. It's such a captivating topic and concept: a character that you can "read" by analyzing their colors and patterns. It's a whole different way to convey a personality.
