If you’re referring to the actors with “characters”, then it looks like this is a scene out of The Romance of Three Kingdoms, though I can’t see who the bottom, smaller characters would depict.

The big figure on top is then most likely Guan Yu, IF this is actually depicting said story.

If you mean characters as in the symbols with which they write… I don’t know. I’m not Chinese.

The little scene in the base makes it even cooler.
