The Astonishing Colors of Traditional China

Step into a magnificent thousand-year scroll where color is more than just a visual feast—it is a unique cultural symbol and how the Chinese perceive the world. In this video, we invite you to journey through time and explore the astonishing palette of traditional China: The Cosmic Foundation: Discover the profound logic of the "Five Correct Colors"—Qing (blue/green), Chi (red), Huang (yellow), Bai (white), and Hei (black). These are not merely pigments; they represent the five directions, the changing seasons, and the mythical guardians like the Green Dragon and the Vermillion Bird that watch over the universe. A Tapestry of Dynasties: Witness how colors shifted with the soul of each era. Experience the simple and natural hues of Pre-Qin pottery, the noble black and cinnabar red of Han Dynasty lacquers, the vibrant "concerto" of Tang Sancai, and the refined, low-saturation aesthetics of the Song Dynasty. Gifts from Nature: Uncover the ancient wisdom hidden in raw materials. Traditional Chinese colors are ground from minerals like azurite and cinnabar, extracted from plants like madder and indigo, and even captured from the iridescent feathers of kingfishers. These stable pigments have allowed ancient murals and architectures to remain brilliant for centuries. Poetic Naming: Listen to names that sound like songs. "Sky Water Green" (Tianshui Bi) describes a clarity born from night dew; "Twilight Mountain Purple" (Mushan Zi) reflects the distant peaks shrouded in evening mist; and "Human Music" (Renlai) captures an ethereal, imaginative green. Chinese traditional colors carry the perception and love for nature accumulated over thousands of years. Join us as we lift the veil on these artistic treasures and rediscover the everlasting vitality of a great culture's romantic heart.
