What is the greenwood of the underworld?

In the traditional culture of China, green is dual, representing both chivalrous people and wild evils. This is because in the initial era of mankind and its long life process, human beings protected themselves with the help of green and survived; But at the same time, green also protects human natural enemies and other fierce cannibals. In this way, the narrow sense of justice is justice. For example, people generally call people who gather in the mountains to rob the rich and help the poor "outlaws"; The evil field is evil, so in the old days, it also referred to the "green forest" as a bandit who occupied the mountain as king and robbed the road to disturb the people; Green also symbolizes inferiority. For example, in the Han Dynasty, servants wore green scarves. After the Yuan Dynasty, prostitutes wore green headscarves to show their low status. Because his wife had an affair and his husband was humiliated and inferior, he was called a "cuckold husband". The symbolic meaning of green in western culture is closely related to the color of green vegetation, which is the life color of plants. Asheim said: "Green evokes a refreshing idea of nature."
