How to avoid monotony in ancient garden buildings with black and white as the main color?

White walls, black tiles, gray rockeries, red columns, green trees, clear water, bamboo and blue sky constitute an elegant, bright and quiet picture, which makes people feel happy and noble, and the use of colors and their functions are perfectly unified. Pink walls, tiles, maroon windows and columns are the colors of the building. This simple color, seemingly simple, is constantly changing, setting off the infinite scenery of the garden.

Since ancient times, gardening has been influenced by Taoist thought, and its role can also be seen in the choice of architectural colors. Black and white is the most respected color in Taoism. Black is the deepest color, solemn, noble, extraordinary and quiet. The Book of Changes defines the sky as mysterious (black), and the ground color is yellow, so-called "Heaven Xuan Dihuang". Laozi said, "Mystery is mystery, the gate of Wan Qi", and the mystery (black) color has the function of deriving and surpassing all colors. White is the brightest color, light, simple and pure. It is also valued by Taoism. "Huai Nan Zi Yuan Dao Xun" contains "color, white and five colors." Taoism believes that the emergence and change of everything is the unity of existence and nothingness, and nothing is the most fundamental.

"Nothing" is the Tao. According to this view, white (colorless) and five colors should be unified, independent and interdependent; But colorless is the origin, and five colors and white (colorless) coexist harmoniously, which directly affects the aesthetic thought of painting. Most ancient gardeners were literati, and their gardening thoughts were deeply influenced by painting theory. In the history of painting, from the late Tang Dynasty to the appearance of ink landscape painting in the Five Dynasties, the application of ink color is becoming more and more mature, and the role of ink color has been mentioned above all colors. China's painting has changed from emphasizing color to emphasizing ink and wash, and literati painting has gradually sought to create artistic realm by using the color change of ink and wash. Suzhou gardens have always had the tradition of literati gardening, and their aesthetic tendency directly determines the creation of makeup in gardens.
