Shuo Wen Jie Zi - Department of the Department of the color words about silk which 24

Color is color, but the meaning of the word "color" in ancient times is very different from today. Chu Rhetoric - Fisherman's Father" in the "color gaunt

", "Shuowen Jiezi" said: "Yan, between the eyebrows is also; color, the face of the gas is also." Duan Yucai notes: "all shame, joy and sorrow is called the face

color", because "the heart reaches the gas, the gas reaches between the eyebrows", it can be seen that in ancient times, "color" refers to the color of the face, rather than the color of everything. The color is the color of the face, not the color of everything.

But at least in the Tang Dynasty, "color" has the meaning of referring to the colors of nature, Du Fu "flower bottom": "know the good color, do not

for the commission of the mud and sand." The idiom "colorful" also reflects this meaning of "color". The inanimate color is connected with the living world of man

, which is the basis for the color to become a symbol. The reference of this symbol is given by man, and the relationship between it and the energy

reference as a material coat is not entirely arbitrary, but is mediated by man's universal aesthetic taste and national cultural concepts. The color of the moon also has the same beauty."

Color is the clothes of life, it is with the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple and a variety of different colors, the world has so many people

dazzling sense, if all gray, the world has lost the sense of beauty. That's what the eye demands, and that's what the eye is built to do. We instinctively respond to color, feel pleasure, sadness or irritability in the colorful changes,

Wenxindiaolong "color" said: "the movement of the color, the heart also shakes." We will like some colors for no reason, is because

for our hazy aesthetic consciousness in the guide. Goethe said, "People are generally fond of colors, and the eye feels a demand to see

colors just as it feels a demand to see light; we try to think of a gloomy day, and then suddenly the sunlight

shines on a scene in front of us, and the colors of the illuminated objects are so vivid that we experience a pleasant emotion. "

This

paragraph of text from the great German poet Goethe's book "color science", he is a poet's sensitive heart to feel the true meaning of color,

His "color science" is both scientific and artistic works. With all the phenomena in the world, people have the desire to know the color

wish, but also have the use of color to understand the desire of other things, in short, people first in trying to understand the objective things produced by the color and human

life connection, so by the understanding of the concept of color determined by the production of the former, the use of aesthetics in the latter. Such as the ancient people very early

have "color" and "color" concept, red, blue, yellow, white, black is the color, red, purple, misty, blue, flow yellow is between

color. However, the concept can not resist people's aesthetic love of color, later generations of red, purple and other colors due to the eyes of the eye, they are not

repeatedly despised, but has a very high status, the difference between this intermediate color and the color of the concept also disappeared.

Color symbols in constant flux, the ancients were in the use of color in the formation of the symbolic function of color. It is said that human beings used

colors about 150,000 to 200,000 years ago in the Ice Age, some primitive sites unearthed red soil, red bone tools prove that the original

Primitive people the concept of red as a symbol of life. The colors in the totem culture have symbolic meanings. There are four color words in the oracle bone inscriptions, namely, yui (black), white, red, and yellow, which are all used to indicate the colors of livestock. The ancients also believed that yellow is the central color, the king

of the color; red is the southern color, the south has the Red Emperor; green is the eastern color, the Qing Emperor is the main spring season god; white is the western color, autumn

color, the five elements of the color of the gold, one of the four divine beasts is the white tiger; the north has the Black Emperor, black is the northern color. These are people's hypothetical understanding of color

color and the external natural world. Color has an image and invisible, are attached to the concrete things above. It is with the

colorful coat, we can distinguish between the world by sight. Zhouli" said: "Baozhang's, to five clouds of things, identify

good and bad luck, water and drought, descending the evil force of abundance and famine, two to two minutes to see the color of the clouds, green for the insects, white for mourning, red for the military desertion, black for the water, yellow for the abundance.

"There is a mishmash of experience and perception here. Some people also found that the misinterpretation of color blinds people to the objective truth of the recognition

knowledge, such as the Taoist said, "the five colors are blinding", but this is another aspect of the color of the impact of people, people are

Can not reject the "five colors! "

Human beings cannot reject the five colors. The final decision on the meaning of color symbols is ultimately an era of color aesthetic interest and aesthetic

ideas, so there will be the Zhou Dynasty, "the evil of purple to take Zhu" evolved into the next generation of purple robes and gold belts are high-ranking officials of the pronouns, the people because of the joy of

happy purple, so I thought the purple is the color of auspicious, the color of the sky, and the gods and immortals! It is associated with the gods and immortals.

Color is the property of the objective object, is the performance of the different wavelengths of light, and wavelengths in the objective is continuous, indivisible

cut, from the objective color to the color of the human language reflects the color of the difference between the language of the color is a section of the section of the

section of the color as if the color of the boundaries between the same, which is just to illustrate the understanding of the objective limitations, not to say that the color

is not the same as the color of the color

of the color, but the color is not the same as the color of the color. This is not to say that color

has a symbolic meaning of its own (color words are of course symbols), the symbolic meaning of color is given by a specific culture

when we see words such as "black words, black goods, black lines, black gangs, black stores, black five types", we get the symbolic

significance of the color black. >

Symbolic significance, when we see a character come out on the stage depicting a black face, we know through the black color that this is a righteous,

straightforward character. The sources of the symbolic meaning of color are varied when carefully discerned. One of them is related to the feeling given by the color source body,

such as white has the symbolic significance of purity and elegance, mainly because white is the attribute of white clouds, white snow, white flowers, white jade and other

beautiful things in people's eyes; the second is related to the psychological effect of color on people, the reason why pink is liked by people and becomes a symbol of romance,

tenderness, and dreams, mainly because This color can make people quiet, cause comfort, warm feeling; Third, the symbolic meaning of color

historical causes, European history for international diplomacy in the field of official documents had used white cover, along

to the white paper of the White Paper on the symbolic significance of the government's work report; Fourth, or with the traditional concepts and customs of life related to

, such as As the saying goes, "near Zhu is red, near the ink is black", black has become a symbol of evil, reactionary, now people often say "money laundering

", "triad" and so on that is derived.

This is the first time that we have seen this.

Humans know the objective physical world through language, the results of its understanding and through the language retained, and the language to reflect the physical

World are refracted through the world of culture, so although the color is objective, but in the language of the various nationalities in the type of color

and the name of each different. It is said that the world has more than 4000 kinds of colors reflected in the language, according to expert research, the world all

there are nationalities have the concept of black, white two colors, if there is a third color must be red, followed by green, yellow, blue, however

differences are the main, such as the French language does not have English words "brown Influence on people's color recognition, such as literature shows that the North American Indian

Dian language called "Zuni", its vocabulary does not have "orange" and "yellow" distinction, the Zuni people accordingly The Zuni people are accordingly

less able than English speakers to distinguish between the two colors. In identifying the colors of the rainbow, Europeans can distinguish six distinct bands of light,

namely, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, whereas the Chinese can see seven colors of light, including red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue,

and purple. The more important difference lies in the difference of the cultural meaning of color symbols, such as English and Chinese, although there are red

, green, yellow and other colors, but the Chinese green has no jealousy of the meaning of red, red does not have the meaning of danger, violence, extremism,

yellow does not have the meaning of timidity; the preferences of each ethnic group of the color is also different, the Han Chinese revered the yellow color, because the yellow color is a symbol of

Sacred, dignity and territory, the British and Americans love blue, because blue symbolizes loyalty and nobility, the Irish like green, Ba

Westerners prefer red, and so on; color caused by the emotional response to the objective reasons, social and historical and cultural constraints play a more important

The color of the color is not the same as the color of the skin, but the color of the skin.

The culture of color is a spectacular sight in the world of culture. In Chinese culture, color is inextricably linked to craftsmanship, to the fine arts

Color is inextricably linked to poetry, to customs, and so on, and each of these sectors of the culture resonates with an eloquent symphony of color. Chinese language

Qi was more "literate cloth and silk", and some of the silk unearthed from ancient tombs was dyed brown, red, black, purple, yellow, etc.

Chinese painting and textiles were also beautifully patterned, with brilliant colors.

Although Chinese painting is famous for ink painting, ink is divided into five colors, namely burnt, thick, gray, light and clear.

The North and South Dynasties, "Landscape Pine and Stone Grid"

reflects the ancient concept of color science, "high ink is green, the lower ink is red," the importance of the ancients on color can be seen.

The painter's eyes of the water color of the four seasons are very clear, Guo Xi "Linquan Gaozhi" cloud: "water color: spring green, summer blue, autumn green, winter black.

"Chinese paintings are not lacking in the beauty of color," the Tang Dynasty Record of Famous Paintings "recorded Li Si Xun's green and green landscape painting was called by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty

"the first of the country's landscapes". These court paintings were mostly colored with stone green, stone green, stone yellow, cinnabar, rouge, lead powder, mud and gold, etc.

First, they were filled in with color, and the colors were brilliant and opulent. Chinese poetry and painting are in the same lineage, there is often a kind of "poetry in the painting, painting in the poem"

relationship, poetry is also colorful, a trend, many poets are masters of color writing. Many poets were masters of colorful writing, such as Qu Yuan, who wrote about colorful flowers and plants in "Li Sao"

, and "Invocation of the Soul," which featured emerald feather-decorated draperies, red-painted walls, sand-coated windows and railings, and black-jade-embedded roof beams. Poets are famous for the wonderful mood formed by colors, such as Cui Gu, whose Title of the Capital City

was purple at night. The red flag was half rolled up on the water, and the frosty drums did not sound cold. I would like to report to you the intention of the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for you."

These poets and verses are too numerous to mention.

In traditional customs, the color culture is even more intense. Red is one of the favorite colors of the Chinese people, every New Year festivals,

happy occasions, friends and relatives gatherings, there is no lack of red. Yellow is the color of the emperor, the imperial palace, the altar and temple and other major buildings more

The cultural significance of each color, although there are some changes in various times, but still has a relative stability, at least in

a certain period of time, and even has been inherited, especially those who agreed on the cultural significance. For example, the pre-Qin Zhou dynasty revered

red color, where to comply with the Zhou rituals of the people and the people of the red are called Chinese, Chinese contains red meaning, commonly known as the Chinese, and now the Chinese

people in foreign countries are also known as the Chinese. Yellow from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, until the end of feudal society, are symbols of imperial power. Color in each era always
