What is China's traditional view of color?

China's traditional view of color can be called "five-color view", that is, red, yellow, cyan, white and black. Until now, we still call many colors "colorful" and "colorful". Black and white are the two poles of color, "You" belongs to black, "You" belongs to white, and the extremes of being and not have laid the foundation for replacing all colors with black and white. At the same time, the five-element color has also formed the basic concept of folk art. In the masks of folk social fire, traditional opera, facial makeup, local opera and Nuo opera, the five-element color has become a symbol of identity and character. "The red ones are brave, and the white ones are traitors ...". Folk woodblock New Year pictures are mostly printed in five colors, and the color juxtaposition effect is strong, loud and clear. Folk embroidery and clay sculpture also use five colors.
