Chinese traditional color series?

"The cherry blossoms are blooming downstairs, take a photo!"

"The newly roasted chestnuts are really beautiful in color."

"The buds on the treetops in spring are green. It's fun to watch! "

In our daily life, we are often attracted by colors.

But you know what? These colors are very beautiful. Behind them, there is a mysterious world called Chinese traditional colors.

This is the theme that Guo Hao, a cultural scholar, has studied for more than two years. Today, I will bring you his new book "Chinese Traditional Colors: Color General Education 100 Lecture".

This book tells the origin and allusions of 65,438+000 traditional colors in the history of China in the form of prose.

The so-called Chinese traditional color is the way that China people define color and the way that China people look at the world.

Behind the color is the oriental aesthetics and ancient wisdom that have been passed down for thousands of years.

How beautiful are these colors?

Pale is the green color when bamboo is born in spring;

Autumn fragrance is an autumn dance with specific colors and images;

Moonlight is a piece of blue and white under the moonlight;

Lv Yun is a woman who combs her hair in the morning and has bright hair color in the dark.

What is even more surprising is the color matching of 100 and the exquisite physical photos of 100. These photos are all captured from our daily life.

For example, we all drink rice porridge, but can you think that rice porridge is also a traditional color?

It is called Mi Tang Jiao, which represents the aesthetic characteristics of traditional Chinese colors. First, figuratively, the rice soup is colored, and the focal word indicates that the color value is light; The second is the image, taken from the rice soup in daily life, which is quite interesting.

Physical objects correspond to colors one by one, presenting a real and considerable color aesthetic feeling. You will find that the whole world is poetic in your eyes in an instant.

In other words, when you finish reading this book, you will also cultivate a pair of eyes that know traditional colors, which is beauty.

Even better, this book traces back to 100 kinds of traditional colors in previous lives, all from allusions.

It takes color as the observation incision of Chinese civilization, and integrates thousands of years of architecture, utensils, costumes and paintings. It is a brilliant cultural treasure in China traditional culture.

This is not Guo Hao's first book about traditional colors.

In 2020, his book Traditional Chinese Colors: Color Aesthetics of the Forbidden City was published and sold well.

Since its listing, it has been printed 10 times and 9 times every six months, and it has been reported by Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, Guangming Daily, Jiefang Daily and CCTV.

At that time, Luoyang paper was expensive and was welcomed by the whole people.

The book "Chinese Traditional Colors: Color Aesthetics of the Forbidden City" focuses on the beauty of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, but in fact, in the process of consulting nearly 400 kinds of documents and classics, Guo Hao found that:

In ancient times, water color, skylight, vegetation, utensils, food ... almost nothing could not be used as color words by China people.

In other words, the traditional colors of China are not only hidden in treasures, but also in our daily life.

Inspired by this, Guo Hao carefully observed the life of contemporary people and wrote the book "Chinese Traditional Colors: Color General Education 100".

This time, we also launched a special package for two books.

A set of books will not only let you see the amazing colors in the Forbidden City, a master of aesthetics in China.

Let the beauty of traditional colors come into your life, and let everyone in China get it and feel it.

There is always a saying that China people don't appreciate beauty, but in fact we have influenced Japanese, Korean and other East Asian countries.

As Guo Hao, the author of this book, said:

"I suddenly realized that we know too little about the past. The significance of studying color lies in aesthetics, which is the best precipitation of a country's collective consciousness. Aesthetics is not only beautiful, but also represents order and civilization. "

Knowing traditional colors, you can better understand everything in the world.

In this book "Chinese Traditional Colors: Color General Education 100 Lecture", you will find that the beauty of colors is not only ubiquitous in our life, but also there are various short stories behind it, which is very interesting.

The yellow used in ancient royal dresses is like the color of sunshine.

The colors of ancient costumes are all related to etiquette. Everyone looked up and saw the gorgeous sun, but they were afraid to look straight. The royal family used this to strengthen their majesty.

The color of red walls in traditional buildings in China can be called "tooth blush".

The poet Bai Juyi is an admirer of this color. One of the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty was the "Fei robe". Later, Bai Juyi became the secretariat of Zhongzhou, and he was qualified to wear royal clothes.

He was so happy that he wrote a poem: "The robe is as red as fire and as white as silk."

"The night is purple" comes from a poem by Li He, "The horn is ringing all over the sky in autumn, and the swallows are stuffed with fat to coagulate the purple at night".

The magnificent colors created by nature have been polished by the poet's literary thoughts and turned into romantic expressions.

If you meet a beautiful blue bird, its blue is the traditional color of "stealing blue".

The ancients did not have such words as saturation and brightness. They skillfully expressed the concept of superior value in language.

"Steal", "steal", "small", "return" and "refuse" all mean light color.

These come from the traditional colors of nature and daily life, and contain the ancient people's observation and understanding of everything.

China people's aestheticism and poetry are directly confirmed by their senses in traditional colors. Almost every time I know a traditional color, I can't help but sigh how it looks so good.

Oriental aesthetics has spread for thousands of years.

The traditional color of China is the elegance recorded by the ancients observing mountains, rivers, sun and moon, plants, fish and insects, and it is also the poetry that melts into life.

Newborn mulberry leaves and yellow lotus leaves can both be called "barnyard grass leaves";

Sunset mist covers the purple of distant mountains, named "sunset purple";

At dawn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, that is, "the east is white";

The golden yellow river is called "Yellow River Glass".

The ancients even integrated this observation of nature into the real world, making traditional colors have a real connection with life.

For example, different dynasties have different preferences for colors.

The popular saying is that "Xia Dynasty is still black, Shang Dynasty is still white, Zhou Dynasty is still red, and Qin Dynasty is still black", which actually originated from the Yin and Yang elements since Xia Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty established a color system corresponding to costumes and ceremonies, thus establishing social norms and order. Slowly, there are five kinds of positive colors and five kinds of halftone, which constitute the theoretical system of Chinese traditional colors.

"Xuan" and "Meng" are also very advanced colors.

Many times, the ancient emperors would choose a dress with a black top and a red bottom when offering sacrifices, but it was not simply a black top and a red bottom.

Xuan, when the sun is about to go out of the horizon in the morning, the little light coming out is black and red; In contrast, the sun has set on the horizon, and the corner of reflection is red and yellow.

One is the beginning and the other is the end of the day. China people wear it to show their reverence for heaven and earth.

Chinese traditional colors have also become an export of culture and etiquette.

In 20 19, when Emperor Akihito ascended the throne, an important picture was "Huang Bi dyed the imperial robe", which was the "Huang Zhe robe" inherited from the Tang Dynasty in ancient China.

Cuckoo is rare, so in Japan, people use Cotinus coggygria and the Soviet Union to dye it, instead of Huang Zhe dyed with Cuckoo. This is the color of the sun, the color of the son of heaven.

When you really enter the world of traditional colors, you will find that the beauty of the world is taken care of by it.

"Looking up to the sky, the clouds are green and the mountains are purple", describing the beauty drunk "Zhu Yanhui" and "Hao wrist congeals frost and snow" ... between the lines, it is delicate and gentle, blending into life and enriching the heart.

It can be spread evenly at 180 degrees for easy reading.

Illustrated, high-quality coated paper, good reading experience.

The cover is gilded and exquisite.

At present, this revival wave of China's aesthetics is not only manifested in color, but also in all aspects of people's lives.

More and more young people in China realize that the pursuit of beauty is no longer an outward demand, but an inward, forward and traceable exploration.

"The moon is white, the sky is blue, the dawn is early, the butterfly is red and the mountain is dawn."

This color is the best in China.

I hope this set of books can decorate your life and mood and make you have good company every day.
