精题详解
Today, if we talk about a colour, we only need to use a simple name. For example, “blue” in Chinese is lan. But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing.
Similar to the colour wheel developed by Isaac Newton, ancient Chinese people created colours using the idea of pure(纯的) colours and mixed colours. There were five pure colours, including qing (blue), chi (red), yellow, white and black. These basic colours can be put together to produce mixed colours. For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green. Lots of colours came into being thanks to this.
As for naming, ancient Chinese people paid much attention to the imagination that colours bring. For example, dongfang jibai is a light blue colour. The blue colour describes what the sky looks like early in the morning. Similarly, the pink colour taoyao is used to describe blossoming(开花的) peach trees. The purple colour mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain.
Meanwhile, a colour was not just a colour, but a symbol of social status(地位) in ancient China. For example, yellow was long seen as the symbol of power. Only the leader of the country and his family could use it. During the Tang Dynasty, officials needed to wear clothes with certain colours. Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes, while those of the fourth and fifth wore red clothes, the sixth and seventh officials wore green clothes. Blue was for those in the two lowest grades.
The colours that the ancients left us can be seen in society today. Nowadays, some TV programmes present traditional Chinese colours in clothes and buildings, which excite people's interest in ancient colours.
