On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, "Man Ting Fang · National Color" let us see the beauty of Chinese traditional colors.

These picturesque and poetic color titles, created by a thousand years of civilization, are the elegance and taste, love and detail that our ancestors passed through heaven and earth to give to future generations. Just reading them, they are drunk!

01. Dongfang Jibai

Su Dongpo wrote in "Ode to Red Cliff" that Su Zi and his guests "lie in a boat together, not knowing the whiteness of the East". At dawn, the sky is blue and white, which is called "East is white" in the poet's imagination.

Since then, many scholars have described the color - "East is white", which is unique to China because of the color characteristics of concrete images and images.

02. Dushan Purple

It first appeared in Wang Bo's Preface to Tengwang Pavilion: "The cold pool is clear when the water is exhausted, and the smoke is condensed and the mountain is purple at dusk". The poet stood in front of the sunset mountain. Because the mountain was shrouded in smoke, it gave out a thin purple light, so he called it "Twilight Mountain Purple". The peerless talents are unique in their unique articles, and they are also famous in the world.

03. Fushe

"In the reign of Emperor Qianlong, rose purple was favored. In the last years, King Fuwenxiang was fond of deep crimson color, which was called the blessing color." In addition, the Record of Yangzhou Boat Painting also recorded that "the recent use of sorghum red and cherry red is called the blessing color", and the blessing color, which is good for the word, was also included in the blessing.

04. blushing

It is also used as "blush". "blush" was first used in the Tang Dynasty. It mainly refers to the blush after drinking. Li Bai said in his poem that "the falling flowers are a little more, and the beauty wants to get drunk and blush." This color has its own picture sense, and it is quite nimble. The beauty is like a flower, like a jade, and looks charming. A little blush makes her lovely.

05. Luozidai

"Charming and not bothering with snails and dais", the hot "snails and dais" mentioned by "Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Lang Ya Bang", is an expensive mineral pigment imported from Persia in ancient times, which is moth green, the same color as the snails in the shells of snails. Similarly, "green bird head Dai" is the same color as the green bird head.

06. Xizi

The "Xizi color" obtained from the "desire to compare the West Lake with the West Lake" is as green as the water of the West Lake. This natural freshness is used to modify the color of wine and clothing.

07. Xuantian

Why "Xuan"? Xuan means that at the beginning of the day, when the sun is about to rise from the horizon, the sky appears red in black. This moment is very short. If you wait for the sunrise in the wild and see the red color, you will see the "mystery" recorded by the ancients at that moment.

08, 纁 (x ū n) Yellow

This color is at the end of the day, when the sun has not yet set, the red and yellow interlaced residual light reflected from the sky may be one minute later, and the sky will darken.

Xuan and Xuan constitute a very grand color in ancient China. In most dynasties, the clothes worn by the emperors when they offered sacrifices were upper and lower, which expressed the Chinese people's reverence for heaven and earth.

09. Tianshuibi

This unique color came from the court of Empress Li of the Southern Dynasty, which also led to a rather aesthetic accident. It is said that once the palace maid was dyeing clothes, but she forgot to collect them at night and was wet by dew. The next day, she was surprised to find that the clothes dyed by dew changed into colors between blue and green, "Tianshuibi" is named after.

10. Hai Tianxia

Haitianxia comes from the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau at that time dyed a new color, which is called "the sea sky glow is light on the silk", just like the sea glow on the silk, which is very moving!

You should know that the "Luo" in silk and satin is very thin. At that time, people had to wear this color of silk clothes. They also had to pay attention to: the outside must be covered with sky blue and bamboo green silk clothes. "The rustling ripples lining the sea glow", showing the noble spirit salvaged from poetry, different from red and green, very elegant.

11. Azure

The sentence "The sky is blue and I'm waiting for you" has made many people realize the beauty of the artistic conception of the empty and misty color. The sky is blue. After the heavy rain, the color exposed in the crack of the cloud is a bit like the tender green, but not dazzling green, blue and blue.

Some people say that sky blue is the background color of Song porcelain and Song people. It is clear and transparent, like jade but not jade. After the rain, the casual natural beauty is unforgettable.

12. Steal blue

The words used by the ancients to express low saturation are also very interesting. To say "steal blue" is like saying a little bit of stolen blue, as if the color has its own life experience. There are also "Vulcan Red", "Stealing Li", and "unintentional green". The color is alive and has a temperament.

13. Third Young Master

In the Tang Dynasty, the clothes above the third grade were purple. Here, the three princes refer to the purple clothes of the three high officials. Just read the name, and the sense of orthodoxy and elegance will come out.

14. Discovery

The wild apples in the forest will attract birds to peck, and the birds to peck attract the bird hunters, which turns into "Lin Qi". Secretary Gu, "White is more than poison, red is more than pill", "pill" is the color of wild red apples. Just two words, they are soaked with fruit fragrance, and an interesting flower and bird painting emerges.

15. Moonlight

The white of the moon is not white, but a light blue, the elegant color of the moon shining on the snow. When dyeing the cloth, gently pass the white cloth in the water of indigo blue, and the color left is the moon white. Look at this color creation. It feels like it has been left behind in the world.

Xuanzang said in "A Tale of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that "the water is beautiful and the waves are flowing with sweat". "The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lv Clan" mentioned that "the green wolf is also green. In bamboo, it is called 'Cang Xuan' (note: in ancient times, it mostly refers to green bamboo), in the sky, it is called 'Cang Lang', and in water, it is called 'Cang Lang'.". "Canglang" is the color of bamboo at the beginning of spring, and also refers to the color of rivers.
