When it comes to the classic color of China, what do you think of?

For a long time, many people's answers are red with big green.

But in fact, the aesthetics of the ancients are very advanced.

In the ancient Chinese classics, there are many beautiful colors, like the purple Mountain purple, the color that the poet stands in front of the mountain in the evening; like Hai Tianxia, ​​the red red in the sky in the sky.

The so -called traditional Chinese color is the way Chinese define color. And this is a part of the lack of modern education.

Guo Hao, a cultural scholar who is obsessed with color, and Li Jianming, a designer of the Forbidden City Cultural and Creative, took a few years to read 400 library -related literature classics. From hundreds of thousands of palace cultural relics, 96 cultural relics of the most seasonal seasons were selected. Out of 384 Chinese traditional colors from the Forbidden City, compiled the book "Traditional Chinese: Color Aesthetics in the Forbidden City".

Since the publication of this set of books, it has led the trend of traditional Chinese aesthetics and filled the research gap in the traditional Chinese color field.

This time, the author Guo Hao departed from the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and included 100 high -definition images taken from all over China. The scenery of the mountains and rivers and the traditional color corresponds to one -to -one, which is written into "Chinese Traditional Color: Guoshan River".

The image in the book spans east, west, south and south, and includes extremely elegant and magnificent, daily life and despair adventure, civilized creation and nature.

Luoyang's Obi -colored Peony, Blue Dye Palace in Wuzhen, the Gyreal Palace Wall of the Forbidden City, the secret color porcelain of the National Museum, the Yundang Caoming on the Tibet Plateau, the soft blue lake in Kashgar in Xinjiang, the 10,000 hectares of Cuitao in the East China Sea ... Mowing

Let us intuitively feel the broad space of the Chinese land, and the shock and stunning of the rich colors.

In this book, the traditional color flowing in the Chinese land and Chinese civilization are recreated. Perhaps it is a new path for us to discover the beauty of China.

The national color is also mountains and rivers.

Open a new perspective, what amazing representative color of your city?

China has a territory of 9.6 million square kilometers.

Too many scenery, too many colorful colors.

Because of different experiences, seeing different scenery, everyone in the eyes of everyone has an impressive background.

For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Tang Dynasty of the Night City in Xi'an, the yellow rape yellow in Qinghai ...

If the city we live in, what color would you choose with a color?

In the book "Chinese Traditional Color: Guoshan River", the color passes through the comparison of today's mountains and rivers, and one by one on the pages of the present page.

Beijing | Yellow River Liuli

The brightest color system in Beijing's Forbidden City is the large -scale visual effects of yellow glazed tiles and red walls.

Huang Liuli tiles can be made in the color of "Yellow River glazed", and the red wall can be used as "tooth" color.

"Yellow River Liuli" comes from the "Cross Yellow River" by the Ming Dynasty poet Ji Kun:

"Thirty miles, the sun Yao Huang Liuli."

Zhejiang | Hai Tianxia

Sea glowing on coastal areas such as Zhoushan, Zhejiang, looks white and red, light and elegant.

There is a poem: "The officer is in the Xiaqian Luo, and the rain is light and the sea waves."

This color is described.

Liaoning Huludao | Huang Dan

Liaoning Huludao has gorgeous Japanese.

Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem to describe the gorgeous autumn color that he saw when he hunting into the Mulan enclosure in autumn:

"Two peaks are lined up, and Wanlin's paintings are Huang Dan."

Huang Dan is made of lead, sulfur, nitrogen, etc., so it is also called lead Dan.

Huang Dan's color is red like the beginning of the sun.

Xinjiang | Twilight

The thin purple and distant colors of Xinjiang are deep and gentle "Music Mountain Purple", gentle but exactly magnificent.

"Teng Wang Pavilion Preface" wrote: "The water is exhausted and the cold pond is clear, the smoke is glowing and the twilight is purple."

At the dusk, the poet observed the interweaving of the smoke between the mountains and the sunset, and the thin layer of purple fog covered Mushan.

What are the traditional Chinese colors in your city?

What kind of national color does the great mountain and rivers of the motherland be carried through the north and south?

The author Guo Hao, who has visited the primary and secondary schools in Tokyo, found that the color of large walls in the corridor is the traditional color of Japan.

The school also writes each traditional Japanese allusions, and this corridor is a corridor for elementary and middle schools to go to get out of class every day.

In the ears, let students know the traditional Japanese color.

Guo Hao said:

I especially hope that our primary and secondary school students, like the primary and secondary school students in Japan, can easily come into contact with Chinese traditional colors.

The work of sorting the traditional color lasted for a long time, and as a living traditional culture, it can be passed on. The colors of the Chinese are not only romantic, good words, but also unique mood.

The natural observation of the landscape is internalized into civilization, and finally forms a beautiful and vivid color culture -the national color reflects the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers also carry the national color.

From the orange -pink sea glow of Zhoushan in Linhai, to the overlapping blue -purple -purple in Zhaosu Cloud in Xinjiang Zhaosu Cloud and the grassland; from the emerald waves of Wanbird Island in Yantai to the endless gentle clear West Lake ...

In "National Color Mountain River", the combination of space and color is presented by the extreme beauty, showing a new angle of China.

The heavenly mountains and sky are hazy and white and slightly yellow. This delicate color is called "yellow and white tour";

Huang Baiyou is about color, and it seems that it is not color. This is the subtlety of Chinese traditional color.

Colors can come from the figuration of all things in the world, or the image of the human mind. The Ming Dynasty literati Tang Xianzu, who wrote "Peony Pavilion", was gentle and gentle.

Friends Wu Xu persuaded Tang Xianzu to go to Huizhou to meet the prime minister Xu Guo who retired at home, but Tang Xianzu wrote a song "You Friends Lack of Persuasion for Huangshan Baiyue Tour":

"I want to know gold and silver, and I swim from yellow and white. I have no dreams in my life, and I have no dreams of Huizhou."

After Tang Xianzu, we not only regarded Huang Baiyou as the colors of Huang and Bai, but also regarded as our lingering fairy dreams and wealthy dreams.

When the top of Taishan is white, it can be called "the east is both white", which is both written and freehand.

饰 is a ritual clothing that inherits the original color of the leather, and it is also the color of the herdsses in Inner Mongolia.

The flowing yellow and Luo Luo are thick and strong land on the plateau.

The broad and magnificent of the Chinese land complement the richness and beauty of traditional colors.

The mountains and rivers have given us the perception of color, beauty, and civilization, and the color and civilization outline the appearance of the mountains and rivers. Based on this mountain and rivers, the civilization that is perceived for thousands of years has been stunned.

With this approach to life and landscape, culture can be inherited, not just the names in ancient books.

The rhetoric of these Sanyi in the articles of poetry, the mountains and rivers that have not been sorted out by the system are the only color imagination and cultural romance that belongs to us.

The traditional Chinese color searched from nature to find colorful charm, and took the soul of the sun, moon, moon, and fish and insects of mountains and rivers. This is exactly the difference between Chinese traditional colors and realistic Western colors. Our aesthetic concept is more interested in the breath and artistic conception of natural creation. "It seems unknown and knows everywhere."
