Yellow is by far the most symbolic color in China. A gold palette, often with a touch of ocher or a hint of lemon zest. Yellow is primarily the color of an emblematic river, the Huanghe or Yellow River, but it is also the color of the emperor or eroticism.
It is more than the color of the Chinese flag, the 1949 revolution or Mao's booklet. Red has been the color of China's splendor for centuries. Unlike in the West, where red is rather associated with violence and blood, here it is the color of happiness, a sign of prosperity and success.
In Chinese nature and Chinese craftsmanship, the color blue, often in unusual or unusual shades, exerts a very strong attraction at times.
In Mandarin, the color green is called 'lu', although the term 'qing' is also often used. The latter term, in turn, encompasses a whole palette of green shades, ranging from black to blue. That is why we are talking about blue or green tea. Traditionally green is a masculine color, where red is mainly related to the feminine. In ancient China, green was associated with fertility, because it represents the seed of the heavenly dragon, which embodied the male life force.
