What is the evolution of the color of traditional clothing? Can you elaborate on it?

(A) the evolution of the color of China's traditional costumes

China's traditional clothing emphasizes the unity and coordination of matter and spirit, and it needs to meet the basic clothing function through the collocation of color and shape, and reflect the human spirit. In other words, the unity of material and spirit is the main connotation of China traditional dress. China has a long history of clothing development, and the cognition of color has evolved with the development of culture and society. People's perception of color has certain class and nationality. People began to use color in clothing, mainly considering the usability and usability of color. At first, when people don't give colors a specific meaning, people will choose which color is easier to get. With the development of the times, dyeing technology is becoming more and more mature. When the ancients chose the color of clothing, they would like to show more natural features, such as mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, plum blossoms, bamboo chrysanthemums and so on. Once the cognition of natural things changes, the colors of these things will be given corresponding meanings.

(2) The color characteristics of traditional costumes in China.

The color characteristics of traditional costumes in China are very obvious, which stems from people's worship of nature. When choosing colors in fashion design, people will try a variety of colors to form different color styles. Traditional colors emphasize conciseness, express people's emotions directly through colors, and the overall presentation effect is pleasing to the eye.

Another characteristic of China's traditional costume color is that it is dominated by primary colors, such as red, yellow and black, which to some extent laid the foundation for the formation of Chinese traditional color system. Especially in Qin and Han Dynasties, black was highly respected in China. With the development of culture and the improvement of people's ideological understanding, the colors used in clothing have gradually become hierarchical. The robe color system in Tang Dynasty is a good example. According to different identities and joints, the color of robes will be different.

The contrast of solid colors is one of the important characteristics of traditional clothing colors in China. China traditional costumes not only like to use primary colors, but also like to achieve more diverse effects through the comparison of primary colors. For example, some traditional costumes like to show anger through the collocation of red and green. Another example is that Manchu costumes are mostly elegant white, supplemented by blue, purple, red and pink. Through clever use, these colors form a contrast between colors, but they are also integrated into the overall performance effect, in which auspicious and noble meanings are skillfully combined to make the overall style of clothing bright and dignified.

Seeking harmony in the contrast of colors is also an important feature of China's traditional costumes, which just reflects the philosophical thinking of the Chinese nation and the integration of Yin and Yang. Although two or more primary colors will be selected for comparison, the overall display effect of clothing can achieve harmony and unity.
