Talk about the special function of color in life.

Different colors have different functions. Take purple as an example:

1. In China tradition, purple represents the spirit of saints and emperors. For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing is also called the Forbidden City, and there are so-called purple spirits from the East. Affected by this, the Japanese royal family still respects purple. This stems from the worship of Polaris in ancient China.

2. In the west, purple also represents nobility, and it often becomes the favorite color of nobles. This is because the purple dyes commonly used by Tyres in ancient Rome were only worn by nobles, and almost all the clothes dyed were dark red, which was also very popular among monarchs at that time.

In Byzantine times, emperors from royal blood would add the words "born in purple gate" to their titles to show their orthodox blood, which is different from monarchs who obtained the throne by other means.

Purple has been the color of religion since ancient times. In Christianity, purple represents supremacy and power from the Holy Spirit. The clothing, curtains and sacred objects of Jewish high priests often use purple. Catholicism calls purple bishop color. Bishops wear purple;

The main color of Pentecost (waiting for the birth of Jesus) is purple. Purple represents sacredness, honor and love. In high etiquette churches (such as Catholicism and Anglican Church), purple tablecloths and purple candles will be replaced.

The Purple Heart Medal is a medal awarded by the United States to soldiers who were injured or killed in battle. This medal was established by George Washington in 1782, originally to commend soldiers who have made outstanding achievements in the military. Purple may be chosen because it can reflect the extraordinary contribution made by the grantee.

5. "Purple Prose" is used to describe those flashy and extremely gorgeous languages. Purple is bold and vivid, so the image of "purple" is often used for exaggeration in writing. In English, purple is also used to express "angry purple".
