One, the symbol of white death In the traditional culture of China, white gives people a symbol without blood, and when blood is exhausted, there is no vitality. So white also represents death and bad luck. According to the theory of yin and yang, the west is a white tiger, killing gods. So we can find that when ancient people executed criminals, they usually put them in autumn to adapt to the weather. So white was also a taboo color in ancient times. On the other hand, the living conditions of ancient people were backward, and people often froze to death in winter. And white corresponds to snow, so it gives people a cold breath.
Second, the application of white in life Although white has a bad reputation in ancient times, it is still necessary to wear white on some occasions. For example, when a funeral is held at home, a white mourning hall will be set up, and white rice is rice. When the deceased goes to the funeral, a white flag will be hung and white coins will be scattered. We can find that all phrases are related to white, and they all have unlucky meanings. In addition, when we watch the drama, we will find that some sinister villains will dress up as white faces. For example, Cao Cao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a white-faced figure in the play. In life, we will also call people with mental retardation idiots and so on. It can be seen that white is a derogatory term in our life.
Third, white is a color taboo. China's idea of dialogue is more complicated. In primitive society, our ancestors had a fear of white because of timidity, so white was a taboo color. Later, with the development of the times, white has evolved into various meanings. , but mostly unlucky.
