really makes me laugh, the first month is already halfway through, I didn’t expect came from the Spring Festival Gala’s "Spring Mountain Learning" , it is still hotly searched, and there are new follow-ups...
Bai Jingting live broadcast two days ago, when asked about the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal Is there anything interesting? There were too many interesting things that he couldn't share with everyone.
The staff next to him whispered "fan, fan". After Xiaobai took over the conversation, the staff continued, "It was Wei Daxun who threw the fan out first."
Xiaobai hurriedly stopped him: "Can you say this? This Can't say, it's hard to say..."
It's hard to comment on this. Please read netizens' hot comments
Let's go back to the original starting point.
"Shangchun Mountain" promotes the local beauty of Guizhou, with green mountains and green waters as the background color, and the dancers' costumes are also green and white. Among the three lead singers of
, Bai Jingting, who stood in the C position at the beginning, wore a black suit, while Wei Daxun and Wei Chen mainly wore white suits.
When many people watched the live broadcast, they only felt that the black spot in the middle was a bit abrupt.
does not go well with the theme of fresh green in early spring and the overall stage of light colors. , but I didn’t think much about it, thinking it was designed this way.
It wasn’t until there was a quarrel on the Internet that I realized that it was indeed a bit strange.
If you turn black clothes into white, will the picture become more harmonious? The visual experience is also more comfortable.
In the latest textbook of "Spring Mountain Learning", a fan asked Bai Jingting why he wore black.
Xiaobai: Um... he was hemming and hawing, and then changed the topic.
Friends in Guizhou expressed dissatisfaction with Bai Jingting wearing black. said that black is generally worn only when going up the mountain to worship ancestors, which is unlucky for the Chinese New Year.
But some netizens countered that most places wear white when visiting graves.
No wait, originally we were just discussing screen comfort, but why did it rise to the level of customs and aesthetic preferences?
White is one of the most common and simple colors in our daily life. It is beautiful, high-end and versatile.
But white is also very contradictory. It not only represents light, holiness, and purity, but it also easily makes people think of illness, poverty, and treachery...
As one of the five traditional correct colors in China, why do some people think white is noble and others think it is unlucky? Some people pursue whiteness as beauty, while others are taboo and afraid to avoid it?
How many of the color systems and deep meanings of white have we not seriously understood, but are deeply affected by it without even realizing it?
Today, Yang will take everyone to study "Bai Xue".
is not an artist with the surname Bai, but a white aesthetic.
The positive color of white
What white is the white you are talking about?
It is written in "Huainanzi": "Color is white and the five colors are complete."
In ancient Eastern philosophy, white is the source of all colors and the basis for the transformation and education of all things in the world.
is the simplest and most complex, the purest and richest, so it can accommodate all changes without change. Why is
defined like this? Because white is a color of nothingness, it only has brightness and no chroma.
In most dictionaries, the first definition of dialogue is "the color of frost and snow", which is the visual impression of frost and snow reflected by sunlight.
sisters can simply understand white as the color of light.
We all know that light is colorful and ever-changing.
In the ancient view of color, white is not a single color, but has infinite hues, representing all bright and light colors.
The white color system in the national colors (part)
In the traditional Chinese color color card, white is one of the five correct colors (green, red, yellow, white and black) established in the Spring and Autumn Period. It has rich color divisions:
gelatin, white marble, The names are elegant and unique.
The word "白" appeared as early as in oracle bone inscriptions, as the pictogram of white rice grains.
Oracle Bone Dictionary
In Chinese characters with white as the radical, there are many extended meanings of white.
"玚" describes the whiteness of the moon, "白" describes the whiteness of people, and "晔" expresses the appearance of white flowers on vegetation.
The three kinds of white mentioned in Mencius' debate also correspond to specific characters: the white of feathers is called "white bird", the white of snow is called "white", and the white of jade is called "皦".

In ancient poetry, dialogue is also expressed in detail.
In Su Dongpo's "Ode to the Red Cliff", "We are lying in the boat with our pillows, and we don't know how white the east is."
The east is white, a kind of oriental dawn. The sun is about to jump over the horizon, and the sky is blue with a little white color.
In Bai Juyi's "Pipa Journey", "The east boat and the west boat are silent, only the heart of the river is visible." The moon is white in autumn." Lu You's "Ye Ji" also wrote, "Wine is drunk at night when you are thirsty, and the moon is green during the day."
The moon is white, which is a white color that appears bluish under the moon, " A Dream of Red Mansions 》Lin Daiyu loves this color number the most.
The beauty of white lies not only in the ever-changing color itself, but also reflects the aesthetic preferences of the Chinese people and the wisdom of Eastern philosophy.
In ancient my country, white initially held a relatively high status. Like the ancient beasts and immortals in myths and legends, most of them are white.
Historically, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty especially advocated white .
According to "Historical Records·Yin Benji", "Tang Nai corrected Shuo, changed the color of clothes, kept them white, and used daytime for court meetings."
After the Yin Shang ascended the throne, they issued three new regulations, one of which was to change clothing. White is the main color.
There are two main reasons why the Shang Dynasty designated white as the national color:
First, according to the "Five Elements Theory" of our ancestors, the attribute of the Shang Dynasty was gold, and the star corresponding to gold was Taibai Venus, and its color was white .
Venus is the brightest celestial body and is also known as the morning star
by the ancients. Secondly, white was regarded as an auspicious color in the Shang Dynasty and was considered to represent purity and nobility. It is often used in important occasions such as worship and sacrifice.
Shang kings usually wore white robes made of silk with exquisite embroidery of dragons, phoenixes, birds and other mythological animal patterns.
Not only the clothing, but also the flags and utensils of the Yin people, the horses used for driving, and the cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs used for sacrifices are also mainly white.
This piece of white pottery passed down from the Shang Dynasty was a holy vessel used by the Yin and Shang nobles for sacrifices, comparable to bronze vessels.

The Yin people, who prized white, also regarded some rare white beasts as symbols of good fortune.
In the movie "Fengshen", the nine-tailed white fox is regarded as auspicious.
(Automatic brain supplement of Teacher Fei Xiang’s Business English: You all say that the white fox is a monster, but she is obviously Xiangray).
However, by the Zhou Dynasty, white became a taboo color and was mostly used in funerals (more on this later).
Later in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, white was also popular and was extended to mean virtuous and pure.
"Old Stories from the East Palace" written by Zhang Chang of the Western Jin Dynasty states, "When the prince accepted his concubine, he wore a white silk shirt with white gauze and purple knot tassel."
The emperor at that time often wore a white gauze hat, and officials were popular with white belts. Also wear white silk wedding clothes.

Not only that, white is also consistent with integrity and honesty in Confucianism, and Taoist philosophy of having no desires and seeking, returning to nature.
Confucian scholars often choose white clothes, hoping to show their purity and noble character.
In the movie "Heroes", white symbolizes loyalty and perseverance to the great cause of assassinating the Qin Dynasty, and also shows the solemnity of mourning
The negative color of white
is associated with filial piety and brings the meaning of mourning
The original meaning is bright, clean, and status Why is white, the most orthodox color, associated with mourning?
This has to mention the historical facts mentioned in "Fengshen". After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Bai Bai became a victim of the establishment of legitimacy through dynasty changes.
The Western Zhou Dynasty, who was good at divination, believed in the changing of the five elements and their mutual growth and restraint. The Shang Dynasty is dominated by gold and advocates white, while the Zhou Dynasty is dominated by fire and specializes in gold, so the Zhou Dynasty advocates red.

In order to reflect the lofty status of red, white was naturally placed on the opposite side and was regarded as an ominous color.
was gradually described to all kinds of ordinary things, and even became synonymous with evil things, such as funeral attire, and some taboo things.
At the same time, in the Zhou Dynasty, which was based on the etiquette system, funeral ceremonies took shape at that time, and there were also strict regulations on funeral clothing.
The crown, clothes, clothes and shoes are all white, and are divided into five grades according to the severity of the mourning, the thickness of the workmanship (raw linen, cooked linen, coarse white cloth, fine white cloth), and the length of the period.
Zhou Dynasty Five Server System
At that time, conditions were limited, and everything was done in the simplest way, using kudzu and hemp that did not require any dyeing treatment to reduce costs.
Gradually, white became a typical color in funeral rituals, and it became a convention passed down from generation to generation.
and white means poverty and humbleness , which is also taken from the color hierarchy of traditional Chinese clothing.
In ancient times, due to limitations in dyeing technology, white, which could be obtained by rinsing, was the cheapest and became the color of common clothing for the lower classes.
Sisters will all memorize "There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white men in communication." Bai Ding refers to ordinary people who are uneducated.
White changes to a negative direction, which is also reflected in Chinese. Many words related to white have gradually taken on a negative tone.
For example, being poor and white, daydreaming; there are also expressions of cunning and cunning: singing white face, white-eyed wolf...
In Peking Opera, the treacherous and sinister characters all have white faces
Whiteness is beauty
The pursuit of contemporary aesthetics of fair complexion
We always say , the popular aesthetic of white, thin and young people is deformed and unhealthy.
However, the pursuit of fair skin color has been an aesthetic concept that has been circulating in China for thousands of years.
The preference for skin color in traditional culture is fully reflected in literature and drama.
As the old saying goes, "One white hides all ugliness." Fair skin serves as a measure of female beauty and seems to be a privilege of the upper class.
As early as the Shang Dynasty, some women applied lead powder to their faces to whiten and brighten them. The effect was good but it was toxic.
"The Book of Songs" also mentioned that "hands are as tender as spring catkins, and skin is as white and moist as gelatin." Pursue white, tender and delicate skin texture.
Traditional Chinese paintings of ladies also show that women at that time deliberately applied white powder on their foreheads, bridges of noses, and chins to brighten their skin tone.
White is also used as a status symbol for nobles.
Because white is easy to get dirty and requires time and effort to take care of, in ancient times only the upper class could wear and use white.
At the same time, nobles often do not need to be outdoors for a long time, so their skin is relatively fair and smooth.
The popular term "white, rich and beautiful" today also bundles white with the color of wealth.

Over time, these standards of whiteness as beauty have subtly influenced today's aesthetic preferences for fair skin to a large extent.
But it is true that fair skin often means beauty. A fair complexion can cover up other shortcomings in appearance and make up for less refined facial features.
Overall, white is both simple and complex, both positive and negative, and its colors have myriad meanings.
But in fact, color is not intentional and depends entirely on human definition. It is we humans who give them good and bad luck, wealth and poverty, beauty and ugliness.
As the purest color, white shows its inclusiveness and unique aesthetics as the source of all colors, allowing us to release our infinite imagination and show more possibilities.
