Why is green called "healthy color"?
Green is a very vibrant color, in nature, green represents a natural plant, does not contain any chemicals, and is therefore a color that grows naturally in nature.
In life, many fresh vegetables are mostly green, which can supplement the human body with a lot of nutrition, and after research, many people habitually set the computer desktop to green, but this can only make the screen brightness become less dazzling.
Psychological studies have shown that green can soothe and calm people, but it has no special effect on the eyeball itself. Therefore, green is known as the "color of health".
In addition, some Western countries are very fond of green, and in the traditional costumes of some nobles, people will use green as the main color of their families, using it on flags, badges or clothing.
On the contrary, green is disliked in our country, although on the surface green represents youth vitality, but in life there are bad words, such as: "If you want to get by in life, you have to bring a little green on your head," and the "green" here refers to the "green hat.".
Therefore, in the folk, color has become a "symbol of derailment". But have you ever wondered why it has to be "green"? Why didn't the ancients look at this color?
The influence of feudalism
As we all know, the social hierarchy of ancient society was very strict, in addition to male superiority and female inferiority, people are also divided into "three, six, nine, etc.", using the pyramid metaphor is that the person standing at the top is always "the prince and noble." ”
It can be said that the ancient princes and nobles lived very happily, not only with a lot of land and wealth, but also able to live a life of fine clothes and jade, and their daily expenses were the amount that ordinary people could not get in a lifetime.
Therefore, in order to distinguish them from ordinary people, the princes and nobles will usually wear clothes, styles, colors and textures, etc., according to strict requirements.
The emperor is the supreme ruler, so most of them are mainly yellow, and the princes and ministers can "wear red and purple". But ordinary people can only wear green linen clothes.
The green table is humble
From here, it can be seen that "the lady is out of place and the concubine is arrogant", and the status of the concubine in ancient times is very low, so it will be related to the status of the concubine, which is also telling the world how despicable the green is.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, green also referred to those who sold their wives and daughters' money in exchange for their own food, so there was also a requirement at that time that all men who sold their wives and daughters in exchange for property or food needed to be forced to wrap a green turban on their heads.
Although this kind of behavior is an insult to men, this method also makes men jealous, so many people dare not easily sell their wives and sell their daughters, after all, men are very face-saving.
Wearing a "green turban" is a punishment
Yan Shigu, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, once said in the "Commentary" of the Book of Han: "Green Man, the clothes of the untouchables." The "green cloth" in this sentence actually refers to green clothes or headscarves.
Before the Tang Dynasty, green only represented the humble and inferior color, after the Song Dynasty, green began to develop to the "green hat", according to records, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, the people's lives were also colorful, and "brothels" began to appear on a large scale.
At its peak, there were hundreds of brothels in the city, and when the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, in order to facilitate the management of brothels, it was explicitly stipulated that the family members of prostitutes should wear green turbans.
This policy gives the meaning of "green hat" shame, because it also means that if the wife of the family betrays her husband, she will wear a "green turban", which can be said to be a naked insult to life.
After that, everyone used the "green hat" to laugh at the man. At this point, "green hat" has also become synonymous with being derailed in eastern culture.
In general, green itself is not biased, but in ancient times it was green that led to hierarchical differences and a culture of shame, so as dynasties changed, people began to hate green.
But thankfully, now is a new era, we have a diversity of aesthetics, green has frequently become the darling of various fashion shows, but also a beautiful man and woman love color.
