History
[edit]This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (January 2022) |
The origins of Caihua can be traced back to the Zhou dynasty,[3][4] as the Zuo Zhuan and Guliang Zhuan detailed:
“
秋 ,丹 桓宮楹。禮 ,天子 、諸侯 黝堊,大夫 倉 ,士 黈,丹 楹,非禮 也。[5] (the duke painted red the pillars of [duke] Huan's temple. According to rule, King and royalty use dark and white, gentry use white, yeoman use yellow. Red pillars are against etiquette.)
The Rites of Zhou similarly records a ritualistic usage of motifs and colour, based on each respective aspects' corresponding symbolic value.
