Why did the ancients worship black the most before the Han Dynasty?

There is such a record in the "Hanshu and Legal Chronicles" compiled by historians of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Now Qin changed into Zhou, when the water was deed. Xiwen Gong went out hunting and won the black dragon.

This is the water of Lourdes. The meaning of this passage is that in the early years, when Qin Wengong went out hunting, he once caught a black dragon. And this is the symbol of water virtue among the five elements.

Hence the state of Qin.

The ruler considers himself a water virtue and admires water. And in the five elements, the corresponding logo color of Shuide is black. Therefore, from the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin Empire, which dominated the world.

They all worship black.

The so-called Five Elements and Five Virtues Doctrine is the Qi State during the Warring States Period.

The yin and yang family Zou Yan.

Scholarly perspectives presented. It mainly refers to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

It represents the five virtues. These five virtues go on and on, and they are used to explain the rise and fall of dynasties.

In costume dramas, when reading the holy decree, it will be said that it is carried by heaven and the emperor is edicted. This "carriage" refers to the fate represented by the five elements and five virtues.

Another reason is that earlier, the Qin State lived in the barbaric dog Rong area. Qin Mugong.

Yuan's father migrated eastward for the sake of "water" and to be able to put his horse on the edge of the Yellow River, and settled in Yongcheng. The worship of water and the thirst for water finally realized a hundred in Qin Mugong's generation.

Qin Mugong had successfully expanded the territory of the Qin State to the edge of the Yellow River, but after gaining and losing, he was seen by the Jin State again.

The people rushed back. I can no longer "drink the Yellow River"! In order to regain the "water", in order to avenge the dead soldiers, Qin Mugong worked hard, and it was a big deal to start all over again!

It's still black! It's still black! After Jin Xianggong put on black clothes, he also put on black clothes.

See who's darker than whom! Of course, they worship the color black, mainly because of their thirst for water. It's also a pain for the loss of water!

Compared with the Qin Dynasty, which admired water virtue and liked black, later scholars believed that the Han Dynasty was a fire virtue.

Therefore, sometimes, Han is also called Yan Han.

So, the popular color of the Han Dynasty was red.

Qin's logistical supply, unlike other vassal states, was supplied by the state. The military flag of the Qin State was unified and was also supplied by the state. The military flag of the State of Qin was black.

Why was black used as the color of the military flag? The first is cultural reasons, the king of water is black. Second, the black military flag is easy to conceal and resistant to dirt.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he made black the national color of the Qin Dynasty.

Because in the eyes of the ancients, black was a symbol of authority, and only those in power were qualified to wear black clothes, so the ancients worshipped "black" the most.

Before the Han Dynasty, the ancients worshipped "black" the most, because in the eyes of the ancients, black had many meanings, and in the eyes of the ancients, black often meant powerful mystery and death, because it would cause people to fear a color.

The Han Dynasty was still hot, so the costumes were mainly red and black. When the Western Han Dynasty was established, it basically followed the uniform system of the Qin Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, black clothes must be worn with purple silk ornaments.

In order to consolidate the position of imperial power, the rulers of the Han Dynasty established a system of strict hierarchy of officials wearing ribbons. The system of the Han Dynasty stipulates that the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the empress are red yellow, the marquis is orange and crimson, the nobles and ministers of the country are green, the princes, marquis, and generals are purple, and the scarves below purple are cyan, black, and yellow.

In the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, the ribbon and its color were important symbols of official rank. The colors of ordinary people's clothing can only be used in compound colors, such as brown, yellow-brown, brown, gray, silver-gray and pink-green. There are specific regulations on the color of the court clothes in the Han Dynasty, and the clothes are worn according to the five seasons throughout the year, that is, cyan is used in spring; red in summer; Yellow in the summer season; white in autumn; Black in winter.
