THE COLOR “RED” IN CHINA

 

Of all the colors, “red” attracts the most attention. The people considered the red color auspicious and a color that expresses honor.

 

Time has passed, but the thought of respect for the color red has not changed. No matter where and when (in China), people use red color to express happiness. People see the red color as a symbol of happiness, success, loyalty and justice (see also: the mask in Peking Opera).

 

And especially in China, it is believed that the red color has the effect of keeping bad and evil away from the human body:

Red lamps are hung on New Year's Day, the firecrackers have a red cover, the banners on the door are red.

 

In addition, many are accustomed to wearing red in years when the number "9" occurs, to avoid the evil. Therefore, it can be said that the red color is China's lucky color, bringing people stability, happiness and prosperity
