No more gossip. Seeing that a certain printing factory has released a new color card, it is still the usual sales model of yuan commodity price + high shipping cost. Some friends feel that since they think the intrinsic value of the color card is much higher than the total price paid, the money is well spent. . It's for introduction.
We will not discuss whether it is worth the money spent here, but only discuss the intrinsic value of the factory's new product, the Chinese color card.
Let’s clarify a few concepts first.
Is traditional culture the same as ancient culture?
Traditional culture refers to the culture that has accumulated over a certain period of time and is present today or at a certain point in time. The process of inheritance cannot be ignored
Ancient culture, in fact, ancient times is a big concept. Culture will change with time and region. Change comes with change, this is what the world is changing and the wind is changing. Therefore, when discussing a certain ancient culture, it is first important to clarify the specific era and region.
So, conceptually speaking, traditional culture is not the same as ancient culture.
If there was a time in history when the country absorbed many cultures one after another, and a long time has passed since then to the present day, can it be said that the country's traditional culture is the country's traditional culture?
With the preparation of the previous question, it will be much easier to answer this question.
The traditional culture of both countries has changed and been passed down to this day under their own special conditions over a long period of time. Although the result of inheritance is that the two sides have similar things or things from the same source, But it still cannot be said that the traditional culture of different countries is the same.
To explain it in the most popular way, your ancestors and I are close relatives, but you and I are not the same person.
(One more thing to say here is that many cute design enthusiasts quite agree with the theory of ancient China in Japan due to their own knowledge structure and learning methods. However, just like the simple question and answer above, this proposition itself is false. Proposition. Ancient Japan is not equal to ancient China. Moreover, such a large and empty concept as ancient times is not suitable for discussing specific issues. Japanese tradition is not equal to Chinese tradition. This is not inferiority or arrogance, but an objective fact.)
Therefore, Most of the colors copied from traditional Japanese colors are not real Chinese color cards. This Chinese color card not only spreads wrong knowledge, but also does not seem to have been compiled and arranged through long-term efforts as they claim, but is copied from the Japanese website. Evidence for this will be given below.
There are many ways to define a color (different color gamuts). We use it to represent it on the monitor (you can also convert it into base when using it on the web), and we use it when printing. The same color has different representation methods in different color gamuts. For example, white is expressed as,,, base,,,. In the same color gamut, the same color value represents the same color.
Take a whole page from a certain printing factory’s Chinese color card for comparison
Some of the Japanese and Chinese traditional colors do have the same names, but some can be seen as native to Japan at a glance, such as< br/>Higo coal bamboo Higo, an ancient place name in Japan, sometimes used in people's names
Rikyu tea, Japan's Muromachi Momoyama period famous tea maker Sen Rikyu
Road test tea, the common name of the second generation kabuki actor Mesegawa Kikunochori in Japan's Edo period Road test
Yuzhao Yunato Tokugawa Iesaichi, the acting general of Japan's Edo period, loved to use it
Shimbashi Tokyo place name ((The funny thing is that the color of Shimbashi was originally the turquoise green that was popular in the Taisho era. I don't know why I couldn't move it correctly)
For textual research on color names, please refer to Japanese の色 (伝同色和色)
(What’s more, there are these inexplicable color names, and the number of pages is not so full.)
Although there are no I will make a more in-depth comparison, but it is not difficult to see from the above evidence that this set of color cards is not as carefully crafted as advertised, nor is it traditional Chinese.
There are many beautiful traditional Japanese colors, and they are well organized. There are special books and websites, the origin of color naming is clear, and there are relatively fixed numerical color values, which greatly facilitates enthusiasts in both research, use and dissemination. There are also many beautiful traditional Chinese colors, and there should be professionals there Organizing, but currently seen on the domestic Internet, most of the Chinese colors being spread are traditional Japanese colors spread by the above-mentioned people with wrong concepts, which is really a pity. Here I borrow the recommendation of an owner.
Looking forward to more It would be great if people join in the research because they are interested in traditional Chinese colors. It would be great if the real traditional Chinese colors have such detailed entries and clear sources.
In the end, if you don’t even know the meaning of the name, why bother? Do you want to steal from others to satisfy your own vanity?
