– CURIOSITY –
The meaning of colors in Chinese culture has a great impact on the social and daily life of the country. The black color, although it seems surprising, represents water. Formerly the color black was related to paradise and was considered the king of all colors. Currently the color black in Chinese society is the color of mourning, sadness and not very favorable to festive events. Strange how the meaning of a color can change over time.
