Traditional Chinese physics taught that the five elements are water, fire, wood, metal and earth, in that order. They correspond to black, red, blue-green, white and yellow.
Ancient Chinese people understood that color feeds the spirit and expresses the depth of human experience.
White represented gold and symbolized brightness, purity, and fulfillment. White also is the color of mourning.
The Chinese people, both ancient and modern, cherish the color red. Red symbolizes good fortune and joy. Unfortunately, since the Communist takeover of China, red has been used by the Chinese Communist Party to represent danger, blood, violence and radical actions.
Blue-green indicates spring when everything overflows with vigor and vitality.
Yellow symbolizes the earth. The old saying, "Yellow generates Yin and Yang," meant that yellow is the center of everything. Yellow was the symbolic color of the five legendary emperors of ancient China. Placed above brown, yellow also signifies neutrality and is considered the most beautiful color. Yellow also represents freedom from worldly cares and is thus esteemed in Buddhism. Monks' garments are yellow as well as Buddhist temples.
