The Chinese understanding of color

The Chinese understanding of color differs from ours in some aspects. Around 3000 BC, the Chinese assigned certain colors to the seasons, wind directions, recurring periods of the day and people’s internal organs. Even today, colors still have their emotional and physical properties for the Chinese.
