The color of spring: welcome
Such as the improvement of rainy solar terms, it is named "Yingying", and its color is taken from Furong Stone Wash in the Forbidden City. Furong stone, also known as "rose in season" and "rose in season", is a rare stone species in Changjiang stone. Its color is pink, clear and moist, and its beauty is fascinating. The hibiscus stone wash in the Forbidden City should be the best hibiscus ice powder crystal. The crystal is super transparent, not only without any impurities, but even the texture can't be seen. Crystal clear as water, pale pink, with extremely delicate oily luster. This faint pink color was searched by two authors of traditional colors in China in the literature related to color between China and Japan, and was carefully examined and approved as "Yingying".
In the past, I only knew that "Yingying" meant graceful, clear and full in ancient Chinese, but I didn't know it was actually a color. The color in the book is "Yingying" and "Its color is like a peach blossom reflecting water, so you can look around". In addition, there are many ancient poems with the word "welcome", such as "Nineteen Ancient Poems Cowherd Star": "Ying Ying is easy to water, and her pulse is silent." Xin Qiji's Jade Case Yuan Xi: "The moths and snow willows are golden, and the laughter is faint." Sun Fu's Mid-Autumn Festival chants "Love Yingying's color, climb a higher platform". And Bauhinia I "Send Gu Qi to the North": "A peach blossom water, Yingying sends a passenger ship". As for the origin of the color name "Yingying", it is not explained. It's just the fusion of ancient paintings, ancient poems, antiques and this antique, giving people a compound aesthetic experience.
Since "Yingying" is regarded as an improvement in rainy season, it shows that this color is related to spring water. In addition, the annotation says that "its color is like peach blossom reflecting water", which is directly connected with peach blossom, implying spring. I think "Yingying" can also be called "Taoying", which is a kind of spring scenery full of girlish feeling.
Chinese traditional colors, each color has a unique name, and each color originates from the creation of the universe. There are "Yingying" in ancient poems, all of which describe beauty, flowing water, eyes and delicate flowers. If you want to color them, it is more accurate to use peach blossom color as a specific image. The cardamom blooms and is tall and graceful. Isn't it just peach blossoms reflecting water? Rain is the second of the 24 solar terms, representing the beginning of a year's rain. When the spring rain is crisp and the willow green is like smoke, the peach blossoms are also smiling on the branches, and the red calyx is full of clouds, like a beauty dressed in water.
Yingying is often used to describe O, O in ancient poetry. For example, Wang Guan's "Farewell Bao Haoran to the East of Zhejiang": "Water is the eye and the mountain is the eyebrow peak. Where are you going? The word "eyebrows and eyes are affectionate" is a metaphor for mountains and rivers and people's eyebrows. Eyes are water, eyebrows are mountains. The Iraqis who traveled far away walked in the farewell eyes, walked farther and farther in the "eyebrow eyes", and their figures became more and more blurred until they disappeared. The poet interweaves spring with farewell, and combines eyebrows with mountains and rivers to write, which is really unique in conception and novel in metaphor. I found that the ancients also liked to write tears with "Yingying", for example, Zhang Xian's "Linjiang Fairy": "Love is far from beauty, but Yingying's tears cannot be collected. "Ouyang Xiu's Walking on the Sand, Waiting for Plum in the Pavilion": "Every inch of tenderness, Ying Ying powder tears". Zhang Xun's "Water dragons sing, swallows are busy, warblers are lazy and fragrant": "Looking at Zhangtai Road, the golden saddle is falling and there are tears. "There are too many, I won't elaborate.
In life, some people just have watery eyes. If a person's tear film is healthy and full of body fluid, there will be a feeling of clear water. People with tear film thickness see spring water in everyone's eyes. Those affectionate eyes, looking at you casually, make people feel unforgettable, and crying again makes people feel distressed. Generally speaking, such eyes should have a healthy tear film, and a smooth tear film reflects light more strongly, making it bright and concentrated. Also, the whole eyes should be big and round, so that more light will enter and more light will be reflected, making a pair of eyes shine, which is very magical. We often call such eyes peach blossom eyes, as the name implies, like peach blossoms. The eyes are big and long, the upper eyelid is curved, and the tail of the eye is very long. Shaped like a peach blossom petal, her eyes are hazy and intoxicating, charming and affectionate, delicate and touching. Any color word is an expression of "image", which is limited to concrete at first and then extended to image. The initial image of greeting is peach blossoms reflecting water, and the extended image is affectionate eyes.
It seems that after reading those ancient poems full of tears, I will read more profound meanings. Yingying's tears are not only full, clear and crystal clear, but also the color of peach blossoms reflecting water. They are the tenderness of spring, rippling wave by wave and infiltrating into people's hearts bit by bit. Yingying's eyes are like water, but they are not ordinary water, but peach blossom spring water in the Book of Songs. This water accumulates in your heart drop by drop, and your heart gradually becomes ethereal, clear, gentle and quiet.
Tonight, I learned a color-"Yingying". Peach blossoms reflect water, which is the color of spring.
