What is the moon color
Li Li
"Moonlight" – When I first heard the name of this color, I thought it was silvery white. A painting unfolded before my eyes was a summer night shrouded in moonlight: the forest was thicket, silent, the towering trees stretched out into the night, the night incense emitted a charming fragrance, the grass insects were whispering, there were frogs chirping by the pool, and a girl in a white dress was walking back and forth in the forest path. The mirror-like pond was filled with white water lilies, and the milky moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and through the gaps in the trees, it was scattered on the girl's body, making her look particularly bright and bright. I think this kind of silver glow color of the moonlight is the "moon color", right?
As a result, I checked the traditional Chinese color and found that it was wrong. The color of the moon is not as its name suggests. It sounds like the silvery white of the moonlight, but it actually refers to the night around the moon, a deep blue, similar to the feeling of the moonlit night sky. Imagine that the moon is big and bright at night, like a night lamp hanging in the sky, bringing light to the dark night. When the moon rises slowly, the Milky Way recedes, the stars fall, and the night sky is as clean and immaculate as if it had been washed in water, like a blue canvas slowly unfolding. Such a deep and quiet blue can be called cyan, which is the so-called "blue out of blue is better than blue". It is no wonder that the color "Kyauk moon color" is applied to the clothing of Zhengdan in opera, so Zhengdan is also called Qingyi. Miss Qianjin of Xiangfu in "Three High-Fives", Zhu Yingtai, who restored women's clothing in "The History of Liang Zhu's Lamentation", and Miss Qianjin of the Official Palace, wore opera costumes such as "Elegant Embroidered Moonlight Camellia Loose Branches female folds", which are mainly based on elegant dark blue background colors and scattered branch patterns.
When the moon is empty, what is the main color of the painting in the hearts of the ancients? It was a deep blue, the kind of vast blue that held the whole starry sky, blue so fine that it was dusty, and blue that was cold, clean and distant. The ancients called this blue the moon color, and the ancients gave this blue to the most beautiful woman on the opera stage - Zhengdan, and on the folds of the woman in green clothes, on this blue canvas, let the branches of the flower tree fill the night sky, let the delicate flowers, bright and elegant, bloom in the second.
The ancient Chinese not only turned their aesthetic gaze to the landscape during the day, but also turned to the deep blue sky at night and to the spotless moon. They not only appreciate the feelings and atmosphere of the moon night, but also appreciate the soul of the moon and their own noble feelings in the chanting and pitching. I think of the two green-clad people on the opera stage wearing moon-colored pleats: Wang Baojun and Zhu Yingtai. Wang Baojun's father Wang Yun, as the prime minister, in order to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, built a color building at the intersection and recruited relatives with a color ball, Hualang Xue Pinggui was lucky to get the color ball, but Wang Yun felt poor and loved the rich, and did not admit it, Wang Baojun was not Xue and did not marry, after the father and daughter quarreled, Wang Baojun and his father clapped three times and vowed never to enter the gate of the Xiang Mansion. Zhu Yingtai returned home from study in Hangzhou, restored women's clothing, met with Liangshan Boloutai, and wore female pleats when crying goodbye, she was urged by Zhu Father, hurriedly returned to her hometown, and was forced to give mating to Ma Wencai, the son of Taishou, and finally became a bubble. These two green clothes wearing bright moon-colored folds are clearly Chang'e, who are blue seas and blue skies and night hearts, and they despise vulgarity, yearn for purity and fall into a state of physical and mental loneliness, which is so similar. In the blue sky, the moon looks exceptionally bright; under the background of a bright moon, they are fighting, like the moon of the jade wheel ice plate, radiating a quiet and pure white light.
At this point, I seem to have truly understood the moonlight, which is such a beautiful syllable in the moonlight sonata of Chinese culture.
