From nature’s creations and the rhythm of seasons,
we trace the hues of traditional Chinese colors.
Poetic and picturesque, blooming with timeless elegance—
Each shade embodies ancient wisdom,
observed in mountains, rivers, sun, moon,
flora, fauna, and cultural legacies.
In this feature: traditional colors in neo-Chinese cheongsams.
Let’s explore them together.
(1)As autumn floods subside, cold pools turn crystal clear;
Smoke-like rays congeal, veiling dusk peaks in violet.
(2)A tree dressed in jade towers high,
Thousands of branches cascade like emerald ribbons.
(3)Mermaid silk dyed in nascent blue,
Rippled by wind, it melts into water and clouds.
(4)Luminous and subtle, glowing with grace.
(5)Distant mountains in dark silhouettes, mist-kissed waters near.
(6)Falling petals drift like drunken snow;
The fair maiden blushes with a rosy glow.
(7)Purple rushes bow by the dock; red leaves dye half the river boat.
(8)Dark clouds crush the walls, threatening to break; scales of armor blaze like gold when sunrays strike.
