In Tibet, white is the most common color, and it is also the color that Tibetan people like to worship. The white here symbolizes purity, innocence, loyalty, peace, good deeds and justice. People associate white with the gods who helped Tibetans in ancient mythology. White plays a special role in the life and ceremonies of Tibetan people. It is widely used and appears frequently, which can't be reached by any color. We will see white in Potala Palace or other palaces and temples, and we will see white tents set up in Tibet. The doors of some houses are mostly white auspicious patterns. What I am most familiar with is that Hada, which people respect each other, is also white when welcoming. It is conceivable that white has added sacred significance to the life of Tibetans.
When it comes to blue, it is also unique in the minds of Tibetans. Because blue represents blue sky and purity, they will give it more positive feelings. If we look closely, we will find that there are many blue lines on the bricks where Tibetans live, and they will also use them on their own clothes, especially the blue collar and cuffs of Tibetan clothes worn by rural men have become an eternal tone. In addition, all kinds of auspicious patterns on Tibetan door curtains, tents used in rural areas and towns are basically pasted or sewn with blue cloth to show auspiciousness and prosperity. They think that only blue can express their admiration for nature and yearning for the sky.
When people mention the red color in Tibet, they naturally think of the red cassock. It is so striking that the viewer can't help but form a strong sense of distance between himself and the secular. Earlier, people used red as a monk's cassock, which originated in India, the birthplace of Buddhism more than 2,500 years ago. Believers use red (also known as red and yellow) as the cheapest and most inconspicuous color of all colors as the costume color of monks, to show detachment, not seeking appearance, but seeking spiritual perfection, and to show that they are not disturbed by the outside world and dedicated to Buddhism with this color costume that laymen think is the most inappropriate.
Later, with the different regions, people's horizons changed constantly, and red was gradually pushed to the noblest position, so red was exclusive to monks, monks and temples. Today, people still regard red as the habitual color used in Tibetan palaces, temples and low walls. It can be said that red is a historic color.
Yellow is the most special color in the eyes of Tibetans. It can present a fixed identity and has typical symbolic significance. In addition, yellow is also a highly respected color in Tibet and is widely used in religious places such as temples. In Tibetan opera, the characters with yellow masks represent monks and virtues and so on. Typical yellow is the most special color in the eyes of Tibetans, so ordinary monks generally don't wear yellow clothes.
Green has the characteristics of a common people's face, which is closer to the public and life. Tibetan shepherds often see green headscarves, turquoise decorations, green shirts, green robes and green country codes. I think green can better represent the love of Tibetan compatriots for nature and the land under their feet. Every one of them is full of energy.
Finally, it needs to be added that the meanings given to different colors by the Tibetan people are not static, and the meanings of many colors will change with different forms. We can also see many colors. Bian Xiao just found some more distinctive colors and told you. If a friend is interested in other colors, you can also check them yourself.
Different colors form a colorful world. No matter which nation uses colors carefully, we should respect each nation's unique customs and habits, and we should be good at discovering colors, using colors and feeling everything with our hearts.
