Why do Chinese people particularly like red? What are the historical sources?

If the miracle is colored, it must be Chinese Red! It can be said that no country in the world is more suited to the color of red than China. The modern history of China is a red history that bears too many red memories of the Chinese people; more importantly, China Red is the Chinese flag. The colors are countless martyrs dyed with blood!
The Chinese people's love of China Red is an obvious fact. However, why do Chinese people love red so much? When you study history carefully, it is not difficult to find the source.
When the tribe and the tribe are allied, the essential ceremonies are "blood for blood." In the eyes of primitive witchcraft, the parties are linked together through blood sharing, and the mystical nature of blood makes it an important medium for swearing. The color of the blood begins to become a symbol of the oath.
In addition, the red blood symbolizes life, which is also a common concept of the ancients. In Lu Xun's "Medicine," Hua Laoxiu and his wife bought blood for their sons to meddle their heads to cure their illnesses. This is actually a kind of superstition circulating among the people at the bottom of society. The foolish people believe that the fresh blood full of life can be used to cure diseases.
The above text actually reflects the fact that from the era of monarchy to modern times, the lack of people with enough knowledge about the blood and the taboos among them have, to some extent, promoted red as the color of people's preferences. In other words, Chinese people like red and are influenced by mysticism that has been handed down since ancient times.
In addition, some scholars also believe that Chinese people like red and are associated with the worship of the sun and fire that have been handed down since ancient times.
In the consciousness of the ancients, the sickness was often caused by ghosts, and the red can overcome illness and overcome the disease. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that in the ancient medical practice, there are often examples of red outbreak disease.
According to historical records such as Later Han, Historical Records, etc., the Han Dynasty had more red auspiciousness, and auspiciousness was seen as a manifestation of God's will. Therefore, red represents the authority of the “Heaven”; together with many legends of the Han Dynasty, Red is concerned. Under the ruler’s propaganda, red also has the symbolic significance of mysterious authority.
Red hat of Emperor
Since the Ming Dynasty, because the royal family was a surname Zhu, national politics and culture advocated the use of red. The red culture gradually penetrated into all aspects of China and gradually developed into a national representative. Together with the "red memory" mentioned at the beginning of this article, it also created a fact - China Red, everywhere, all the time!
