00:30Including the dragon
00:31What do those animals mean?
00:33In Chinese consciousness, including the dragon
00:36Red, green, and creeping
00:38The bird
00:38I replied that it was a nice question.
00:41But I'd rather answer it with a video.
00:43To explain the meaning of each color in detail.
00:45And really a question
00:48important
00:49Professor Muhammad
00:50Let me explain briefly
00:54In a hurry
00:55The meaning of these colors
00:57I mean when we see
00:59Blue Dragon and Green Dragon
01:02Black and white dragon
01:03Red, yellow and different colors
01:06This means
01:07What does it mean and what does it symbolize?
01:10Of course first
01:12Quick entry
01:14Colors and their symbols
01:16It varies from one culture to another.
01:18Minister
01:20Appearance, for example
01:21Its symbols vary from one culture to another.
01:24Even a certain society receives the same animals.
01:28We find that it is received differently from one society to another and from one culture to another.
01:35The following that a certain animal arouses or gives in a society
01:42It may give the opposite effect in another society.
01:45For example
01:46Pig for example
01:48Pig here in China is a very popular animal.
01:52beloved animal
01:53There is even a Sunnah year among the twelve years, meaning the year of the pig.
01:59There is a year, a year of the rabbit, a year of the monkey, a year of the dragon, a year of the tiger, and so on.
02:08Among them is the pig, because of their great love for the pig.
02:13And they consider it a cute animal
02:15Animals, appearance, colors, all of these things have different symbols from one culture to another and from one society to another.
02:26The dragon itself is a symbol of evil in Western culture, but it is a symbol of nobility and courage in Chinese culture.
02:35Today we will talk only about the dragon and the different colors.
02:42When we see the Chinese dragon in different colors, what does it symbolize?
02:45We start with blue and green.
02:48Blue and green are usually used in Chinese.
02:52In classical Chinese, especially layer
02:58We find that in one word
03:00It could symbolize two, meaning the word "protinь" in Chinese.
03:04It can be translated as blue color.
03:08And green color
03:10DVD Classic
03:11Of course in modern language
03:14Every color has a word
03:17I mean the blue color will not
03:20Green color for me
03:21But in classical language the word fig can refer to both.
03:26Therefore, the green and blue colors
03:28They symbolize one thing in Chinese.
03:33Monday symbolizes peace
03:35For calm
03:37For success
03:39For Prosperity
03:40For nature
03:42in general
03:43They symbolize spring
03:45Every color I'm saying is coming
03:47They symbolize two different stories.
03:50First, for the different nature of each season of the four seasons.
03:54They symbolize one of the four directions.
03:57Blue and green symbolize spring.
04:00With all the joy and happiness of spring
04:04Calm and harmony
04:07Peace
04:09They also symbolize the east.
04:12East
04:14In Chinese culture
04:19Directions start from the east
04:22Not from the north
04:23I mean in Western culture
04:25In our culture
04:26Us too
04:26Directions: Starting from the north
04:28But in Chinese culture
04:30Directions start from the east.
04:33The blue and green colors begin to point to the east or symbolize the east.
04:41They symbolize spring
04:43Spring
04:44With all the symbols, beauty and joy of spring, it is...
04:48Now let's move on to the other two colors.
04:51black and white
04:53The first thing we imagine about black and white is the yin and yang.
04:58Yin and Yang symbol
04:59Which is a circle with the letter S in it, half black and half white
05:04On the black side there is a bright spot.
05:06The white side has a black dot.
05:08Yin and Yang
05:09Yen is a symbol of femininity
05:13gentle kindness
05:15Yang symbol
05:17Yang Di means moon
05:19Yang means sun
05:20It is a symbol of strength, power and violence.
05:23etc.
05:24We find that the black color symbolizes the north.
05:29We started in the East, what is the result?
05:31counterclockwise north
05:34It symbolizes the north and winter.
05:37It is a color that is characterized by strength.
05:42It symbolizes strength and revenge.
05:44revenge
05:45The power of revenge and power in general
05:49white
05:50After we finished the north
05:53East North comes to West
05:55The color white symbolizes the West.
05:58And this is of course the fourth color
05:59Stay here, we will find a very nice group
06:02The West is my aunt
06:05In our culture
06:06This white color is
06:07Purity and clarity
06:11Even doctors wear white.
06:14For angels of mercy and so on
06:16In Chinese culture, the color white symbolizes death.
06:22Death and Mourning
06:23That's why when someone dies, they wear white.
06:28This is their mourning color.
06:30It symbolizes the West.
06:33It symbolizes autumn.
06:34I mean, even look at the symbol itself.
06:37The symbol is autumn.
06:38It means the end of your life
06:41It means someone is nearing the end of his life.
06:45This is the white color
06:48We come after the west
06:51The circle turns to the south
06:54The south remains the red color
06:56The color red also reflects Western culture.
07:00And our culture too
07:02The color red usually symbolizes bloodiness.
07:05symbolizes violence
07:06It even has a verse by Ahmed Shawqi
07:10The Prince of Poets says about it:
07:12And freedom has a red door that every hand with a closed hand can close.
07:17Red Freedom
07:20See red freedom hand listed
07:22Violence and bloodiness
07:24The red color symbolizes bloodiness.
07:26There is even a novel called
07:30Scarlett Johansson
07:31red letter
07:33It also had violence and bloodshed.
07:37I want to go into the details of the story in general.
07:40But in Western culture
07:44Western culture red color
07:46symbolizes violence
07:47In China, it is the exact opposite.
07:49In Western culture
07:51red color
07:52Symbolizes joy and happiness
07:54Happiness and good luck
07:57And companionship and everything beautiful you can imagine
08:00Goodness, prosperity, success and good fortune
08:04Everything is beautiful you can imagine
08:06Therefore
08:06It is always used in happy and joyful occasions.
08:11In marriage, for example
08:13The bride wears a dress
08:16In red
08:18In celebration
08:20Chinese New Year
08:22for example
08:22Distribute to each other
08:25They exchange
08:26Some money as gifts
08:28The money is placed in a small envelope.
08:32Like this
08:32We say it here, it doesn't matter
08:34All these envelopes must be red.
08:38It means a symbol of joy and happiness
08:41Good luck
08:42And the celebrations themselves, all the decorations.
08:45You will find it in red
08:46It has golden symbols on it.
08:49The red color is a symbol
08:51Joy and happiness
08:53And everything is beautiful
08:55We will have children later
08:57And it symbolizes summer
08:58The red color symbolizes affection.
09:01Feelings and passion
09:03and fire
09:04It symbolizes summer.
09:06So we started in the east
09:07blue and green
09:10It symbolizes the east direction.
09:12And spring
09:13Black represents the north.
09:16And winter
09:17White symbolizes summer and autumn.
09:20The red color symbolizes the south and summer.
09:26Now let's talk about the last remaining color.
09:29golden color
09:30This is their uncle
09:32This is their president
09:34golden yellow color
09:35This golden color
09:37Emperor's color
09:39A color reserved for the emperor
09:41and the royal family
09:42Emperor's family
09:43golden yellow
09:46So, linguistically, the word for emperor in Chinese is called “Juan Di.”
09:54It means emperor
09:57The word yellow means black
10:03Yes, two different words. I mean, when they write this, it's a symbol and that's a symbol.
10:08Two different symbols in her books
10:09But in the note, the same note, exactly the same tone, meaning that both take a different tone.
10:16The second tone
10:18Juan
10:19This second tone is the same note as the emperor's, which is the same note as the word yellow in Chinese.
10:28Therefore, it is the color of royalty and even in the present era it still symbolizes warmth in Chinese culture.
10:39Solidity and royalty are always reserved for the elite.
10:49And when there are, for example, Chinese New Year celebrations, there is a dragon dance.
10:58As you know, a gift always begins with a golden dragon appearing carried by several men.
11:06He carries it like this on top of his golden ears. This symbolizes the emperor, meaning he is the one opening the dance.
11:12After that, the red dragon and the other colors begin, as I explained the meanings of these colors.
11:20Each dragon is of a different color and symbolizes something different.
11:26The question of whether it is a bird or a reptile does not make much of a difference. It depends on what the color of this dragon symbolizes.
11:35It means that if someone watches the same dance, we will know what the color symbolizes.
11:46When someone gives us a gift, we will know what the color symbolizes. The same story applies to the appearance as well.
11:51The appearance of its symbols in Western culture is different from its symbols in Chinese culture.
11:58Depending on the occasion for which you are purchasing the display, for example, you will present it to someone at an event with us.
12:04You have to ask the Floris, the person who sells in the shop, the owner of the shop, and tell him the occasion for which you will be appearing. It is such and such an occasion.
12:12In order to choose the appropriate back for you, the appropriate type of back and the appropriate color, because the back and color themselves send messages
12:22These messages and symbols in Western culture also differ from Chinese culture, but that is another topic.
12:28It is a beautiful question from Professor Muhammad, so I thank him for it. I wanted to record this episode and explain the question in some detail.
12:38I hope you enjoyed it and may God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
12:42Think of your duty as you think of your right, and work for perfection, not for fame and reward.
13:10Do not expect more from people than they have the right to expect from you.
