baihe shifu Posted December 19, 2011 at 11:19 PM Report Posted December 19, 2011 at 11:19 PM Hi, Can anyone tell me the value and or significance/meaning of the colour "Blue" in Chinese culture, ranking etc? I am very interested in this form a cultural and Martial Arts level and would appreciate any and all information and discussion. Quote
linese Posted April 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM Report Posted April 18, 2012 at 10:27 PM Are you thinking about 青，取之于蓝而青于蓝? 青＝jadish green-blue (not sure if there's an equivalent in English), is derived from blue, but higher than blue. So maybe that's why blue is above green in martial arts, but it depends on what martial art you are practicing. Quote
