The History of Red

Red is the origin of all colors. It is the earliest color that humans master, imitate, and create, and it is also the first color to be distinguished into different hues. In ancient Greece and Rome, red was a symbol of power, wealth and dignity, and was appreciated and praised by people. In ancient China, pure cinnabar was very rare, so vermilion was very precious and was only owned by high-ranking officials. The emperor's instructions and memorials were left with vermilion, and wealthy people painted their doors with vermilion to show their wealth. Today, people's impression of the Forbidden City in Beijing is of those red walls and red doors, and those eyes full of red are vermilion.
