What is the origin of purple?

Purple z-shaped sound. From then on, the word is awkward, which is also a sound. "Ben" means "series" "This" means "nearby" and "nearby". "This" and "Kui" together mean "the latest one in the rainbow stripe series". Original meaning: the seventh of the seven colors of the rainbow, counting from the outside to the inside. Extended meaning: the color of the seventh of the seven stripes of the rainbow from the outside to the inside. Description: 1. The seven colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple from outside to inside. We regard "outside" as "far" and "inside" as "near", so the purple stripe is the closest to people among the seven color stripes. Or it can be understood that "outside" means "there" and "inside" means "here", which is the basis for the word "purple" to come from "here". 2. The word "purple" refers to the chromatographic series composed of "seven color stripes", not "silk thread" and "silk". Similarly, the charm contained in the word "red" also refers to the chromatographic series of rainbow. 3. "Purple" means "interior", so ancient palaces can be called both "interior" and "palace".

The origin of the emperor's favorite word "purple"

The Forbidden City in Beijing is called "Forbidden City", the road to the Imperial Capital is called "Mozi", and the imperial edict is called "Purple Patent". Why does the royal family like to use the word "purple"? Tracing back to the source, "purple" originally refers to the stars in the sky. There are three kinds of stars in the sky: Ziweiheng, Taiweiheng and Tianheng. Ziwei Heng is in the middle, Taiwei Heng and Tianshi Heng are on both sides. Ancient people thought that the emperor lived in the Heavenly Palace, which was of course in the center. Therefore, Ziweiheng lived in the center and became the place where the Temple of Heaven should be in the eyes of the ancients. Therefore, Tiangong is also called Wei Zi Palace. The emperor in the world calls himself the "son of heaven", so people call him the purple star emperor, which makes the emperor and "purple" have an indissoluble bond.
