Throughout history, our traditional custom has always been that “nothing brings joy without red, and nothing enhances your luck without red.” Whether it’s big or small matters in the home, as long as they are happy events, we all like to decorate them with red.
However, not everyone is suitable for red。 Wearing the wrong color not only goes against taboos but may also reduce one’s good fortune。 Below, there are some people who are unsuitable for wearing red, and others who are very suitable for decorating with red to celebrate joyfully。 Let’s find out who they are!
Homes with White Matters
Since ancient times, China has placed great emphasis on white matters。 As the old saying goes: “Those who pass away are given the utmost respect,” and when a family mourns a loss, the bereaved wear mourning clothes to send off the departed properly。
In emergency times, when a household experiences a white matter, they would observe a three-year period of mourning with many taboos during this time。 Although modern customs are not as strict as before, it is still advisable to avoid wearing red during the mourning period。
Bridesmaids Should Avoid Red
Red is the main color of traditional Chinese weddings, symbolizing joy and good luck。 While the bride wears a red wedding dress, bridesmaids should avoid choosing red attire as it could be seen as competing for attention with the bride, which is both impolite and taboo。
Choosing light purple or light pink tones would be more appropriate, creating a harmonious contrast。
Who Should Wear Red?
Those in Their Birth Year
It is well-known that during one’s birth year (Chinese zodiac year), people often wear red to avoid misfortune。 Does the birth year require wearing red? If your fate favors fire, and you are fond of red, then go ahead and wear it. However, if your dashboard is adverse to fire, or if you simply dislike red, there is no need to force yourself; wearing it might feel uncomfortable。
It’s not just the birth year, but also those experiencing annual misfortunes who should use red to avoid conflicts with their destiny。 The Han Chinese regard red as a symbol of joy, success, loyalty, and justice, believing it has the power to drive away adversity and protect safety。
Therefore, during one’s birth year or when experiencing annual misfortunes, people often prepare red accessories or clothing early on to help themselves avoid obstacles in their yearly path and welcome good fortune。
Families with Joyful Events
Red is the Chinese nation’s favorite color, almost a cultural totem and spiritual anchor。 It carries so many memories of joy for the Chinese people。
Red symbolizes auspiciousness, happiness, excitement, passion, enthusiasm, and determination。 Therefore, when there are joyful events at home, wearing red can bring good luck and blessings to oneself。
