Colours of China

In WuXing, Black is considered a strong and powerful color; it represents winter and a time for regeneration when nature rests before the cycle of life begins again.

Wu Xing divides life into five ever-changing phases, each linked to an element, a season, a color.

A few years ago, the fishing village Houtouwanwas was abandoned.

In Wu Xing, White is connected to the element of metal, either silver or gold.

In Wu Xing's theory, the cycle of life moves through five seasons, echoing nature's rhythms of growth, movement and rest.
