With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many people like to place one or two jade ornaments at home, especially business people, who like to place jade Guan Gong ornaments in their own rooms, hoping that they can play a role in warding off evil spirits and attracting wealth.

People who play with jade like to call Guan Gong the God of Wealth and War. Have you noticed that in many paintings, the hat Guan Gong wears is mostly green? Why is Guan Gong’s hat green?

In fact, the "Records of the Three Kingdoms", the earliest record of the history of the Three Kingdoms, did not record what color battle robe Guan Yu wore, nor did it say what color hat he wore. But today, the image of Guan Gong with a red face, green robe, and holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The red face and green hat have become the unique symbols of Guan Gong. There are so many colors for his clothes, why did Guan Gong choose green as his hat? There are many folk sayings, and the following ones are the most widely circulated.

Guan Gong's hats are mostly gray-green, which is dirt-resistant and not noticeable, making it convenient for Guan Gong to hide himself on the battlefield. As we all know, wars in ancient times were fought in jungles and grasslands, and green is naturally the best protective color, which is the same as today's camouflage uniforms.

Art

Red and green are complementary colors. In a painting, there must be both red and green, but only one can be the primary color and the other the complementary color. Guan Gong's face is red, and he wears a green robe to complement it. This is to form a distinctive personal feature.

archeology

In ancient times, green hats did not have any special meaning. On the contrary, after Emperor Wu of Han, with the establishment of the Confucian ritual and music system, the culture of color in clothing gradually developed.

The color of clothing became a means of distinguishing between the noble and the humble, and Guan Gong's hat reflected his identity and status.
