Green as the basic color of Nature represents life, signifies health, and symbolizes peace. In the sober color of green, people inhale into their innermost the freshness of air and enjoy peace of mind.

Green being a favorite color to the Chinese people has much to do with the unique Chinese belief in the unity of Nature and humanity. The three major idologies in China. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, all emphasize the impprtance of integration of man withthe Heaven and Earth and the pursuit of harmony and unity between humankind and Nature. Green, therefore, is a color deep-rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.

The green mountains and rivers of the natural environment constitute the home of humankind, a home free from all wildly concerns. Green is alsoa perpetual theme to Chinese literature, paintings and other traditional Chinese arts. No matter whether it is a tall tree with a huge canopy or a blade of grass, lushly green banboos or the tender budding leaves of tea shrubs, they all attract human beings to communicate with Nature in soul language and experience the superb state of mind in unity with it.
