Portrait of Xu Wei
The word "natural color" originated from Liu Xie's Collection of Literary Mind and Carving Dragons, in which "natural color" only refers to natural color. With the evolution of the times, the meaning of true colors is gradually changing from shallow to deep. In Tang Dynasty, natural colors were used to distinguish the costumes of music officials. In the Song Dynasty, the true colors were brought into the field of literary criticism. There was a man named Tang Shunzhi in the Ming Dynasty. He believes that his true colors are written directly on his chest, and flaws can't cover up his true colors. Xu Wei's understanding of True Color was directly influenced by Tang Shunzhi. Apply Xu Wei's true colors to any of his fields.
