Abstract

This study was to explore the philosophical background about black beauty. Confucianism, Taoism and Zen provide a rationale for the black beauty, former painters have been kept hold of the divine spirit of those black beauty. Eastern perceived meaning of color is philosophical rather than scientific. The symbolic meaning of the colors that Asians think is closely related to the cosmic order. A color based on the five virtues, Yin-Yang and the five elements is the five colors which are blue and red and yellow and white and black. The five colors are a representation of the five elements, and there is a corresponding relationship between the five colors and the five elements. Water is black, fire is red, wood is blue, metal is white, earth is yellow. The five colors are a symbol of the natural world and human society. These five elements, Obang and five virtues have relevance to the five colors each other. Black is a world of ‘nothing’ that is not colored. This reinforces the notion that the power of the intangible regards a black color as beauty for the person who in charges of paintings and calligraphic works. Under the influence of modern and Contemporary commodity economy and civil hobbies, colored paintings forms the mainstay of painters. In the case of the calligraphy, use of black has never changed so far. Black beauty stays relevant as ‘Mysterious’ and ‘keep quiet’ of "Lao-tzu", stands for ‘isolated phase’, ‘Xujing’, ‘invisible’, ‘far’, ‘empty’ and ‘infinite’. If the whole, black beauty starting with black but philosophical propositions such as ‘mysterious’, ‘empty’, ‘quiet’ and ‘nothing’, put into art under the historical traditions of the East and the painters are represented as inevitable pure beauty there.
