"Colors of brocade are pure, moonlit painting makes flowers bright" - Luo Binwang of the Tang Dynasty
Surprised? Luo Binwang, who wrote "Geese, geese, geese", actually wrote something like "colors of brocade"!
"Colors of Brocade" is a coloring app with a traditional Chinese style. Before this, we developed a series of apps about traditional Chinese culture, such as "Tenon and Mortise", "Folding Fan", and "Youqi". This time, we want people not only to "look", but also to "use"! Specifically, it's about doodling! Drawing! We provide you with the "picture", and you can freely "make the moonlit painting make flowers bright"! (Here's an aside. In ancient China, "painting" was generally called "writing". In Chinese culture, painting and calligraphy share the same origin. Our Chinese characters evolved from ancient pictographs, which originated from ancient images. So it's easier to understand why "painting" is called "writing".)
Our great, proud, and long-standing brilliant Chinese civilization is almost an amazing visual feast. From the folk to the court, from the countryside to the temple, from daily use to celebrations... Our culture contains too many rich paintings and patterns. These patterns come from the Chinese nation's perception and love of nature, from daily life and labor, from what we see with our eyes and feel with our hearts! Craftsmen turned these into silent pictures, transcending time and silently conveying our Chinese nation's love for the ever-renewing nature and simple life! We think we can present these in a lively way and let everyone get close to and feel them in the digital world. This is also one of the original intentions of designing and making "Colors of Brocade". The beauty in our culture can be seen, felt, and experienced by more people with the help of digital technology! (Serious face.jpg)
First of all, in this first version, let's paint and draw the "New Year paintings" from the folk together!
We have selected various themes from Chinese folk New Year paintings for everyone to have a taste! You can draw a door god or a goddess, and save the drawn works to your own gallery. You can enjoy it yourself, share it, or use it to pay New Year greetings. The most important use of New Year paintings is for our New Year. You need to practice more and get prepared! After all, after summer, the New Year is not far away!
In subsequent updated versions, there will be the dancing celestial beings in Dunhuang murals, the animal face and bird patterns on bronze vessels, the facial makeup and costumes in Beijing opera, the colorful paintings on carved beams, the blue and white连理flowers on porcelain, the national beauty and heavenly fragrance on embroidery... Even doodling the handsome characters in the Lantingji Xu is possible!

Of course, we don't want to make "Colors of Brocade" into a serious creative tool. It's not difficult to use. If you're a novice, just click a few times on the magical "printmaking tool" to quickly get fresh works with the texture of folk woodblock New Year paintings, relieving boredom and releasing stress! If you're a seasoned painter, you can select brushes and colors by tapping on the screen with your finger. Long-press the brush and tools to make fine adjustments.
