Don’t wear black, white, or grey clothes
If you’re hiking or spending the day outdoors, our aunties recommend against wearing clothes that are black, white, or grey. Next to the practical reason of being easier to spot in case you get lost—and the fact that hiking in dark clothes exponentially increases your body’s temperate when the sun is beating down on you—these plain colours are also similar to the colours worn at funerals. In Chinese culture, people are acutely aware of the yin and yang energy balance.
While there are multiple ways to interpret it, in this case, the yin is the spiritual energy of those belonging to the world beyond us, whereas yang is the energy of those living now our world. If you’re wearing clothes with the colours of funeral wear, it will increase your yin energy and attract misfortune. In order to counter that, throw in some neon colours, some pink, and some green to really amp up your yang energy!
