I like all of it. Maybe not the sunglasses at night, but the cozy coat and the boots.

Not necessarily. It can be both.
"In Chinese culture, colors hold profound symbolic meanings that influence traditions, rituals, art, and daily life. Among them, white is one of the most complex and deeply rooted colors, associated not only with purity and new beginnings but also with mourning, funerals, and ancestral respect. This duality makes white an intriguing subject in the study of Chinese symbolism.
White as Purity and Simplicity
Beyond mourning, white embodies purity, honesty, and simplicity. It symbolizes a fresh start, untainted by worldly distractions. White has often been used in literature and poetry to describe snow, jade, or lotus flowers, each representing inner purity and resilience.
In Taoist philosophy, white can be seen as an expression of wuwei (non-action or effortless action), symbolizing simplicity and alignment with the natural flow of life.
Modern Interpretations of White
In modern China, the symbolism of white has broadened. While its association with mourning remains strong, younger generations also embrace white for its clean, minimalistic look in fashion and interior design. White jade jewelry, white ceramics, and white flowers are often appreciated for their elegance and contemporary style.
White is also gaining popularity in spiritual practices, as it is linked with clarity, enlightenment, and meditation. In feng shui, white corresponds to the metal element, bringing precision, efficiency, and focus to a space."

No, you wouldn’t wear white clothing to celebrate the lunar new year if you’re Chinese. You’d wear red.
