Literary analysis:
In literary contexts that focus on aesthetics, “Ming” is often appropriated as a descriptor for distinctive hues reminiscent of traditional Chinese art. For example, several authors refer to “Ming yellow” to evoke a luminous, warm tone similar to that found in iconic porcelain glaze—a color that carries both cultural and historical resonance [1][2][3]. Similarly, “Ming red” is employed to suggest a deep, ruby brilliance that enhances the depiction of refined artistic craftsmanship [4]. This use of color terminology highlights the enduring influence of Ming-era aesthetics in literature, where such descriptors not only recall a celebrated period but also subtly convey a mood of elegance and cultural depth.
