The five colors, if unharmonized, confuse the eye; The five tones, - TopicsExpress



          

The five colors, if unharmonized, confuse the eye; The five tones, if uncoordinated, offend the ear; The five tastes, if crudely blended, violate the palate. Unrestrained in hunting and pursuing confounds the mind; Eagerness in the acquisition of rare goods impedes right action. That is why the Taotarian looks within and not without; He disregards that and nurtures this. (I. The five colors: white, black, blue, yellow, red. The five notes - the pentatonic scale do, re, mi, fa, sol. The five tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, piquant, salt.)
