Cheongmyeong wears his green ribbon to tie his hair.
...... in the light novel, the game collab’, in the PV and finally the webtoon!
- In past: He wore it until his death.
- After 100 years: At the beginning of the work, he did not even have the means to tie his hair, being a young beggar. His financial situation, like Mount Hua, would surely prevent him from obtaining one of them.
- Then after two years: He wears a green ribbon. Again.
- And finally 3 years later: the dark green of the Tang family remains by his side.

I recently learned that the color green * often represents healing, happiness, friendship and health in China. Symbol of spring, it recalls growth and rebirth, which translates into a new beginning.
Friendship [...] 😭
Apparently, although green clothing (ribbon too) is welcome, hats are not. Wearing green hat = one’s partner unfaithful.
In dynasty Tang (618 – 907) wearing green headcloth was a penalty for people who has commited crimes. Centuries later, in the Yuan (1271-1368) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasty, some greens were intended for prostitutes and their relatives.
Honorable green:
Light green, crab shell cyan (Xi ke Qing) = for pottery
Green bamboo (Zhu Qing) = loyal, gentleman, elegant, straightforward
Green jasper (Bi Yu Shi) = decency
Green Jade (Yu Se) = virtue, honor
Green Cyan (Qing Se) = wood, hope, forest [like King forest’s clothes: Lim Sobyeong]
Scallion green (Cong lv)= greens, vigorous plants
Spoiler!!!!! 🚧🚨
