Chinese will consult to a Feng-Shui experts before they start or develop their business. They will pay the experts with a huge amount of money and noted that as a “open business expense”. The Chinese people will ensure the environment around their business location such as office, restaurant, or even a shop will be arranged and decorate to be conductive and trust with a “Good Chi”, or also known to have a “Yang Qi”.

The combination of the five colours will presenting the meaning of good luck and warding off evils. Chinese used these colours to determine a person, interior design, and used it to bring out the “Good Chi”.

The example that written down are Chinese people will be using most of the colours Red, Yellow, and Orange to represent the happiness to celebrate new year’s and new beginnings, such as celebrating Chinese New Year. 

The Chinese will prevent themselves to wear or use colours Black, Blue, or Dark grey to express they are sad or gloomy to welcome the new year. Other than that, Chinese would wear a colour white or black to a funeral or went for Tomb-Sweeping Day because want to show the feeling of sadness and forgiveness to the one who pass away. In the last research paper, there are noted Chinese people believe that colour can control the “Chi”, also known as the expression of human and the environment around it.
