This study explores the cognitive evolution of the traditional Chinese five-color view in different historical dynasties and examines the performance of the five-color view in different dynasties. Secondly, we paid attention to the first appearance of the five-color concept in ancient jewelry, analyzed the role of the five colors in the design and production of ancient jewelry, and the cultural implications they contained. Subsequently, we studied the profound impact of the five-color concept on contemporary jewelry design, and explored how this ancient aesthetic concept is inherited and developed in modern design. Finally, through the summary of the above research, we draw conclusions about the historical evolution and contemporary inheritance of the five-color concept in the field of ancient jewelry, which provides profound insights into understanding the continued influence of Chinese traditional culture in jewelry design. Overall, this study aims to reveal the multi-dimensional influence of the five-color view in different periods and fields, and to provide theoretical support for the inheritance and innovation of Chinese traditional jewelry culture.
