THE COLOR AND ITS SEMANTICS IN THE WEDDING CEREMONY OF THE PEOPLES OF CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

In the culture of all peoples, color and its symbolic meaning were important, and were endowed with both negative and positive semantics. In almost any sphere of human society – social, household, religious-colors carry a certain load. The study of the role of color as a marker of ethnic preferences, the genesis of semantic meanings and ideas about it, their transformation at different stages of the history of a certain ethnic group, constitute an urgent task of modern ethnology.
