"In ancient China, purple was obtained not through the Mediterranean mollusc, but purple gromwell. The dye obtained did not easily adhere to fabrics, making purple fabrics expensive. Purple became a fashionable color in the state of Qi (齊, 1046 BC–221 BC) because its ruler, Qin Shi Huang, developed a preference for it. As a result, the price of purple fabric was over five times that of plain fabric. His minister, Guan Zhong (管仲), eventually convinced him to relinquish this preference." This doesn't have any sources and it's also claiming that Qin Shi Huang, who lived in the 3rd century BCE got advised by someone who lived in the 7th century BCE. It also confuses the state of Qi with the state of Qin. Pinkvenom748 (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
