種菜吃-分級緞帶 Level Of Gardener

地球上的生物都有其生命，而談到生命都有周期的。一個新生命的發芽到中止，都是一個美妙的故事，一段優美的旋律，一塊土地上特殊獨一無二的存在。這循環每一刻都不斷地在發生著，只要我們願意停下腳步專注聆聽，自會聽到它所譜出的生命交響樂。

人生學習總有分級，而種植技巧應該也有。

所以就.......初生之犢，自然都是從小白開始。

白帶 White Belt

白 帶：白帶代表純洁，練習者沒有任何種植知識和基礎，一切從零開始。

"Pure and without the knowledge of planting or gardening. As with the Pine Tree, the seed must now be planted and nourished to develop strong roots."
The student has no knowledge of plants and begins with a clean (pure) slate.
Purity is often signified by the color white.

黃 帶  Yellow Belt

黃 帶：黃帶是大地的顏色，就象植物從幼苗成長茁壯一樣，在此階段要打好基礎，並學習大地厚德載物的精神。著重在對植物生長的照顧本身上。

"The seed is beginning to see the sunlight."
The student begins to understand the basics of Taekwondo.
The sun appears to be yellow.

藍 帶 Blue Belt

藍帶是天空的顏色，隨著不斷的訓練，練習者的技術逐漸成熟，就象大樹一樣向著天空生長，對種植已經完全入門。開始從種子練習孵育，展開全新的生命照顧。

"The tree reaches for the sky toward new heights."
Having passed the mid-way point, the student focuses his/her energy upward toward black belt.
The sky appears as blue.

紅帶 Red Belt

紅 帶：紅色是危險、警戒的顏色，練習者已經具備相當的能力，但是卻不見得熟悉植物本身的屬性和需求，過於專注在自己，因此要注意自我修養和對植物生命繁殖的了解。對應不同的植物雌雄特徵與繁殖的授粉技巧須有所掌握，方能取得結果/收成之樂。

"The sun is setting. The first phase of growth has been accomplished."
The first day (the period of time from white belt to red belt) of growth is coming to an end. The physical skill has been developed but lacks control and respect to the plants; therefore, borden knowledge of pants and personal physical / mental discipline must now be achieved.
Variations of red are found among the many colors of the sunset.

黑帶 Black Belt 

黑帶是高手的象征，是實力的体現，更是一种榮譽和責任。 不能只停留在對生命的結束，尚須對於新生命的孕育有所貢獻。此階段的人更能對於生命的循環有所體會，可以生生不息的與萬物循環融合一起。

"The tree has reached maturity and has overcome the darkness... it must now 'plant seeds for the future.'"

The color black is created when all the colors of the light spectrum have been absorbed into an object. That object has "taken control" of the colors and retained them. If one color was to "escape", the object would no longer be black but would appear as that color. The student has mastered the nine geup (grades) of Taekwondo. He/she has "absorbed" all the knowledge of the color ranks and overcome or "mastered" that level or training.
