Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.
This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.
For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.
At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.
If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.
Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.
The short answer is wire color to color. black to black, white to white, green or bare to green of bare.

Each color means a different thing and there are green ones, they are just not as common There should be a bare wire along with the red, black and green wires in the ceiling. It is possible that it was cut off short or tied up to the box somewhere. this is the same as the green wire.
The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.

Normal Red, Black and an open wire. Red = live Black = Neutral Open = Ground Its very easy to connect. Connect the red and black wire to any of the colored wires in the fan red, blue, white, orange it depends on the fan make. (except green and yellow) and the open one to he green and yellow as this is the ground.

Black and white black and white black and white and green is a ragga son.
The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.
If you connect the ground wire to the hot wire it will trip the breaker. If you get the white and black wires reversed it will still work but does not meet code.
Assuming the ceiling fan also has lights then that is what the second lead is for. You can tie the black & blue together and attach them to black lead in the lighting box. The light and fan will come on together when you flip the light switch and you have to use the pull chain on it for control. ALWAYS connect the green ground wire to the house wiring ground. This is a SERIOUS safety and fire hazard issue if you do not.
The wiring is the same. White with white and black of house wiring to black or to both the black and blue of the ceiling fan. The problem is you need the ceiling fan bracket to be very secure to the ceiling. Usually you would screw right into the joist. Be careful with the pipe. If it is not capped it's probably just a fixture nipple. If it is capped it could be an old gas line that was used for a gas light.
The wires should try to connect to the correct colors of the wires that are attached to the wall. I would also read the user manual to find out where everything is attached.
