Learning the names of colors is essential in any language, but Mandarin colors give you more than just a tool for descriptions: They also have strong cultural meanings. Cultural Meanings Red is a lucky color, representing prosperity, goodness, and happiness. If cash is given as a present, it is placed in a red envelope. White envelopes are never used because white is associated with death. The opposite of red is black, which represents evil and suffering. Although white is used in funerals, it is not associated with evil, but rather the absence of life, as during winter. Yellow is the color of the soil and represents earthliness and centeredness. It is also a color strongly associated with China, as the Chinese are descendants of the Yellow Emperor. 白色 (bái sè) = white 蓝色 (lán sè) = blue 黄色 (huáng sè) = yellow 绿色 (lǜ sè) = green 红色 (hóng sè) = red 橙色 (chéng sè) = orange 咖啡色 (kāfēi sè) = brown 黑色 (hēi sè) = black 紫色 (zǐ sè) = purple 灰色 (huī sè) = grey # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟ Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ,200 teachers ,more 10000 students,200+companies |
