China has come a long way since Xu Haifeng won the nation’s first ever gold medal in the 1984 Olympics’ ’50m pistol’ shooting event. And now everyone is looking forward to the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing. The olympic medal colors, however, have a much longer history in China. Read on to find out to say these colors and find out about their significance through China’s history. Gold in Chinese – 金色 jīn sè Gold is traditionally the color of prosperity and fortune in China. You will often see it paired with red for special occasions and gifts. Yellow or Gold is traditionally considered the most beautiful in Chinese culture. Gold also represents freedom from worldly cares which is why it is also often used in Buddhist temples. Gold represents the color of a winning Olympian! Silver in Chinese – 银色 yín sè Silver is generally considered to be part of the ‘white’ family of colours. It symbolises the idea of purity and wealth. In Chinese the word for this color is literally 银 “silver” 色 “color”. Silver represents a 2nd placed finish for an Olympian. Bronze in Chinese – 古铜色 gǔ tóng sè As in English, the word for Bronze color refers directly to the metal that inspired the name. In Chinese the word for Bronze is 古 “ancient” 铜 “metal” 色 “color”. In museums across China, you can find many ancient Chinese tools, pots and other artefacts made out of the metal. Bronze represents the 3rd placed finish for an Olympian. #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  |
