Chinese Lesson: Cultural Meanings of Colors
 
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
