You are walking down the street in the middle of the day and you see someone wearing a green hat. Some people may think it’s fashionable while others don’t care at all. Do you wonder what wearing a green hat means in Chinese culture? Here are four colors and their meanings in Chinese culture.
GreenIn most cultures, green represents (代表) nature and is a calm color. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green.”, it means he doesn’t look well. When you say someone is wearing a green hat, it mans the person’s partner is cheating on him or her.
YellowIn ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear this color. Yellow was also considered as a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from he yellowish soil (土壤) in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it mans someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planed. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”, which means they’ve broken up.
RedRed is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.”
WhiteIn ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death.
