In the present study, the question was that if phonology will be activated in access of Chinese character meaning. Three experiments on naming were conducted with the Stroop paradigm, in which participants named the print color of Chinese color words and their homophones. Analyses showed Stroop interference and facilita- tion for homophones of high-frequency color words but a different pattern for homophones of low-frequency color words, in which only interference but no facilitation effects were observed. These results indicate that phonological activation is not obligatory in the visual semantic retrieval of Chinese character. Although pho- nology can be automatically activated and used to activate the character meaning, it only plays a secondary
