The Differences of Color Expressions
Between Chinese and Western Cultures
Abstract: Language is the carrier of culture, whereas culture finds a better representation through language use. As we all know, every nation has its own unique language and culture, which is expressed through vocabulary. Vocabulary is a basic factor for language; therefore this paper selects one aspect of vocabulary, that is, color expressions. However, because of various language and culture, historical background, religious belief, mode of thinking, aesthetic temperament and interest, different nations have different color expressions. In this sense, the associative meaning produced by color expressions has nothing in common with each other between Chinese and Westerns. Through the comparison of different color expressions between Chinese and Westerns, this paper aims to explore the concrete manifestations, and then regularly exposes the roots of different color expressions.
