2020.05.16 Yesterday I learned something about American expressions based on colors.Red means hot and angry and pink means healthy.Now I want to introduce different colors have different meanings in China. First of all, in USA green means sick feeling but in China it means cheating. Someone whose wife or girlfriend is dating with others may say he has a green hat. White is pure and innocent.In Chinese traditional culture, white often used in funeral.The decoration is white, clothing is white.So in China white means death. Ancient times yellow just lowed emperors use but now it means porn. I don’t know why and from when on yellow become a not that good color. Like we said a woman who has yellow face.it means she is ugly and old.

White is pure and innocent (Consider: "White stands for purity and innocence"). In traditional Chinese traditional culture, white is often used in funerals. The decorations is are white, and the clothing is white. So in China white means death. In ancient times yellow was just lowed used by emperors use, but now it means porn. I don’t know why and from or when on yellow became a not that good bad color,but Like we said when a woman who has yellow face it means she is ugly and old.
