花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，

尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。

同样，

weddings these days. The bride wears a white wedding dress at the wedding, because white

is considered as a symbol of purity. However, in traditional Chinese culture, white is often

used in funerals, so be sure to remember that white flowers must not be used as a gift to the

patient, especially not to the seniors or critically illed patients. Similarly, the cash gift cannot

be packed in a white envelope, but in a red envelope.

在中国文化中，黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色，因为它具有独特 的象征意义。在封建

(feudal)

社会中，

它象征统治者的权力和权威。那时，黄色是专为皇帝使用的颜色，皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色，皇袍总是

黄色的，而普通老百姓是禁止穿黄色衣服的。在中国，黄色也是收获的象征。秋天庄稼成熟时 ，田野

变得一片金黄。人们兴高采烈，庆祝丰收。

The color of Yellow, because of its unique symbolic meaning, is very important in Chinese

culture. In feudal society, it represents the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, the color

was exclusively used for the emperor

—

the royal palace was painted yellow and the imperial

robe was always yellow. However, the ordinary people were forbidden to wear clothes of the

color yellow. In China, it also signifies harvest. The fields grow golden yellow in autumn

when the crops mature. People celebrate the harvest cheerfully.
