主题群:历史、社会与文化 子主题:文化自信 语篇类型:说明文 难度:★★
Chinese people like the colour red a lot. Even now, we like to refer to ourselves as chizi, which means we are loyal(忠诚的) to our country.
Red represents the motherland and authority(权力). Some official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were red. In the Qing Dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the Five-star Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, the headlines of official documents(文件) are painted in red. This is why they are called red-head documents.
For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word "double happiness" used for weddings is red. The bride(新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white wedding gowns in the West. During the Spring Festival, people give red packets to the children as good wishes. Couplets(对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are also red. The expression hongyan is a synonym(同义词) of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights, red means you should stop driving. This is how the Westerners like to use the colour red. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn't really have any negative meanings.
1. What does chizi mean?
2. When was the Five-star Red Flag first raised?
3. What does red mean for ordinary people?
