THE UNIVERSALITY AND PARTICULARITY OF COLOR WORDS IN CHINESE AND RUSSIAN

Abstract

The article examines universality and particularity of color words in Chinese and Russian. As is known to all, color words are important and common in our life. Due to the differences in geographical location and cultural connotation, color words not only have commonness but also personality in Russian and Chinese. In this paper, the researcher takes black, white, red and yellow as examples to analyze. It is known that color words not only have universality between Chinese and Russian, but also have special connotations due to the influence of their respective national cultures. This article looks at the commonalities and differences that exist between Chinese and Russian colours, further emphasizing: although China and Russia are neighboring large countries, differences in national cultures are still evident, and we need to actively use the similarities and differences that exist between them to promote cultural exchange between the two countries.
