From the article:

"White, corresponding with metal, represents gold and symbolizes brightness, purity, and fulfillment.

White is also the color of mourning. Unlike the Western meanings of purity, chastity, holiness and cleanliness..."

So it symbolizes purity but not purity? This needs clearing up.—Precedingunsigned comment added by158.37.54.22 (talk)13:06, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The common word for gold in mandarin is 金, metal and gold are both 金174.89.173.224 (talk)07:17, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is the word "grue" real? It seems like a prank. It's not listed as being associated with China on a Google search.— Precedingunsigned comment added by98.110.194.168 (talk)19:55, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The spellingcolor is correct inAmerican English where ascolour isBritish English. See:American and British English spelling differences. As per the guidelines atMOS:ENGVAR andWP:SPELLING, this article should remaincolor.Rincewind42 (talk)05:01, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure yet how to add this to the article.

This article saysyellow in Chinese culture "is considered the most beautiful and prestigious color", but yellow also sometimes refers to Chinese people (or Asians in general), although the usage may be outdated and may not be politically correct. Examples:

• Wiktionary:yellow
• Banana, coconut, and Twinkie
• Yellow Peril
• color terminology for race
• the lyrics "red and yellow, black and white" in the song "Jesus Loves the Little Children"
• Lost in Translation (film)#Accusations of racial stereotyping quotes Kiku Day as saying "The viewer is sledgehammered into laughing at these small, yellow people and their funny ways."

Scholarly citations would be what I would need to adequately verify claims for this in this article.Remsense诉02:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
