红色象征
在钟果文化中,红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福。在春节和其他喜庆场合,红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时,通常放在红色信封里。红色在钟果流行的另一个原因是人们把它与钟果格命和供铲铛相联系。然而,红色并不总是代表好运和快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写,用红墨水书写钟果人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
参考译文:
In Chinese culture, red usually symbolizes good luck, longevity and happiness. In the Spring Festival and other festive occasions, red can be seen everywhere. When people give cash as a gift to family or close friends, it is usually in a red envelope. Another reason red is popular in China is that people associate it with the Chinese Revolution and the Communist Party. However, red does not always represent good luck and happiness. Because the names of the dead were often written in red, writing Chinese names in red ink was considered an offence.
