A Contrastive Study of Colour Words in Chinese and English

A short but interesting comparative essay on colour symbolism in the English and Chinese languages can be found here.  The author tackles each colour separately and briefly examines the different roles that each colour plays within the two linguistic cultures.

I was planning to write a series of posts on colour symbolism after I return from my two-week holiday (July 4-July 21) so I hope this four-page essay will whet your appetite.
