Food and Color Words in Chinese

Before we look up the food and color words in Chinese, let me explain one word first. “Bǐnggān” in Chinese Mandarin, can be translated into the cookie, biscuit, potato chips, cracker, and wafer.
The original meaning of “Bǐng” is something shaped like a cake and usually made with flour or rice flour. “Gān” means dry. So any snack that matches that description we all call “Bǐnggān.” Umm…potato chip is an exception….

Color Words in Chinese

F.Y.I

Do you know what is 小粉紅 (Little Pink)?

It means Chinese internet nationalists or patriots. I thought they call themselves Little Pink because of the color of China’s national flag, but I looked up Wikipedia it says this term Little Pink originated on the website Jinjiang Literature City when a group of users kept strongly criticizing people who published posts containing negative news about China. Within Jinjiang Literature City, this group became known as the “Jinjiang Girl Group Concerned for the Country”, or the Little Pink, which is the main color of the website’s front page.
