The color word is the light wave which by the object launch, the reflection or penetrates the impression which produces through person's vision in the language reflection. Each language has the color word. Chinese color word system is in the Han nationality color cognitive schema foundation, observes the color category which, the color condition word Han nationality, the cognition arrives and fixes the glossary set which forms in Chinese. Chinese color word is rich, its production has the intense mystical color and the rich cultural connotation, its development receives the Chinese society culture to affect greatly, after experiencing "the resolution - to claim" the color and "description - scoring" the color development gradually numerous. Regarding the color word, the domestic and foreign many scholars have done the special research, has made the substantial progress. And, majority is studies the cultural significance which as well as the color word translation question from the cross language angle the different national language color word difference manifests. Their research indicated that although the people have certain general character to the color sensation, But, color word, once enters the social culture domain, because the people locate natural ecological environment, social culture environment difference, different historical perspective, etiquette custom, cultural tradition, belief idea and so on influence, not only different national color word's quantity is widely divergent, moreover, even if is the same color word, also presents the richly colorful emotion significance and the cultural connotation in the different nationality's semantics. Through the different national language color word's research quite, can promulgate under the different social background the color word rich national culture connotation.Actually, in the ethnic identity language, the color word also has not the small difference. As a result of the different social history culture as well as the geography, the custom and so on influence, Chinese color word's dialect difference is quite big, has the strong commeasurability. To Harbin, Jinan, Urumqi, Xi'an, the Luo river is positive, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Wuhan, Xiamen, Mei County, Guangzhou and so on 25 dialects hit the mark the color word system constitution, the classified condition, the symbolic significance and the likes and dislikes tendency and so on carry on a more systematic comparison, in the research process, Some Chinese dialect color word's certain phenomena have caused in our attention - - Chinese dialect color word, what quantity are most is red, expands righteousness to be rich, moreover mainly concentrates, in several have on the happy symbolic significance righteousness item, this manifests the China nationality to the red affection: Red is not only one of Han nationality most commonly used colors, is also in our country culture basic advocation color. "Ukraine", "black" these two expression black's color word utilizes the condition which in Chinese presents happen to with Chinese dialect development condition to agree with. Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, Hangzhou these four ancient capitals, Gives the human in the color word's utilization by the entirely different impression: Xi'an, Luoyang, the color word classification is quite careless, appears one kind of rough bold imposing manner; But Nanjing, Hangzhou's color word's classification is actually finer, the color word's total quantity goes far beyond Xi'an, Luoyang, appears one kind of exquisite supple graceful affective tone. As China ancient times still the color system main body's yellow, gradually was dropping in the dialect color word system's status, a massive derogatory meaning righteousness appearance, appears the close relation which the glossary and the social development as well as the nationality associate. From "light green, grass-green, pea green, light green" and so on widespread distribution green word, we can see the production method which the Han nationality life region the common characteristic and similarly widely uses, but "is green from some special like the orchid, the tortoise are green" and so on the color words we also to be possible to discover the different living conditions in language projection. In the Fujian dialect, the Hakkas dialect quantity many antique color word ingredient, disclosed the people "rather sell the ancestor field, does not change the ancestor word" the idea, reflects Fujian, the guest dialect and the standard spoken Chinese big difference. In addition also has in the Taiyuan dialect the color word to be specially rich, the Guangdong dialect color department is extremely brief, the Nanchang dialect color word lacks the characteristic and so on.Through the earnest comparison, we discovered that because has approximately the same society cultural context, Chinese dialect color word's use has many general character, and as a result of various dialects geographical environment, the historical origin and so on difference, Chinese dialect color word's use also has the different place. Chinese dialect color word in the system constitution, the system classification has the big difference, not only in the different dialect is can manifest the people color cognition level and the attention situation refers to the color word quantity phase difference to be disparate, moreover the classified level, classified degree of fineness and the angle are also different. Especially some have the region characteristic color word, like "the smoke color, the fragrance and color, the show sentiment is blue" manifests the social history cultural element to the color word profound influence.We in carry on the thorough analysis after the comparison result discovered that Chinese dialect color word and the geographical environment, the economic production, the immigration culture, the belief custom, the national contact and so on have the close relationship, presents some obvious rules. Looking from the color cognition category, Han nationality mainly concentrates in "red, yellow, blue, purple, green, black (Ukraine), white, the ash, blue" on nine kinds. Looked from the color word's distribution that color word quite rich dialect often is the transport hub or the economical business center, because and exchanges the frequency, the color word borrows, the fusion for a long time, but the characteristic understands not really; The geographical environment is unenlightened, the transportation is inconvenient, the economical not developed dialect hits the mark, the characteristic color word has retains much; Multi-ethnic live together in the dialect color word, has the alien culture trace. Looked from the classified level that Chinese dialect color word system is by "distinguishes the color word", "to refer to the color word" and "traces the color word" the constitution, displays the Han nationality common color cognition level and the color word development process. Looking from the classified degree of fineness, people because to affection color investment many attention, but also has the thing color which in the production, the life involves frequently to have the resolution necessity to classify carefully, color word quantity are many. Looked from the color naming that Chinese dialect color word (is mainly claimed different color refers to color word) the construction word way many are using the animal, the plant, food, the mineral and so on common thing name names, displays the cognition characteristic which the Han nationality materialistic philosophy view and the beauty unite.Chinese dialect color word research quite, not can only demonstrate that Chinese dialect color word the common characteristic which displays as a result of the same historical and cultural traditions, as well as all sorts of differences which as a result of the different geography, the transportation, the history, the economy, the belief, the custom presents, moreover can promulgate the Han nationality cognition thing certain rules, can make us to deepen by these colourful dialect color word to contains in folk custom culture understanding, understands the regional historical vicissitude, the folk culture, thus is advantageous to the different region, under the different cultural context people's exchange. In addition, through to Chinese dialect color word's investigation and study, we can also understand clearly Chinese dialect development evolves the course, understood between dialect and dialect intriguing origin relations, understood that well national the language policy, processes the popularize Beijing pronunciation and the retention dialect relations correctly.
