In the Chinese culture, purple symbolizes power, success and spiritual achievement. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of East West Connections is the property of Center for Cultural and Technical Interchange Between East and West, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
