In the objective world,colors are everywhere.Color words refer to the use of language about color to describe the appearance and state of things,give people a visual feeling,and then intuitively capture the appearance characteristics of things.There are 11 kinds,6 kinds and 4 kinds of views on the type of the basic color word.This paper deals with the Chinese and Japanese languages in order to classify both languages in order to classify both languages.Based on these classification criteria,the number of basic color words is statistically used from idioms and proverbs,and the relationship between the usage of basic color words and the semantic expansion is examined.First,the use of basic color terms in Chinese order is based on the order of white,yellow,red,black,blue and green,and the usage situation of Japanese is"white,red,black,blue,yellow,green".It is understood that the white word "white"occupies an important position in Chinese idioms and sayings.Next,the semantic expansion of the basic color word is more abundant than Japanese,and the basic color words in the Chinese and Japanese languages are the same or close to each other.The semantic expansion of the color word is proportional to the number of use,and there are a lot of the semantic expansion of the number of colored words.According to the analysis of the usage of basic color words from the dictionary of Chinese idioms and sayings,"white" occupies an important position in Chinese idioms and sayings.The color word is related to the frequency of use of color words except for the color.The more the color word is used,the more the derivative.However,the meaning of "yellow" which occupies a large number is not abundant.The basic color words are fundamental recognition for human color,and the basis of the meaning criterion is based on the visual experience of the language subject,but there is a meaning underlying the physical and empirical basis.The basic color words in the Japanese and Chinese languages are analyzed to be extended to the state region,the result area,the object area,the emotional region and the emphasis region.In Japanese and Chinese,it is found that the basic color term is generally extended from the color to the state,and the semantic expansion is caused by the similarity of the two things,and the meaning is extended by the metonymy which represents the whole part.The color language is often extended to emotion,and it coexists with the body,especially the face part.Finally,the semantic change of the basic color word of the Chinese central has the ambiguity of the boundary between colors,and one color word contains many meanings,and the meaning is changed by the time,the place,and the object,and the opposite is "ambipolar".There are also common differences in semantic expansion of basic color words in Chinese and Japanese.It was proven that each race was extended to the meaning of one’s own experience by the history,the tradition consciousness,the race psychology,the life custom,etc.
