Lexical meaning mainly includes rational meaning, grammatical meaning, and coloring meaning. Mastering the coloring meaning of vocabulary is of great significance for foreign students to use Chinese vocabulary correctly. This study mainly examines the psychological mechanism of Chinese second language learners mastering the coloring meaning of words, examines the psychological characteristics of students mastering the color meaning of words from the perspectives of second language learning theory and cognitive theory, establishes a cognitive schema for coloring meaning learning, and proposes corresponding learning models and teaching strategies.
