Ornithologically, the finches are identified in Chinese as 雀 què, a character originally meaning 'sparrow' but in fact more broadly used for small birds, notably finches and tits. In this family we will consistently gloss 雀 què as 'finch'.

Traditional names

A number of more distinctive birds have individual names.

1. The crossbills are known transparently as 交嘴鸟 jiāo-zuǐ-niǎo 'cross-billed bird' or 交喙鸟 jiāo-huì-niǎo 'cross-billed bird'.

2. The naming of the grosbeaks and hawfinches is more enigmatic. There are two sets of related names:

a. The Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes) is known as 锡嘴 xī-zuǐ 'tin-bill', with popular or folk names written in a number of ways: 老锡儿 lǎo xīr 'old tin', 老西子 lǎo xīzi 'old west', and 老醯儿 lǎo xīr 'old pickle-vinegar'.

b. In ornithological and popular usage, both the Hawfinch and the grosbeaks are known as 蜡嘴 là-zuǐ 'wax-bill' or 腊嘴 là-zuǐ 'cured meat-bill'.

The two names are linked together in the name 腊嘴 là-zuǐ 'cured-meat-bill' (officially used for the Hawfinch in Taiwan), which actually has two possible pronunciations: là-zuǐ and xī-zuǐ (Taiwan xí-zuǐ). The exact relationship among these convoluted names and the characters used to write them is not fully clear.

3. The Brambling is known in North China as 燕雀 yàn-què 'swallow-finch'. There are a number of other names (see tables).

4. Pallas's Rosefinch is traditionally known as 靠山红 kào shān hóng 'near mountain red'.

5. The goldfinches are traditionally known as 金翅 jīn-chì 'gold-wing'.

Ornithological names

The Chinese ornithological naming has been thoroughly regularised. All names end in the character 雀 què, except for the goldfinches, for which some authorities list the older form 金翅 jīn-chì 'gold-wing'.

The ornithological names feature both ornithological coinages or adaptations, at times incorporating traditional names. The following are the main names and their backgrounds:

1. The genus Fringilla is known as 燕雀 yàn-què 'swallow-finch', based on the old northern name.

2. The grosbeaks (Euphona) are known as 蜡嘴雀 là-zuǐ-què 'wax-billed finch'. Those in the genus Mycerobas are called 拟蜡嘴雀 nǐ-là-zuǐ-què 'pseudo wax-billed finch'. The earliest ornithological name for the grosbeaks (from Chinese Birds (35)in 1927) was 大嘴鸟 dà-zuǐ-niǎo, a direct translation of the English. Zoological Nomenclature (1923) listed 桑鸤 sāng-shī, which is from Japanese but probably has a much older Chinese origin. This name is still used in Taiwan.

3. The hawfinch (Coccothraustes) is known as 锡嘴雀 xī-zuǐ-què 'tin-billed finch'. (In the Taiwanese naming it is called 腊嘴雀 là-zuǐ-què 'cured-meat-billed finch', maintaining the early ornithological name from Chinese Birds (35) of 1927.)

4. The greenfinches and goldfinches (Chloris) are known as 金翅 jīn-chì 'gold-wing' or 金翅雀 jīn-chì-què 'gold-winged finch', based on the old traditional name.

5. The cross-bills (Loxia) are known as 交嘴雀 jiāo-zuǐ-què 'cross-billed finch' based on the old traditional name.

6. Species known as 'rosefinches' in English (Carpodacus, Erythryna, Procarduelis, Agraphospiza) are called 朱雀 zhū-què 'vermilion-finch'. The earliest ornithological name, from Chinese Birds (35) of 1927, was 粉红雀 fěn-hóng-què 'pink-finch', a direct calque on the English. This was later shortened to 朱雀 zhū-què 'vermilion-finch', probably inspired by the mythical Vermilion Bird or 朱雀 zhū-què, which is conventionally depicted as a red phoenix-like bird resembling a pheasant with five-coloured plumage. The Vermilion Bird is traditionally identified with the direction south. (The other directions are represented by the Azure Dragon (青龙 qīng-lóng) in the east, the White Tiger (白虎 bái-hǔ) in the west, and the Black Turtle (玄武 xuán-wǔ) in the north.)

The former Uragus sibiricus, now classed with Carpodacus, is known as 长尾雀 cháng-wěi-què 'long-tailed finch'.

7. The genera Linaria and Acanthis (linnets, twites, and redpolls) are known as 朱顶雀 zhū-dǐng-què 'vermilion-capped finch'. The early suggested name in (35) was 贮点红 zhù diǎn hóng, a northern folk name written with characters meaning 'save a-bit red'. This is probably a folk etymology, possibly based on 朱点红 zhū diǎn hóng 'vermilion dot red'.

8. The genus Pinicola is known as 松雀 sōng-què 'pine finch'. The early suggested name in (35) was the clumsy 松树大嘴雀 sōng-shù dà-zuǐ-què 'pine-tree large-billed finch'.

9. The bullfinches (Pyrrhula) are known as 灰雀 huī-què 'grey finch'. The early suggested name in (35) was 鸴 xué, from Japanese, where it is pronounced uso. In Chinese, the character originally appears to have been used for a bird resembling the Japanese Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone atrocaudata) or Dollarbird (Eurystomas orientalis) but was applied by the Japanese to the Bullfinch. 鸴 is still used in the Taiwanese names.

10. The desert finches (Rhodopechys, Eremopsaltria, and Rhodospiza) are known as 沙雀 shā-què 'sand finch'.

11. The siskins (Spinus) are known as 黄雀 huáng-què 'yellow finch'. This is the same as the early suggested name in (35). In Chinese 黄雀 huáng-què is traditionally a name for the sparrows.

12. The mountain finches (Leucosticte) are known as 岭雀 lǐng-què 'mountain-ridge finch'. The early suggested name in (35) was 陆雀 lù-què 'land finch'.

13. Other names include the serins and canaries (Serinus), known as 丝雀 sī-què 'silk-finch'; Tibetan Finch (Koslowia), known as 藏雀 zàng-què 'Tibetan finch'; Scarlet Finch (Haematospiza) known as 血雀 xuè-què 'blood finch'; and the Gold-naped Finch (Pyrrhoplectes), known as 黑雀 hēi-què 'black finch'.

Family name

The traditional family name for the Fringillidae is 雀科 què kē, but on Mainland China it has been rechristened the 燕雀科 yàn-què kē, based on the name of the Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla).
