Notes: This article explores the evolution of Chinese terminology for American cochineal to study global material culture in its local and trans-regional contexts. It examines the emergence, spread, and persistence of predominant terms, alongside the obsolescence of others, within the context of Sino-European and regional knowledge exchange, trade dynamics, and scientific understanding of cochineal. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1740022824000081
