    This article explores Chinese consumers´ perception of brand functions. The results show that brands accomplish various functions, such as “recall of past experiences”, “quality and guarantee” and “identity and status”. In particular, “recall of past experiences” is a brand function unique to Chinese consumers and has a positive impact on brand loyalty. The “continuity” of Chinese culture is suggested to explain this particularity.
