把A看作B （bǎ A kàn zuò B ）
You can use this phrase to express two different meanings in Chinese:
One is that you mistake something for something else.
An example:
Wǒ bǎ yì zhī hěn dà de māo kàn chéng le láo hǔ.
我把一只很大的猫看成了老虎.
I mistake the big cat for a tiger.
Another is:
Bǎ…kàn zuò…de xiàng zhēng.
把…看做…的象征.
…which means to view something as the symbol of something else.
An example:
Wǒ men bǎ gē zi kàn zuò hé píng de xiàng zhēng.
我们把鸽子看作和平的象征.
We view the dove as a symbol of peace.
Zhōng guó rén bǎ hóng sè kàn zuò xǐ qìng de xiàng zhēng, měi guó rén bǎ méi gui kàn zuò ài qíng de xiàng zhēng.
中国人把红色看作喜庆的象征，美国人把玫瑰看作爱情的象征.
