Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to determine whether there are any differences in the progression of linguistic consciousness based on metaphorical transfer of meaning of colour in the Russian and Chinese languages. Scientific novelty lies in studying meanings of adjectives of colour from the semasiological and onomasiological perspectives. The researchers have compared five similar cases of a secondary figurative meaning of the adjective “red” in Chinese and Russian. The attained results have shown that the adjective “red” possesses a stable positive emotional colouring in the both languages. The hypothesis that there are no differences in the national thinking of Russians and Chinese when interpreting the colour worldview has been confirmed.
