Abstract
The article thoroughly investigates the unique aspects of expression and description of odors in the Chinese language. It covers methods of identification, classification, and linguistic transmission of odors within the framework of the Chinese linguistic tradition. The article also pays attention to cultural and philosophical contexts that shape the linguistic perception and description of odors in Chinese society. Based on an extensive analysis of literary sources, including classical and contemporary literature, as well as data from linguistic corpora, the study reveals key lexical and phraseological units used to describe odors. Special attention is given to how odors in Chinese culture not only convey sensory impressions but also carry deep symbolic and metaphorical meaning, reflecting historical, social, and ethical norms of society. The author emphasizes that olfactory sensations in the Chinese language and culture are not just sensory data, but important elements in creating a broader cultural and ideological picture of the world.
