Abstract. The article deals with folk tales and phraseological units of the Chinese language with the purpose of determining the national peculiarity of the semantics of the dragon image in the Chinese culture. During the analysis of authentic texts of fairy tales and idioms the characteristics and properties of the analyzed image are compared. The author comes to the conclusion that dragon’s image does not go beyond the semantics and symbolics of the context of the traditional culture, but is limited by the genre features of the text. The results of the research can be used to study the semantics of animal characters in both folklore and literary works, as well as for a comparative analysis of the role of animal images in cultures of different peoples.
