The paper aims to identify universal and nationally specific features of these linguistic units. The author analyses cognitive stereotypical description of reality, in particular, a person’s unattractive appearance, reveals linguo-cultural peculiarities of the lexical units describing a person’s appearance in the Russian and Chinese languages, which constitutes scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is shown that in both the languages, stable comparisons describe deviations from appearance standards. The researcher identifies linguoculturological differences involving the system of model images and the bases of stable comparisons.
