Type: article
Abstract: Proverbs are one of the most representative expressions of a country or nation's language and culture. Both in China and Spain, there is a large number of proverbs related to animals, and bovine livestock possesses a special and important meaning in both cultures. Therefore, starting from the theoretical framework of cultural linguistics and linguaculture, and employing the method of comparative analysis, this work aims to construct a corpus of Chinese and Spanish proverbs about bovine livestock and carry out a contrastive analysis. The objective is to reveal the similarities and differences between the images of bovine livestock in the proverbs and cultures of both countries, as well as to better understand the differences between the peoples of China and Spain in terms of their life habits, ways of thinking, and ideologies. By deepening the knowledge of the image of bovine livestock in the proverbs of both nations, we hope to facilitate and increasingly enrich intercultural communications between China and Spain.
