The research relevance is due to the need to understand the cultural foundations that form the identity of the nation and affect the interaction of China with the rest of the world. The research goal is to analyze the main cultural concepts of Chinese culture. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: a review of existing theoretical approaches to the study of cultural concepts in China was carried out; the key cultural concepts of Chinese culture are systematized, the modern scientific discourse of the topic under study is analyzed. The research methods include the historiographical analysis of scientific literature, the comparative method and content analysis, which made it possible to identify the relationship between cultural concepts and their place in modern Chinese society. As a result, the following conclusions were formulated: in Chinese scientific thought, there has been a transition from borrowing Western theories to creating its own models of analysis, which strengthens China's cultural identity and position in the international arena. However, Chinese researchers are faced with the task of systematizing methodological foundations, adapting theoretical approaches to the features of Chinese culture and language, as well as activating empirical and quantitative research methods in the field of cultural conceptology.
