Annotation: This paper reviews research on metaphorical lexical meaning in Chinese. It examines theoretical foundations, ontological studies, and applications in teaching Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese-English comparison. The study finds deficiencies in theoretical depth, empirical methods, and cross-linguistic frameworks, and proposes constructing indigenous metaphor theories and expanding comparative research.

Keywords: Metaphor; Lexical Meaning; Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language; Philosophy of Embodied Mind; Literature Review.
