Annotation: Phraseological expressions in the Chinese language serve as a vital component of the nation's cultural heritage, encapsulating the historical evolution of Chinese society. These expressions not only convey human emotions and interpersonal relationships but also embody various dimensions of Chinese culture. Numbers, while primarily associated with mathematical calculations, carry deep symbolic meanings within these phraseological units. This article studies the semantic duality—both positive and negative—associated with the number "4" in Chinese phraseology, highlighting its cultural and metaphorical significance.

Keywords: Phraseological units, cultural heritage, societal development, Chinese traditions, national identity, worldview, metaphorical language, semantics.
