This article poses the question of the necessity for a comprehensive examination of Chinese linguistic culture, including the examination of mentality, concepts of the world in Chinese linguistic culture, and the examination of universal concepts of existentialism such as "life" and "death" and their reflection in Chinese linguistic culture. In this regard, terms such as linguoculture, concept, linguocultural concept, and language picture of the world are examined, and the contents of the concepts "life" and "death" are also revealed. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the content of the concept "life and death" in the modern Chinese language picture of the world and to determine the way of their lexicographic representation. "Life" and "death" are two of the basic concepts that underlie the general development of human reality. They are universal but differ in national and cultural originality. The examination of concepts will reveal their linguocultural specifics. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the understanding of life and attitude to life in any linguistic culture is a basic guideline of human behavior, which determines ethno-specific norms and stereotypes of communication, as well as the mentality of native speakers. An analysis of the verbal representation of the concepts "Life" and "Death" in Chinese linguistic culture shows not only the traditional but also the modern understanding of life and death and the attitude toward them.
