The aim of the article is to compare and clarify the differences in the perception of the image of a zoonym by the speakers of the analyzed languages on the basis of the collected units of fixed comparisons with zoonym component describing human character traits in Russian and Chinese. All the collected fixed comparisons are divided into positive, neutral and negative character traits and similarities and differences are shown when describing the same character trait with the help of fixed comparisons with zoonim component. The result of the study will help avoid the mistakes of using fixed comparisons with zoonym component for Chinese students learning Russian. The scientific novelty lies in the complex analysis of fixed comparisons with the Russian and Chinese zoonyms. As a result, it has been proven that the descriptions of human character traits using fixed comparisons formed by the zoonyms in the Chinese and Russian languages are very different.
