Annotation: This article is dedicated to the comparative analysis of the concepts of "忍" (rěn) in Chinese linguistic culture and "sabr" in Uzbek linguistic culture. In Chinese culture, the concept of "忍" (rěn) signifies patience, self-restraint, and the ability to endure hardships, whereas "sabr" in Uzbek culture is a profound spiritual notion, a sign of wisdom and culture, and an expression of respect for others' opinions and beliefs. This study examines phraseological units and expressions related to these concepts in both cultures, as well as their role and significance in shaping values, norms, and traditions. The comparative study reveals that although patience is recognized as a virtue in both cultures, its linguistic and cultural interpretations differ. In Chinese culture, patience is perceived as an active decision requiring self-discipline and strategic endurance, often serving as a tool for overcoming difficulties. In Uzbek culture, patience is deeply intertwined with religious faith, moral conduct, and divine reward. Analyzing the concepts of "忍" (rěn) in the Chinese language and "sabr" in the Uzbek language through the lens of phraseological units provides deeper insights not only into linguistic meanings but also into the unique aspects of national mentality and cultural values. Both nations regard patience as a moral and social virtue, yet their interpretations reflect distinctive cultural values, historical experiences, and philosophical worldviews. This research contributes to a broader understanding of intercultural perspectives on patience and resilience, uncovering the linguistic and cognitive foundations that shape societal values in China and Uzbekistan.
