The study adopts a linguoaxiological and ethnocultural approach to uncover the cultural information, religious symbolism, and social functions embedded in these paremias. The research material consists of an authorial card index compiled through a comprehensive selection of paremias from authoritative dictionaries and ethnolinguistic sources.Methodologically, the analysis integrates descriptive, semantic-cultural, and linguoculturological analyses. The findings reveal that paremias with anthroponyms are deeply intertwined with the agricultural cycle, social life, and nature-related cults. They encode folk knowledge about sowing and harvesting periods (as reflected in weather lore) and religious beliefs concerning the patronage of saints, thereby reflecting the worldview and spiritual traditions of Slavic peoples. Playing a significant symbolic role in religious rituals and folk traditions, paremias influence the formation of social relations and moral norms. Furthermore, from the perspective of Chinese linguoculture, Russian paremias highlight perceptions of wedding traditions, contrast- ing with Chinese festivals that emphasize family hierarchy and social norms, thus underscoring the differences in value orientations and social structures between the two linguacultures. Through classification and contextual analysis, the research identifies changes in the functioning of paremias in modern society, their importance in the process of cultural transmission, and their role in the formation of national identity.
