Abstract

Nowadays, with the obvious strengthening of cultural exchanges between China and Russia, improving the efficiency of cultural exchanges between the two countries has become an important task. In the article, the concept of the principle of cooperation and its main classification are considered. With the help of the comparative analysis and identification of coincidences between the components of this principle and traditional Chinese culture, the author comes to the following conclusions: the principle of “the maxim of the amount of information” corresponds with traditional Chinese Confucianism; the principle of “the maxim of information quality” is consistent with the traditional Chinese concept of “honesty”; the principle of “attitude maxim” reflects the features of traditional Chinese philosophy and cognitive psychology; the principle of the “the maxim of the way of expression” is similar to the traditional way of thinking and logic of the Chinese.
