The work is dedicated to the linguoculturological analysis of phraseological units with eye somatism in Chinese, Buryat and Russian languages. Somamtisms along with animalistic components, are the most frequent in the phraseological corpus of the Chinese, Russian and Buryat languages. The considered somatism is one of the most frequent in the languages under consideration. In the course of the study, the methods of continuous sampling, comparative analysis identified and described the universal and unique characteristics of the use of the somatic component of the eye, characteristic of different worldviews of native speakers of these three different languages – Chinese, Russian and Buryat, who actively interact on the territory of the Baikal region – Republic of Buryatia, Zabaikalski Krai and Irkutskaya Oblast, but at the same time undoubtedly have great worldview, cultural and mental traditions’ differences.
