Abstract
Concepts are central to linguo-culturalism, the interdisciplinary study of the relationship between language and culture. Concepts serve as a repository of cultural content and values, transmitting cultural identity from generation to generation. Each culture has its own concepts that are deeply embedded in its language and reflect its history, beliefs, and experiences. A. Vezhbitskaya has studied how language-specific terms reflect cultural norms and values, arguing that cultures can be understood through their key words [18,263]. For example, the concept of 幽玄 (yūgen) expresses a deep understanding of the beauty of the universe and the mysterious and unknown. The concept of yūgen expresses a deep and subtle feeling, and refers to thinking and appreciation that goes beyond ordinary perception. Concepts serve as cognitive units that emphasize the inseparability of language and culture in the formation of human thinking, helping us understand cultural differences and similarities. Y. Stepanov introduced the idea of the concept sphere and argued that concepts act as key nodes where language, thought, and culture intersect [22,44].
