The article is devoted to a systematic description of the trends in the development of the Chinese discursive and communicative linguistics. Discursive research and its results in the Chinese academic community have their own original specifics, which are based on the traditional philosophical and ideological foundation and a unique language world picture. The scientific findings explicate culturally determined communicative and discursive conventions of the Chinese social interaction. The aim of the research is to highlight the Chinese cultural discourse studies as a new research tradition in the Chinese linguistics of the modern stage, to expand its methodology and to construct the discursive space of China as the totality of the dominant cultural and communicative vectors as an interpretative tool to help understand and evaluate Chinese discourses.
