Abstract
At all times the numbers were an important part of people's culture. Where there are people there are always numbers and numerology system. In turn, the figures are included in any field of science and serve it. So linguistics is not an exception. This paper discusses the figures which were the basis of the spiritual world of the Kazakhs and Chinese, namely the mysterious sacred figures to determine their function in the life of people and open the subtle secret of their world view. In the paper we consider the numbers “one”, “two”, “three”, “four” and explore history of their origin and etymology. Through the study of numerology systems we define particular knowledge of numbers, concepts and features of the symbols. Thus we can see the similarities and differences in the numerology world of two historically neighboring countries.
