The mapping of the space-time includes the counting of steps, portions of the distance (as daily transitions), breaths, heartbeats, sunrises, and winters. A number of such units are marked in culture. Therefore, there is an interest of ICM of numbers in different LWP that are representatively used in proverbs. To study those models there were used Chinese proverbs (Chinese folk literature and art association, 1961, vol.1) and collections of proverbs by V.I. Dal (mid-nineteenth century) and V.M. Mokienko &T.G. Nikitina (XXI century). The Chinese numbers ICM in the range 1÷100 has 54 numbers (in order of decreasing the frequency) 1, 3, 2, 10, 100, 4, 8, 9, 7, 5, 6, 30, etc. In RLWP 43 numbers were observed in the same interval: 1, 2, 3, 7, 24, 60, 100, 4, 5, 10, 40, etc. In the twenty-first century, the share of the number 1 increases with increasing amounts of numbers and decreasing their share. Thus, ICM of numbers in CLWP and RLWP are similar (high frequency of the first four numbers, the most common for both languages is 1, similar frequencies 2, 3, 100, 5 and are different (ratio of 2 and 3, 10 and 7, etc. in CLWP and RLWP).
