• Abstract: This article attempts to discuss the cultural connotation of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law across Chinese-Western Cultures from the perspective of language and culture, and start with the cultural metaphors of ethical relations and divine law as shown in the naming of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between China and the West. Further expand and contrast through the cases in several classic discourses, and then try to break the extreme cultural stereotypes from another perspective, and finally try to explain the issue in the form of yin and yang thinking, in order to make up for the deficiencies in the clear and conceptual way of thinking in cultural comparison in explaining the issue. 本文试图从语言与文化的角度，探讨婆媳关系在中西不同文化背景下的内涵，从对婆媳的命名所分别展现的人伦与律法的文化隐喻开始讨论，并通过多个经典语篇中的案例进行进一步展开和对比，而后从另一个角度思考力求打破极端的文化刻板印象，最后尝试以阴阳思维形式对该议题进行阐释，以弥补在文化比较中泾渭分明的概念思维方式在阐释该议题时的不足。
