Abstract: The study of cognitive semiotics first took the form of “cognitive linguistics + Piercean semiotics” in China in 2005. Two years later, the term “cognitive semiotics” began to be introduced to the Chinese scholars, who came to learn the names of those pioneers, such as Daddesio, Brandt, Thom, Stjernfelt, Bundgaard, and others, mainly in Europe. Since then, the Chinese CS scholars devoted themselves to the theoretical exploration of CS, such as metaphor and symbolization, cognitive steps in semiosis, humor comprehension, imterpretation of polite utterances, the deictic center, etc. For another thing, some scholars have focused on the application of the theory in fields such as literary analysis, the interpreter's mind stuyle, education, disaster symbols, architecture, etc.
