The traditional academic field confines number concepts within linguistics while Cognitive Linguistics highlights it as the metaphorical path which can conceptualize other abstract concepts from the known to the unknown. On the basis of sufficient demonstration of numbers' metaphorical nature, related materials have been comprehensively collected. Besides, the author contrasts number metaphors systematically between two languages in an attempt to summarize its similarities and differences as well as the profound motivation behind.
