Abstract: The aim is to substantiate and analyse the features of folk songs of the north of Shaanxi Province (China) within the framework of the concepts of linguistic picture of the world and linguistic realities and to identify the qualitative indicators of their translation into Russian. In order to achieve this goal, the main task was to find a translation way to convey the content of linguistic realities within the framework of understanding the linguistic picture of the world and thus ensure the quality of their translation into Russian. In addition, we had to solve a number of specific tasks, including the following: to select theoretical and linguistic material; to analyse and develop the general state of Shaanxi Northern folk songs and their translation; to identify the current state of research on the theory of linguistic picture of the world; to identify the relationship between linguistic realities, linguistic picture of the world and translation activities; to conduct inductive analysis of selected translations of Shaanxi Northern folk songs and analyse the manifestation of linguistic realities in them. Thus, the material for the study was songs from the north of Shaanxi Province. The subject of the study is to analyse the translations of these songs. The novelty of this work lies not only in the choice of original material, but also in the fact that by analysing the poetic and aesthetic characteristics of the folk songs of the north of Shaanxi province, at the same time we have tried to prove for the first time that the translator's ability to interpret this artistic phenomenon requires a broad background knowledge and poetic taste. We attribute the practical significance of our present study to its results, which may be useful in the dissemination of Chinese folk culture, particularly Chinese Shanbei songs among Russian-speaking peoples.
