Abstract
This paper analyzes the cognitive mechanisms of meaning extension and the cognitive process of dynamic meaning construction of the idioms from The Book of Songs by adopting cognitive semantic theories. The findings are: conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy are the main conceptual motivations and cognitive mechanisms of the idioms from The Book of Songs; the dynamic meaning construction of the idioms is a process of blending between idiom mental space and discourse mental space, which eventually gives rise to the emergent structure.
