%X The important expositions of President Xi Jinping on education represent a significant component of the Treatise, <em>Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics</em><em> for a New Era</em> and play a pivotal role in guiding and nurturing national consciousness. Chinese educational thoughts are replete with metaphors, which embody the core socialist values. However, the divergence in metaphor systems between Chinese and English poses significant challenges to comprehension and translation, thereby necessitating further academic inquiry to promote understanding of the fine traditional Chinese culture. <em>Taking Understanding Xi Jinping¡¯s Educational Philosophy</em>, as the research object, the article conducts an in-depth analysis of the abundant metaphors expounding Chinese educational philosophy from the perspective of metaphorical types, and strives to provide theoretical support and reference for studying the educational discourse with Chinese characteristic. The study aims to address an unexplored territory in the translation of metaphors characterizing educational thought with Chinese characteristics.
