This study investigates the difference of the cognitive approach of Korean and Chines of the space direction that modern Chinese space phrase ‘N+shang’. For this, we defined the spatial meaning of the noun ‘N’ and space noun ‘shang’ then investigate the conditions when ‘N+shang’ means ‘the substance interior direction’ and ‘the substance exterior direction’. Also via ‘lou+shang’, we conducted the survey to Korean and Chinese students in order to see the what kind of cognitive differences be shown when they approach and translate the space direction of ‘N+shang’ structure. As a result of the survey, we were able to find cultural difference of spatial approach of ‘N+shang’ between these two countries, Korean select the cognitive inference path; from the substance external direction to internal direction while Chinese select from internal to external.
