Abstract: The subject of the research is the scientific grounds for the interdisciplinary research of ethnocultural symbolics of Kabardians and Balkarians as the basis of perception as well as issues of ethnogenesis, artistic creativity, rituals and other phenomena in the region.  The author of the article examines such aspects of the topic as the philosophical, aesthetical and cultural analysis and research of literary sources in order to describe artistic and aesthetic grounds of syncretism in the spiritual culture of Kabarians and Balkarians based on their folklore. The research is based on the enthonational concept of folklore as a carrier of spiritual ethnic values and traditions and certain view of life as one of the elements that ensure the continuity of culture and preservation of the basic fundamental national values. The methodological basis of the research includes the elements of the systems and dialectical approaches to studying ethnocultural symbolics of the Kabardino-Balkar Region. Such approach to the analysis of contradictory and perceptible nature of symbol has made the research integral. The main conclusions of the research is that ethnocultural symbolics either preserves the substantial unity of Idea and Item or implicates the image that predetermines the presence of a certain semantic meaning that, in their turn, collectively create insaparable elements of a symbol. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author develops a systems approach that may be useful for further research of ethnocultural symbolics and genesis of the graphic symbol - family signs (tamgas) as an aspect of spiritual and material culture of Kabardians and Balkarians.
