Rendering Chinese Classics into English I : A New Theory

This first volume of a three-volume encyclopedic set explores Chinese-English translation through Chinese cultural perspectives and modern translation theories.

The volume provides essential context for the translation of Chinese classics while offering new insights into cultural translation. It covers three key areas: traditional Chinese cultural systems and their core principles, modern approaches to translating Chinese culture, and specialized theories for translating Chinese classics - including their cultural context, necessity, and theoretical foundations.

This work will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Chinese-English translation and Chinese studies seeking practical guidance on translation methodology, as well as for translators working with classical Chinese texts.
