English Translations and Studies of Zhouyi Cantong Qi From the Perspective of Medio-Translatology
Abstract
The paper tries to briefly introduce the translation history of Chinese Taoist classic “Zhouyi cantong qi”, hoping to map a clear picture of how Zhouyi cantong qi had played the role in the world. Also, by comparison of 4 full translations, it analyses the differences and variations by their linguistic features. It holds that both social norms and translators’ subjectivity are important in the study of translations of ancient classical texts.
