A Comparative Study of the English Translation of Meng from the Perspective of Eco-translatology Taking Bernhard Kalgrens and Xu Yuanchongs Translations as an Example

Ancient Chinese poems are treasures of Chinese culture. Translation of ancient poems is an important means to promote and publicize the culture of Chinese tradition. This paper explores the relationship between ancient Chinese poetry and translation, especially how to manifest cultural confidence and realize communicative purposes through translation. Using the theory of eco-translatology, this study takes the English translation of Wei FengMeng from The Book of Odes as an example and analyzes the translation effects of the two translations from Bernhard Kalgren and Xu Yuanchong in the three dimensions of language, culture, and communication. This study aims to provide a new perspective for the study of translation and appreciation of The Book of Odes to improve the quality of English translation of ancient Chinese poems and to promote Chinese poetic culture to the world.
