Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Chinese classical Poetry is the combination of form and content; and the content and meaning of a poem can not be separated from its form. Thus the special formal constituents of classical poetry needed to be transplanted into target language,so that the form beauty of the original poetry can be recreated into target language,and its special style and aesthetic value can be truly achieved in the translated version. Form,therefore,should be given proper attention in the translation in order to convey its aesthetic meaning. Through the transplanting of form and representation of its aesthetic meaning,the cultural value of poetry translation is achieved.
