Ku Hungming's Translation of Confucian Classics:a Postcolonial Perspective

At the closing period of the Qing Dynasty,Ku Hungming chose to translate the Confucian Classics when most of the Intellectuals were bringing in foreign works.This is not a random behavior,but a patriotic action in the certain social political background.The paper applies the postcolonial translation theory and takes a new angle to study Ku Hungming and his translation.It is hoped to discover the unique functions that Ku's translations of Confucian Classics have to the construction of Chinese cultural identity,and find some implications to the study of postcolonial translation and the contemporary translation of Chinese Classics.
