Translator's Creativity -On the Status of the Translated Literature and the Identity of a Translator

The paper proposes on the basis of Cultranslation and modern Reception Aesthetics that a translated version have its own aesthetic value because of a translator's creativity in understanding and reconstructing of the original text during the literary translation. The translated literature should be regarded as a special part of the national literature polysystem and a translator as an important participant in the construction of a national culture.
