Abstract

This study explores the literary excellence and global dissemination of Fan Zhongyan’s “Yueyang Tower,” a masterpiece of Chinese classical literature from the Northern Song Dynasty. By examining its historical and cultural significance, the research underscores Fan Zhongyan’s contributions as a statesman and literary scholar. Using a multidisciplinary approach, it combines textual analysis, translation critique, and cross-cultural reception studies to evaluate translations and interpretations of “Yueyang Tower” across different cultures. Key findings highlight the challenges and strategies in translating the essay’s rich stylistic and thematic elements and the impact on the international perception of Chinese literature. The research offers new perspectives in comparative literature, translation studies, and cultural studies, concluding with reflections on the essay’s enduring legacy and advocating for further exploration of cultural dialogue through literary translations.
