Abstract

In Chinese Classical Poetry, there are so many Chinese terms which carry symbolic meaning. It is a hard nut for a translator to crack to successfully reproduce their cultural symbol in the Western Culture. Literal translation adding notes and building a bridge between the symbolic representation and the source are good means in reproducing symbolic representation of Chinese Classical Poetry.
