Thus, the author proposes that, in order to better spread the culture of Chinese classical poetry and convey China’s core spirit to the world, China should focus on cultivating the domestic talents who have a deep understanding about Chinese culture, who are proficient not only in Chinese classical poetry, but also in classical poetry translation. Index Terms—“Three Beauties” theory, “Song When Shen(2nd poem)” , Arthur Cooper, English translation of Chinese classical poetry I. INTRODUCTION China has a long history in poetry creation, however, the research on poetry translation started very late in China Even in the Tang and Song Dynasties, when poetry writing was popular and when culture was open, there did not appear any relevant translation researches.

    International Conference on Humanities and Social Science (HSS 2016) Studies on English Translation of Shijing in China: From Language to Culture 1 2,* Yan-Hua WANG and Pei-Xi HUANG 1Shanghai Technical Institute of Electronics and Technology, Fudan University, Fengxian District, Shanghai, China 2College of foreign languages,Donghua University, Shanghai, China *Corresponding author Keywords: Shijing, English translation, Cultural consciousness. Abstract.Studies on English translation of Shijing have undergone three phases in China. It begins with introductions of English versions and their translators as well as comparisons between them; the second phase features in the theoretical attempt of translational strategies. The first two phases stress more language or translation theories than cultures. The third is characterized by cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and multidimensional research on English translation of Shijing. Meanwhile, new translational theories and historical literature offer new perspectives for studies on English translation of Shijing, which enhances its cross-cultural research in the new era. Introduction English translation of Shijing can be dated back to the eighteenth century. It is believed that English translation of Shijing was initiated by Sir William Jones, a British orientalist and translator, who was interested in Chinese culture and attempted to translate some poems in Shijing into English.[1] His work marked the beginning of Shijing going into the English world and studies on it have been continuously carried on ever since. Compared with overseas research on the English translation of Shijing, its studies in China began much later. Recent literature reveals that most studies did not begin until 1980s. Chinese studies on English translation of Shijing can be divided into three phases: introduction of English versions and their translators in the first phrase, theoretical attempts in the second and cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and multidimensional studies in the third.
