This three-volume work presents a systematic theory of Chinese-English translation that integrates historical facts, theoretical comparisons, scholarly analysis, and practical methods.

The author addresses key issues in the translation of Chinese classics while guiding readers through the art of translation and cultural transmission. Beginning with basic cultural concepts, the study moves through translation theory to practical applications - covering traditional Chinese culture, Western and Chinese translation theories, and in-depth analysis of classical texts. The volumes build upon each other to create a complete framework for understanding and practicing Chinese-English translation.

This set will serve as an essential resource for scholars and students of Chinese-English translation and Chinese studies who need practical translation guidance, as well as for translators working with classical Chinese texts.
