——A Case Study of Twenty-Four Styles of Poetry Translated by Herbert Allen Giles


Li Xuemin, Chen Guoxing


Abstract: The Twenty-Four Styles of Poetry authored by Sikong Tu, the poetry as well as the litterateur and the literary theorist work is featured with the theoretical and aesthetic. Because of Sikong Tu's embracement of the Taoist thoughts of Lao Tzu and Meng Tzu with the Tao (道) , "doing nothing" (无为) , "plainness" (朴素) , "naturalness"(自然) as the core, his work reflects the Taoist philosophy of which is extended into the aesthetics of creating the poems: implicativeness, naturalness and elusiveness. This paper aims to adopt the "four steps" by George Steiner, the hermeneutic approach to translation to analyze and study how the famous English sinologist in mid-19th century, Herbert Allen Giles understand and interpret the Taoist thoughts throughout the work so as to meet the goal that make the reader know and applicate this theory better, providing another new theorist perspective in the later similar study.
