Weng Xianliang is a leading Chinese translator in the translation of ancient Chinese poetry into English prose. His translation method is referred to as prose paraphrasing and his translation style as the type of liberal translation or spiritual resemblance. However, little research has long been conducted into the artistry of his prose paraphrasing method as well as the inter-recognition of different arts in his liberal translation or spiritual resemblance. ＂Pointing and romancing technique＂ is an important means of traditional Chinese painting. Based on its origin, composition, type and usefulness, the present paper analyzes the poetic functions, poetic motivations and aesthetic effects in reference to Weng Xianliang＇s Chinese-English poetic recreations so as to unveil the artistry of his prose paraphrasing method and the fusion of different arts in his poetic translations. It aims to shed light on Weng Xianliang＇s art of poetic translation to literary translation and across-the- cultural communications.
