On Rhyme and Symmetry in the Translation of Tang Poetry:A Case Study of Xu Yuanchong’s English Translation of 300 Tang Poems

Ancient poetry represents historical and cultural legacies accumulated by the Chinese nation for thousands of years and underpins the strong cultural confidence of the Chinese people.Tang poetry distinguishes itself from other literary works with its beautiful rhyme and symmetry.Previous studies of English translations of Tang poetry mostly focused on appreciation,analysis,and critics of different translation versions.Few researchers have delved into the specific translation methods for achieving the rhyming and symmetrical effects of Tang poetry in the target text.This paper examined Professor Xu Yuanchong’s English translation of 300 Tang Poems as the research object,and elaborated on how to retain the rhyming and symmetrical effects of Tang poems.This paper also summarized some practical methods that can be applied to translating Tang poems.Rhyming can be realized by the addition of end rhyme words and changes in word or line order.Symmetry can be achieved by the omission of a modifier or predicate,the addition of function words,changes in word order,or parallelism with the original sentence structure.

“Admiration of Flowers in Poems”-On Image Rendering of Flowers in Tang Poems Under the Guidance of Green Translation

The progress of economy and social development is the driving force of translation research and practice.With the deepening of global development and cooperation,global ecology and green concept has become a topic of concern and is capturing increasing worldwide attention.Under this circumstances,green development has become the key to building global ecological civilization.“Strengthening ecological consciousness and green consciousness,shouldering ecological responsibility”has also become the main theme of the times.In response to this green trend,Green Translation lays stress on the green concept,green behaviour,and the green value in translation practice.The flower images,which take up a large proportion of plant images in Tang poetry,are of high ecological value and significance.This paper takes the Translation of 300 Tang Poems as the research subject,conducts a study on the image rendering of flowers in Tang poetry from the three aspects of Green Translation:language ecology,cultural ecology and communicative ecology.

A Comparative Study of Nature's Subjectivity in Walden and Tang Poems

Thoreau's Walden and Chinese Tang Poems both attach great importance to nature,devoting large paragraphs to the depiction of it.The significance of this phenomenon is discussed in this paper.Based on the method of close reading and comparative study,it is found that nature,portrayed by Thoreau and Tang poets share one important character,that is,nature assumes subjectivity as an individual being.

A Brief Analysis of the Translation of Tang Poem

As is known to all,Tang Poem(TP) reflects the humanities,the place and the people,the political and cultural life of the Tang dynasty.TP must be translated cautiously and detail.Poetry translation may be considered a rivalry between two languages(or even between two cultures) which vies to express the original idea best.That is to say,it is most important to grasp the cultural background in that period before one can study the translation of TP from a cultural perspective.Culture will not fade as time goes by and will not vanish as the world changes.How do TP be translated into English by application of linguistic context analysis? Firstly,the translator should have a thorough understanding of the content and background,and accordingly use various techniques of translation,e.g.Literal translation,free translation,transliteration,etc;furthermore,the style of the original must be given serious consideration.Linguistic context analysis includes phonetic context analysis,syntax context analysis and syntactic context analysis.As for the syntax,as far as syntax is concerned,there are many differences between Chinese and English.Mr.Wang Li points out:"western language is rules-oriented,but Chinese is man-oriented"(Shen Xiaolong.1990:141).As for the syntax,he says:"structure of TP is close-knit and flaws less,which is inflexible,but western grammar isn't." this theses attempts to analysis how does an English version of a TP embody the style of the original poetic work by using proper syntactical form.

书籍史视域下的《唐诗三百首》研究

《唐诗三百首》是近两百年来刊刻最多、传播最广泛、影响力最大的唐诗选本之一。近代新印的《唐诗三百首》有别于传统古籍,呈现新旧并存、交叉融合的版本特点,构成了册页制度下新的版本形态;其发行传播借助现代报刊以及灵活多变的销售策略,成为新印古籍市场化成功运作的典范;对它的阅读接受也趋向于去功利化。《唐诗三百首》等近代新印古籍对于传承中华文化、促进古籍事业发展都有着不容忽视的价值,对丰富扩展我国书籍史研究也具有相当的启示意义。

论唐代以扬州为中心的交通—文学三角

在唐代,以扬州为中心,存在着三个路线不同的交通—文学三角,由长安、扬州、江陵、成都、广州五个城市及其间的交通路线组成。这是三个事关唐代文学全局的交通架构,布局宏大,结构稳定,功能强大,产生了众多的纪行诗,反映了唐代城市结构、交通路线和文学创作的内在联系。以此为视点,可探索到唐人纪行诗的路线分布特点及规律,探摸到唐文人的成名路径,观察到唐代文学以西北—东南为重的区域分布格局,便于掌握扬州和其他城市在交通和文学上的关系,有利于考察扬州在唐代文学中的特殊地位和作用,具有多重文学意义。

历代选本对孙逖诗歌作品的选录综述

盛唐文人孙逖多才多艺,诏令制诰诗文赋兼善。孙逖一生勤于著述笔耕不辍,在诗歌创作上古调今格各占胜场。自李唐王朝至清末时期,历代诗歌选本对孙逖多样化的诗歌作品均有选录。不过,历代诗歌选本只是单纯选录孙逖诗歌作品,个别选本对所选作品进行简单的文字校注,对孙逖诗歌作品缺乏全面深入地分析探讨或品评鉴赏。

基于“感知-偏好-人格”的传统园林花木人格化研究:以《全唐诗》松树为例

景观偏好是个体、群体或民族对特定景观的态度和偏好。历史悠久、意蕴深远的传统园林花木景观偏好和人格化现象,推动了中华民族健康和谐的社会人格构建,意义重大。花木五感景观偏好与人格关联是关键科学问题。引入人格神经科学,首先从花木影响人格发展的“感知-偏好-人格”神经心理过程,构建研究框架;其次,以古代大数据《全唐诗》所见松树为例,基于NVivo软件和扎根理论方法,发现:(1)诗人偏爱松树,共有3044首描写松树五感景观的唐诗,占比高达6.22%;(2)其中,以视觉景观为主,听觉和触觉次之,占比分别为82.85%、10.09%和9.23%;(3)松树视觉“青”“霜雪”“孤”“鹤”“风云月”等和听觉“风中松声”共计1432个编码,体现了中华民族集体松景观偏好,与坚韧不屈、贞节不阿、超凡脱俗的“百木长”松格建立关联。“感知-偏好-人格”研究框架,能较为全面有效地揭示传统花木五感景观偏好与人格内在关联。

唐诗与唐乐的匹配规律初探——以七首唐诗与唐乐匹配为例

通过对传世唐谱与唐诗的诗乐匹配实践可以发现,七言诗更宜与4/4拍曲子匹配,五言诗更宜与2/4拍曲子匹配,六言诗更宜与4/4拍曲子匹配。七言诗句与4/4拍乐句匹配的标准模式为“■××○|×××○”,五言诗句与2/4拍乐句匹配的标准模式为“××|■×”,六言诗句与4/4拍乐句匹配的标准模式为“××××|×○×○”。标准模式外,诸诗乐匹配亦有所变化。不论“由乐以定词”,还是“选词以配乐”,唐诗与唐乐匹配的主导皆在诗而不在乐。其直接原因是诗句固定的朗诵音节节奏决定了乐句拍节节奏的被动、弹性适应,根本原因是诗句各音节朗诵时值长度对音节节奏产生的规定性,而诗句的意义节奏是对各音节朗诵时值长度限定的关键。

认知识解许渊冲唐诗英译“意美”的重构

运用认知识解机制的辖域、详略度、视角和突显四个要素分析了许渊冲唐诗英译文本。研究发现,许渊冲通过补充缺省辖域、互换语言表达的层级范畴、转换人称视角和改变分句主位与述位或在述位中增加新信息的策略,向目的语读者展现出一幅幅清晰可见的场景,从而关照其阅读期望,重构了唐诗的意美,同时也说明认知识解译者的翻译策略,有助于揭示译者重构译文过程中复杂的心智路径。

晚唐离别诗的盛唐余韵

“盛唐气象”是指盛唐诗歌呈现出的整体风貌。晚唐的许多离别诗延续了盛唐气韵,其意境或宏阔壮大或自然清新,其情感或昂扬健朗或冲淡平和,其气韵浑然流转,这些都鲜明地折射出盛唐气象。出现这一情形的原因包括:儒家思想的影响,诗赋取士和军功制的影响,诗人性情及人生经历,诗人主动追求盛唐的审美风格。

唐代婚俗视野下的爱情诗

唐诗集大成者《全唐诗》中反映婚恋文化的爱情诗达两千多首。取材于现实生活的爱情诗之中,“寄内诗”和“绮怨诗”分别反映了择偶尚男才和尚女貌的婚恋观,揭示了当时男性因拥有经济绝对掌控权,在社会生活中占据主导地位,而女性处于依附男性的被动状态。贫女难嫁和寒士落魄存在异质同构关联性,故“贫女诗”成为文人抒发怀才不遇的经典题材,表明当时科举诠选制度下,寒门子弟仕途坎坷如同贫女无人做媒一般普遍。通过研究唐代时期的爱情诗,除有助于了解当时婚恋风俗和经济社会制度外,还对现代女性通过经济独立达到精神自立具有启发意义,同时对完善人才选拔制度并建设创新型国家具有启示意义。

唐诗中洛阳龙门文学景观浅论

龙门位于洛阳的南郊,它见证了古都的兴衰荣辱,是著名的历史文化景观。唐代诗人宋之问、李峤、李白、杜甫、李贺等留下了歌咏龙门的佳作,从而建构了龙门的文学地理。唐代诗人的龙门书写,在初唐、盛唐集中表现为对盛世景象的歌颂赞美,在中唐以白居易为代表重在“独善”“兼济”的志向抒发。龙门作为驿站又是相聚离别的场所,诗人失意宦游的伤别哀叹又构成文学主调。唐诗中洛阳龙门文学景观的独特风貌,为中国文学地理学研究提供了典型样本。

论唐代题画诗题材、体裁创制的多样性特征

一般认为,宋代是中国传统题画诗发展的高峰,历来研究者众多,实际上唐代题画诗已多有创制。立足于唐代题画诗创作文本,着力于从题材、体裁两方面探讨唐人在唐诗繁荣基础上的题画诗开创之功,题材方面涉及山水、人物、花鸟、鞍马、鳞虫等诸多类别,体裁方面呈现四言、五绝、五律、七绝、七律、杂言、歌行、组诗等多种形式。宋人继承了唐人衣钵,范式大体无出其外。唐代题画诗为即将到来的宋代题画诗的繁荣奠定了重要基础,其成就值得进一步重视与探讨。
