Analysis of Legge and Pound's Versions of Shijing

摘要

As the most precious Confucius classic and core of Chinese traditional culture, Shijing has dominated Chinese ideology for thousands years with its profound historical and cultural connotation and denotation. This thesis intends to analyze James Legge and Ezra Pound's versions of Shijing from linguistic and cultural perspectives. In this thesis, Eugene Nida's principles of correspondence are adopted as theoretical support. The formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence theories are applied for detailed comparisons and analyses.
