Domestic Research:
The first translation of Ci Poems of Li Qingzhao was done by Bing Xin in her graduate thesis for a master’s degree in 1926, in which shetranslatestwenty five Ci Poems of Li Qingzhao. Chu Dagao was also among the earliest to introduce Li Qingzhao’s Ci Poems into the English world.

Till now in inland Xu Yuanchong is the only who has translated all the sixty Ci Poems of Li Qingzhao inLiterature and Translationpublished in 2003. As the translation practice proceeded inChina, the translation studies on Li Qingzhao came into being in the early 1980s. In 1981, Xu Yuanchong published a research article,The Criteria of Translationin which he introduced the famous“Three Beauties”Theory. From the very start, Prof. Xu set a very high standard of poetry translation“beauty in sense, beauty in sound and beauty in form”. It is a very concrete and comprehensive theory of poetry translation.

Eugene A. Nida is an extraordinary linguist, translator and translation theorist.The term “functional equivalence” was given by him, which has exerted a tremendous influence in the world. The concept of functional equivalence was called “dynamicequivalence” at first.The term “dynamic” has been misunderstood by some personsas referring only to something which has impact, thus “functional equivalence” isused instead."DynamicEquivalence" includes four aspects: lexical equivalence, syntactical equivalence, textual equivalence, and stylistic equivalence.

Question:The embodiment of "Three Beauties"Principleunder the view of functional equivalence
As a matter of fact, scholars abroad have also made a thorough and overall study over the translation of Li Qingzhao’s Ci.Of all these overseas translators, Kenneth is definitely one of the prominent ones in bringing Li’s works to the western world. With San Francisco Renaissance as the historic background, Kenneth took his first attempt to translate 7 of Li’s Ci Poems in 1956, which proved to be a failure later as he tended to recreate the Ci Poems and make adaptations to an excessive extent, resulting in many mistranslations in his renditions. Although many foreign scholars have translated Li Qingzhao’s Ci Poems by adopting certain strategy with their own standards in guiding their translations, they have seldom proposed strong theories as domestic scholars have done.
Significance:Song Ci is the precious heritage and accumulation of Chinese classical culture for thousands of years, occupying an important position in the history of literature with its unique artistic charm.Li Qingzhaois one of the most outstanding female writers in ancient China.Herlife spans both North and South Song dynasties.Shehas aprofoundinfluence on the development of classical Chinese poems and is representative of Chinese ancient literature.Therefore, the study of its translation will help to better spread the Chinese culture.Furthermore, with theFunctional Equivalence Theoryas thetheoretical basis, we chooseanalyzingXu Yuanchong’s translation of Li Qingzhao’s Ci poems fromdifferent aspects;we intend to find possible rules and patterns in translationofLiQingzhao’s Ci poems. All these efforts are of great significance on the translation ofLi Qingzhao’s Ci poemsand Song Ci poems as a whole.
