Abstract

Abstract

Zheng Min is one of the poets of the “Nine Leaves Group.” She is a witness of one hundred years of modern Chinese poetry. As a poet who has participated in the two periods of poetry creation—in the 1940 s and the 1980s—Zheng Min is one of the contemporary Chinese writers who have received the most attention from the anglophone literary world. Since the 1960 s, her poetry has been translated and studied by scholars, translators, and sinologists at home and abroad. This article takes the English translation of Zheng Min's poetry as an example, and reviews the context of the translation, introduction, and evaluation of modern Chinese poetry abroad. It explores effective strategies for the translation,interpretation, and communication of modern Chinese poetry in the world.
