Abstract:

Tyou-renga, which dated from the Heian Period, is the most representative Japanese Waka. Although there are several papers on Tyou-renga in Chinese academic circles, not one has addressed Tyou-renga and its Chinese translation to date. With the aim of enriching the study of this work, and based on the fundamental types and theories pertaining to the Japanese Tyou-renga, this paper focuses on the overground Seninn-renga, the underground Seninn-renga, and the Generals’ Hyakui-renga as the main objects of study. Starting with a discussion of the basic types and main theories relating to the Japanese Tyou-renga, followed by a specific analysis of the primary source information about the style, the language, the rhetoric, and the sub-text of each Tyou-renga, this paper attempts to translate all the representative Tyou-renga into Chinese based on Venuti’s theory of foreignizing translation and domesticating translations, and to solve the problem of foreignization and domestication in the Chinese translation of the Japanese Tyou-renga.
