Abstract
Exploring the traditions of translation in both Chinese and Western contexts unveils the crucial function of translation in overcoming linguistic and cultural divides. It underscores the importance of translation as a dynamic and evolving instrument for facilitating cross-cultural exchange. In this essay, as we delve into the historical foundations of Chinese and Western translation, closely examining symbolic translation concepts and theories that have shaped their evolution, a deep appreciation emerges for the intricate web of ideas that has defined the field. The comparison of thinking patterns between Chinese and Western scholars further illuminates the diverse perspectives that underlie distinct approaches to translation.
