1. Introduction
Classical Chinese poetry (CCP) takes a huge part in Chinese literature, and it not only contains our ancestors’ thoughts towards life and nature, but also recalls us their living style and social conventions. As an important conveyor of Chinese culture, the study of CCP provides us with a direct way to learn our culture better. Translations of CCP allow foreigners to get access to Chinese ancient thoughts and life. Meanwhile, translating of CCP can stimulate different thinking towards the understanding of the poems.
Classical Chinese poems have been translated by both foreign and domestic translators. There are many strategies we can learn from the translations, however, there is also space for us to improve the translation. Zhu Guangqian coined the item aesthetic translation in 1980s, and he thought that one could not avoid aesthetics when he is doing translation (刘宓庆, 章艳, 2011: *V). In this paper, I will compare the two translations of Li Bai’s Changgan *ing to see their aesthetic difference caused by cultural difference and purposeful difference. One of the translations is by Ezra Pound, an American translator and poet; the other is by *u Yuanchong, a Chinese professional translator. By comparing the two translation versions, learners can have a brief view on aesthetic translation and make some progress in future translation.

In the following list, we can see the different features of Guti poetry and ……（未完，全文共18634字，当前仅显示3352字，请阅读下面提示信息。收藏《毕业论文：Comparison of Two Translations of Li Bai’s Changgan *ing From an Aesthetic》）
