When translating Western poetry, Chinese scholars tend to make the translation more (gorgeous).
The difference between Chinese and Western poetry can be seen through comparison, and the personality can also be seen. Although Chinese and Western poetry can find a certain origin or prove the connection and influence between the two, it is not difficult to find the differences between the two in comparison. This huge difference is caused by their different natures and different forms of thinking.
Chinese poetry is good at describing scenes and expressing emotions, using scenery to set off the atmosphere or create artistic conception, while British and American poetry focuses on describing the reactions that scenery evokes in people's hearts, thereby expressing their own subjective consciousness.
This is a difference caused by the different thinking modes of the two. Chinese people pay attention to expression, while Westerners pay attention to reproduction. The poetic literary theory and poetry creation developed under the command of this thinking mode are naturally very different.
The East, represented by China, has formed the theory of artistic conception and enlightenment, while the West has formed the theory of typicality. Therefore, Chinese poetry pays more attention to the creation of a kind of artistic conception, pursuing the idea that words are exhausted but meaning is not. The exhaustive effect gives people unlimited space for imagination. The emergence of this kind of poetry is because the traditional way of thinking in ancient China is the perceptive and intuitive way of thinking.
Characteristics of Western poetry:
Most English poems express eagerness and intense emotion in an attempt to reproduce this feeling. The ancient Chinese poetry has concise words and far-reaching artistic conception. After the poet expresses what he wants to express to seven or eight points, he will stop and leave a blank space to give people room for imagination.
