Demand-Orientation,Intercontinental Interaction,and Periodicity:A Case Study on the Regulations in the Translation and Dissemination of Etnic Minorities'Cultural Classics in China
Chinese ethnic minorities'cultural classics is one of the organic parts of Chinese culture as a whole.Its translation and dissemination help present a true,multi-dimensional,and panoramic view of China to the world.However,there is an imbalance in such undertaking,and the regulations involved have not yet been systematically explored.The problem can be addressed by analyzing Manas,King Gesar,and The Secret History of the Mongols as typical cases for revelations.It is concluded that those cases share basically three features in common,namely demand-orientation,intercontinental interaction,and periodicity.Based on this finding,the task in question can be further promoted by studying its intrinsic value in relation to the cultural demands from the target readers,translation and dissemination stages,translation modes and so on.
