Starting with Mao Zedong’s “Talks at the Yan’an Forum” delivered in May 1942, literature in China was seen as the key tool of propaganda. Censorship has been a natural part of the Chinese literary system established after the founding of the PRC. The centralized, state-controlled literary establishment was gradually abolished during the post-Mao era, but the basic principles in the official Party discourse remain. Two case studies focused on one of the most sensitive topics, minority nationalities, provide a deeper insight into the ideological back-grounds and aims of Chinese censorship, which can be summed up by notions of social harmony and stability.

This essay focuses on the analysis of the 'translatability' of the 51st and the 160th poems of The Book of Songs. By a historical survey the author describes the characteristics of philological and cultural approach of classical Chinese texts and points to the main difficulties of their interpretations. These poems had been regarded - by interpretators, mostly sinologists - as lyric works, however, because of the cultural and philosophical references, these literary translations generally needed further comments. By analysing the best known translations the author concludes that in understanding and recreating Chinese poems there has always been a dilemma: saving the unity of the poems and at the same time creating a philologically exact translation or by including necessary comments overstepping the limits of literary translation.

Shu Ting is one of the best-known female poets in contemporary China, a member of the group of poets whose work is known as Misty Poetry. This article is concerned with the feeling for nature in Shu Ting’s works; in analysing some of Shu Ting’s poems author finds the way of using words connected with nature, such as trees, animals, the sea, etc., and their poetic meaning in her artistic language. It is focused on the purpose of using attributes of nature in her poetry, whether they are used in a metaphoric sense or as symbols. Landscape and nature, although it is not her core theme, has its certain place in Shu Ting’s poetry. In describing nature she express her feelings, she often uses personification and allusions to compare the human beings to the trees and animals. At the beginning she found the way to say something in describing nature, what she could not say directly, which has turned to using metaphors connected to nature as an inseparable part of her poetic language. Sometimes the traces of traditional Chinese poetry on nature, which has a long tradition in China, not only in poetry, but also in painting, which in the ancient Chinese cultural world is often merged with poetry, can be found also in her works. In mentioning traditional Chinese landscape poetry, we can see in the poetry of Shu Ting that she has some common features with traditional Chinese poetry, whose seem to be more unconscious.

This is an analysis of one of the first literary works on a biblical theme in the People’s Republic of China after the Cultural Revolution (1966 – 1976) depicting Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross, Wang Meng’s musings connected with it and his understanding of Jesus as the Messiah, who according to him was a social and political revolutionary. Wang Meng’s views were influenced by the Chinese Jesuits of the 1920s and 1930s, and also certainly by the Marxist ideas common in China to the present day. Although the present writer sympathises with Wang Meng’s understanding of Jesus’ teachings, suffering and death, he criticises Wang Meng’s messianic idea as very different from that in the Mark Gospel and from the common exegesis of the “messianic secret” of the Christian commentators.

This paper performs a critical reading of the counter-intuitive inclusion of Zhang Zhaohe, a minor writer best known as the wife of the great novelist Shen Congwen, in Modern Chinese Stories, an English anthology compiled by Indian diplomat K.M. Panikkar. Proposing the concept of “subterranean translation”, this paper shows how the explicit translation of Zhang’s story functioned as an implicit inclusion of Shen, when he was denied legitimacy by the state’s literary authorities due to his non-compliance. Shen was present in the anthology not through direct translation of his works, but through a strong intertextuality between his real-life predicament and the protagonist’s dilemma in Zhang’s story.

This article investigates two female characters from the novel Qiludeng (The Lantern at the Crossroads), completed in 1777. They were imagined as a complementary pair. Therefore, the article will also address the literary concept of a “character-pair”, and its relation to the formal parallelism. Then we shall note that the disposition and demeanour of this particular pair correspond with many traditional notions of female social roles, observed by modern anthropologists today. Finally, “character-pairs” in Chinese vernacular fiction will be recognised as distinct from the so called “doubles” in Western fiction of the nineteenth century.
