Shavan's Translations Inside and Out
by Lu Feng
About This Novel
But the young man was interested in the labyrinth of words and the history buried underground. An accident pushed him into the world of Sinology, but no one could push him out again. He couldn't wait to start work, and with the assistance of Tang Xiali, the counselor of the Qing Dynasty Embassy in France, he started with the ancient Chinese ritual "Fengchan Book". Translation is the conversion of two languages, and Shawan's translation is first of all exploration. While translating, he studies what documents the author has referred to, what materials he has used, and how reliable they are. Then he traces those documents, explores their authenticity, and then reconnects various lines. What's rare is that during the search process, all the doors were easily opened without breaking down the doors and picking the locks. The amount and breadth of the information searched out were astonishing. You are waiting for this Western boy to make a story, but there is no accident, and his move is extraordinary. Four years later, half of the book has been annotated, and it was published by Beitang Printing House sponsored by the Christian Church.
