Acknowledgements On the completion of this thesis, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all those who have offered me help during the course of my graduate study. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Wang Hong, for his continuous support and guidance in the past three years. To me, his learnedness and enthusiasm in translation study is always admirable and inspiring. He has walked me through all the stages of the writing of this thesis. Without his illuminating instructions, this thesis could not have reached its present form. I am also grateful to all the other professors and teachers of the School of Foreign Languages, especially Professor Wang Rongpei and Professor Fang Huawen, whose lectures have enriched my knowledge and broadened my horizon on the translation discipline. I would also like to thank my roommate Ning Juan for her encouragement in the process of my thesis writing. Last but not least, I would love to thank my family, especially my parents, for their endless love and unconditional support in all my pursuits. Qiu Y. Abstract This thesis mainly focuses on the interpretation of the Song imperial concubine titles under the guidance of the ―Hermeneutic Motion‖ proposed by George Steiner.

These names, which directly reflect the general structure of the imperial harem in the Song Dynasty, are specific to Chinese culture, and in some way, they also reflect the social context as well as the social value in that specific period of time. Usually, it is not so easy for people to find the equivalents of culture-loaded words in another culture or to translate them into another language. However, the hermeneutics motion proposed by George Steiner may provide us with a new insight in the translation of Chinese culture
