As the subject of translation, the translator, as a manipulator, should adhere to and apply the principles of ‘truth, goodness, and beauty’ in the translation process so that new knowledge can be created and cultural exchange can come into being in the internationalized process of the foreign knowledge. The ideas about the translation proposed by Yu Guangzhong and the translations by him are embodiments of the ideas about “harmony” in Chinese culture, which reflect and highlight the importance and significance of Chinese culture and traditional Chinese thought to translation studies.
