Abstract:Zang Hua Yin, a very famous song in the Dream of Red Mansion, was sung by the protagonist Lin Daiyu. It described the falling flowers, when Daiyu saw them; she felt sorrow and thought the flower just as herself. It permeated a special mourn of Daiyu. Its consummate crafts and superb artistic values well deserve our research and probe. This paper aims to undertake contrastive reading and appreciation of its three versions respectively by Lin Yutang, David Hawkes and Hai Wai Yi Shi under the formal correspondence, the ease of the original composition, and the aesthetic-oriented translation principles to find a better version.
Key words: Zang Hua Yin; Translation versions; Three principles
