The image of "moon" has rich cultural connotations and special cultural significance in ancient Chinese poetry. The analysis of the handling of moon cultural factors, as well as the different translations of moon image when expressing the same emotion in the same poem, provides guidance and methods for translation practice through the development and application of cultural translation theory.
