Abstract

Cultural reconstruction is an inevitable, essential and natural consequence of social and cultural development and advancement. In the whole process of cultural reconstruction, its original root, the culture itself, should be carefully studied and appropriately applied. What is important here is not so much in the future which no one exactly knows how it would be as in the past which almost everything has already reached and even stopped at a certain point of achievement. To know the past well, the assistance of historical books would be indispensable. Meanwhile, in this globalized world, understanding certain culture well means both understanding the culture itself and the cultures around, thus translation becomes another importance factor. Thus, in order to get an effective and meaningful cultural reconstruction, based on the effects that are already displayed, this paper is to research on the significance of translating historical books on cultural reconstruction.
