Mao Zedong’s poems, Metaphor, Cognitive blending theory.

Metaphors abound in Mao Zedong’s poems. The frequent and substantive metaphors play an important role in expressing the theme of the poetry. Cognitive blending theory has great cognitive effects on metaphor translation. In the perspective of cognitive linguistics, the study on Poems of Mao Zedong lacks a systematic framework for the moment. And it is of great significance to work on its translation strategies, which to rich future translation studies. This thesis tries to combine the metaphor translation in Poems of Mao Zedong with conceptual blending theory and explores the effective techniques in metaphor translation.
