The present book features some introductory discussions on martial
arts for the international audience and highlights in brief the
complexities of translating the genre into English, often from a
comparative literature perspective. Martial arts, also known as
Kungfu or Wushu, refer to different families of Chinese fighting
styles over many centuries. Martial arts fiction, or Wuxia
literature, is a unique genre that depicts adventures of martial
artists in ancient China. Understanding martial arts and the
Chinese culture and philosophy behind them creates an intriguing
experience, particularly, for non-Chinese readers; translating the
literature into English poses unparalleled challenges for
translators not only because of the culture embedded in it but also
the fascinating martial arts moves and captivating names of many
characters therein.
