 From "Classic Literature" to "Type Literature" 

In the "Belt and Road" countries in the joint,African countries have become an important destination for Chinese literature overseas。At the beginning of the founding of New China,China has established diplomatic relations with African countries one after another,Chinese contemporary literature works began to enter Africa,Swahili translations in East Africa can even see Chinese children's poetry works。But,At this stage,The scale of Chinese literature is relatively small,The effect of communication is not obvious。After reform and opening up,More and more Chinese classic literary works are published in African countries,Such as "Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Lao Lunjour Journey", etc.,It facilitates African readers to better understand Chinese literature、Chinese culture。

Translation is one of the main ways of contemporary Chinese literature to build a "Belt and Road" country.。Many English translations or legal translations of many contemporary Chinese literature works are also very popular in African countries。South Africa as an example,In the well -known online bookstore Exclusive Books and Wordsworth,"Wandering Earth", "Three Body", "Supernova Era", "Ballical Lightning" and other science fiction novels are often bet365 Play online games at the forefront of the best -selling list。But,The spread of contemporary Chinese literature in Africa is also tortuous。Professor Zhu Zhenwu of Shanghai Normal University once talked about,China -Africa literary exchanges are seriously subject to Western discourse system and publishing channels。Many Chinese literary works are first translated as English、French and other European languages,Then it will enter African countries after the selection of Western publishers。

Since 2014,China launched the "Silk Road Book Fragrant Project",It aims to build an excellent Chinese book product for the "Belt and Road" national translation and publication。2015-2022,This project has successfully established nearly 3,000 items、Covering more than 50 book translation items in different languages。These projects include many excellent Chinese contemporary literature works,Such as "The World", "Putting on the Terrace", "The Name of the Clouds", "The Name of the People", etc.。These works are translated into English、French、Arabic、Official language or universal language in African countries such as Portuguese or Portuguese,effectively promoted the spread of Chinese contemporary literature in Africa。

but,Chinese contemporary literature works have not been translated into African native language versions for large -scale,This is invisible to set a language barrier for the cross -cultural dialogue and exchange between the Chinese and African people。In recent years,Under the help of Internet technology,Science Fiction Literature、Online literature and other types of literature develop rapidly,Play an important role in the overseas communication of Chinese literature。Some domestic online literature publishing companies have also entered the African market,launched webfic、GOODNOVEL and other online literature reading applications。These applications mainly provide English and other versions of translation,At the same time, it is also equipped with South African language、Translation tools in African language such as Swahili,Readers who use African native bet365 live casino games languages ​​bring a convenient reading experience,Extended the spread of Chinese literary works in Africa。

  African Literature: 

  From "Indo -European Literature" to "Local Language Literature" 

The 1920s and 1930s,China begins to introduce African literature through translating。After 1949,New China actively develops political mutual trust with African countries,Support African countries for independence and independent rights。This period,African literary works mainly enter China through translation,The domestic research on African literature is gradually deepened,The spread of African literature in New China has gone through the first period of prosperity。my country has successively introduced from Algeria、Angola、Cameroon、Egypt、Ethiopia、Kotda、Madagascar、Mozambique、Nigeria、Translation of various types of literary works in many African countries such as South Africa。such as,"World Literature" journal published a large number of African literature works in the 1950s and 1960s,Including novels、Poetry、Various literary types such as folk stories and legends,presents the diversity and characteristics of African literature for domestic readers,Promoting China's understanding and understanding of African literature。

With the advancement of reform and opening up and the deepening of China -Africa relations,African Literature's spread and related research in China is significantly strengthened。On the one hand,More and more African literature works have been translated into Chinese and published in China,South African writer Nadine Gordimer (Nadine Gordimer)、Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka、The works of the Nobel Prize winners such as Najib Mahafuz (Najib Mahafuz) have been widely spread and followed in China。Especially in 2021, the Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah won the Nobel Prize in Literature,China's translation of African literature reached a peak again。Only 2021,Shanghai Translation Publishing House successfully introduced the 10 novel copyright of Gulner,and quickly published 5 of them in 2022。

On the other hand,With the in -depth cooperation Bet365 app download of the “Belt and Road”,China -Africa cultural exchange activities have become more frequent。my country actively hosts the African Literature Symposium、Translation Workshop and writer communication,Invite African writers and scholars to communicate in China。such as,"National African Literature Research High -end Forum" (sponsored by Zhejiang Normal University) and "Symposium on African Literature" (sponsored by Shanghai Normal University) and other activities Important role。

Many domestic publishers have also been translated and published in African literary works,But as a whole,The original language of these works is mainly English、French and other European languages。Actually,The "going to the sea" of African literature is also largely subject to the selection of the Western publishing market。China also focused on African English literature and African French literature in the early days。But,African contemporary literature has a variety of themes,Among them, post -colonialism、Cultural conflict and fusion、Identification and self -exploration、Historical memory and national rejuvenation,These themes occupy an important position in African literature。African contemporary literature naturally attaches great importance to the uniqueness and autonomy of African culture,and try to rebuild and strengthen the cultural identity of the African people through literary reconstruction。So,Writers usually re -examine traditional culture,Seeking the awakening of the African People's Cultural Revival and Self -consciousness。Although some African writers will use European language introduced by colonists to create,But some writers will convey the code between the colonial language and the local language,"self -translation" and other behaviors that are produced also make African literary language have higher complexity,It also enriches the expression of African literature,Make African literature with great research value。

The diversity of African language is the most significant in the world,African local language can also truly reflect the diversity of the African continent。Bet365 app download Around the 1960s,African countries have achieved independence one after another,Many countries have begun to encourage the use of local languages ​​for literary creation。Under the general trend of revival local language,More and more African writers have colonized in language and culture,Choose to create in African local language。In recent years,Domestic publishing institutions have also begun to shift their attention points to local language and literature works in Africa。such as,Some publishing houses will spend Swahili、Literary works in African languages ​​such as Haosa are directly translated into Chinese,Among them, the "Six -point African Series" works published by East China Normal University Press in 2021。This trend will help the multi -level communication of African contemporary literature,It can make more African local language and literature works appear on the Chinese book market。
