Abstract
The article analyses the current state of modern translation studies in China, categorizing its theoretical approaches into three distinct types: translation studies based on the ancient Chinese philosophical tradition; interdisciplinary translation studies; and translation studies with a practical orientation. The study reveals that although Chinese translation studies are rich in diverse doctrines, they have yet to coalesce into defined academic schools, as they have not attracted sufficient attention from the international academic community.
