Polyhistor Posted September 22, 2020 at 02:35 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 at 02:35 PM Anybody aware of any non-Chinese Asian literature available in Chinese? I've got a bunch of Japanese samurai novels and the Tibetan 格萨尔王 and a Vietnamese history written in 1400 in Chinese. But I would rather be interested in seeing Korean literature, Thai, or anything else, really. I've searched without success, though. Japanese literature seems to have a respectable history in Chinese translation, but the people I've spoken with have never even seen Korean literature in Chinese, much less Thai or Indian or Mongolian.

feihong Posted September 22, 2020 at 04:46 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 at 04:46 PM There are a massive number of works translated from Korean to Chinese: https://book.douban.com/tag/韩国文学 There are also many Korean webtoons that have been translated into Chinese, if you’re into that sort of thing.

PerpetualChange Posted September 22, 2020 at 06:04 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 at 06:04 PM I don't know much about contemporary Korean literature but much of the classical literature that you seem to be looking for from Korea would have largely been written in classical Chinese characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
