Abstract All translations are but indicative of the translator’s historical environment and value and the target readers’ aesthetic paradigm. This paper sets the Chinese translation of Buddhist sutra as object and divides it into three stages: the earlier stage (from the later Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties), the middle stage (from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to Sui Dynasty) and the later stage (after Sui Dynasty). The origin and historical evolution of the Chinese translation aesthetics from preference to literariness or to truthfulness, to insisting on both literariness and truthfulness from three aspects: the style feature of the source text (from semantic bleaching to harmonization), the target readers (from monism to trialism) and the objective of translation (from introduction to promulgation).
