ABSTRACT: Poetry of Tang Dynasty is a pearl in world literature. The English translation of poetry of Tang Dynasty can help more people know about Chinese history, language and culture. As bilingual learners, Chinese students are encouraged to know more aspects of the culture to achieve a smooth cross-cultural communication. Taking the classic poem of Tang Dynasty, Li Bai’s Changganxing, and its English translations as examples, this paper tries to prove the importance of literature in cross-cultural communication in language classrooms. At the same time, the paper also advocates the integration of poetry of Tang Dynasty in English classes and proposes some teaching strategies in order to improve the core literacy and cross-cultural communication ability of Chinese students.
