Abstract: The introduction of works is an important path for literary exchange and dialogue, as well as a primary measure of assessing the literary influence of a country. Currently, there is still room for improvement in the overall understanding and individual case excavation of the translation of Chinese classical literature into modern Japan. Thirteen translated and adapted works by Izumi Kyoka, a modern Japanese writer, involve a total of 38 texts from Chinese classical literature. Without a doubt, these translated and adapted works play a promoting role in enabling the Japanese people to read, accept, and disseminate Chinese classical literary works, thereby expanding their influence. As one of the cases of literary exchange and dialogue, a detailed examination of Izumi Kyokas translated and adapted works would undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding of the literary exchange between Japan and China during the Meiji and Taisho periods.
