Fluency in both Chinese and English is essential. You need to have a deep understanding of Chinese grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions, and be able to render them accurately into English. Also, cultural knowledge is crucial. Chinese novels are full of cultural references that need to be understood and translated appropriately.

The Complete Translations of 300 Tang Poems was a collection of 300 translated poems by Tang poets.

One of the main challenges is cultural differences. For example, idioms and cultural references in one language may not have direct equivalents in another. Also, maintaining the style and tone of the original novel can be difficult. Different languages have different sentence structures and rhythms. Another issue is the length and complexity of novels. Translators need to ensure consistency throughout the long text.

Qu Yuan (c. 340-c. 278 B.C.) was a poet and politician of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. His representative work, Li Sao, was hailed as a classic in the history of Chinese literature, with profound thoughts and exquisite artistic techniques. The following is a translation of the full text of Li Sao:
```
I've crossed the river, and I'm not good at running. I'm so happy.
He told me the auspicious day and said: Raise the white horse to the White Emperor.
He told me about his favorite things and said: Skinned grass, exposed short clothes, idle life.
He also told me that he was happy and happy, and said: I am happy and happy.
Answer: put your heart to it, do not have ambition ah do not have ambition.
I've promised you, how can I promise you? Don't eat in summer. Don't eat in summer. It's late.
My heart is happy, ah, since I have tried my best, my ambition cannot be changed.
The soup is deep and the abyss is deep.
Shang Tang Shen, ah, the monarch is talkative.
My words are fulfilled, oh, where my heart goes
You can't bend your will.
Turn back my reins and walk safely, pointing to the deep abyss.
I'm wearing a short robe with a thin net.
Like a butterfly, like a pheasant.
Go back and forth, dance gracefully, lift up the white, lift up the white.
I heard that my late king recommended virtuous people to gather talents.
Holding the jade balance, he pointed to the sky and said: I will use it to pacify the Rong people.
I'm going to make peace for the world.
Li Sao mainly expressed Qu Yuan's sorrow of parting, depressed mood and dissatisfaction with social reality. Among them, the most famous sentence,"I have already achieved my goal, and I am walking in peace, telling me that it is not good to go, saying: 'I am in peace, and I am in peace.'", expressed Qu Yuan's inner struggle and helplessness, and also reflected his sense of powerlessness.
