As an influential work of metaphysics and symbolism, The Book of Changes represents magic and wisdom of Chinese culture. Since the 17th century, varieties of English translations of The Book of Changes have been published which have made great contributions to the “going out” of Chinese classics. However, due to the profound differences between Chinese and Western cultures, the existing English versions of The Book of Changes still have some deficiencies to some extent. Based on this, researches from different perspectives are being carried out. This paper, with the help of corpus, attempts to study translator’s subjectivity in the English versions of The Book of Changes by Legge and Wang Rongpei/Ren Xiuhua in terms of purposiveness, restriction, and creativity.
