As a regional distinctive culture among ancient Chinese civilization, Chu culture was as dominant as it had always been in Chu State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. Among them, Chu lacquer wares are the classic representatives of Chu culture. It is summarized that cultural characteristics refer to the belief, the ornamentation preference, the spirit and the color preference. Thus, these characteristics have a great impact on the corresponding translation of these Chu lacquer wares. Exploring the traces of translation on Chu lacquer wares would boost Chu culture, the outstanding and remarkable treasure of knowledge, and promote cultural exchange.
