Abstract: Wilt Lukas Idema is a renowned Dutch sinologist who has devoted his life to the study of Vernacular Novels, Operas and Ancient Popular Literature. Over the years, he has translated Chinese literature into Dutch and English, which has had a profound impact on Western Sinology. Idema attached great importance to editions and always translated from the earliest editions of operas. Having discovered the important values of ancient Chinese Prosimetric and Verse Narrative, he translated the largest amount of this type of literature that a few Western sinologists could match. Therefore, Idemas translation has played a significant role in promoting the spread of Chinese literature overseas.
