Abstract

Yu.M. Lotman's ideas on cultural semiotics were introduced in China in the late 1970s’ and have been developing for more than 40 years since then. The process of dissemination of Lotman's ideas in China can be divided into three stages: initial introduction (1979-1993), in-depth research (1994-2004), and multiple expansion (2005 - present). The given paper studies the reception of Lotman's thoughts on semiotics in China from a diachronic perspective, and it summarizes the characteristics of different stages in order to understand the whole picture of the research on Lotman's semiotic ideas in China.
