San Guo Yan Yi is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of ancient China. A large number of Chinese allusions have been cited in this book, containing rich cultural connotations and national characteristics. Under the guidance of creative treason, this paper analyzes the translator’ conscious and unconscious creative treason in the translation process by comparing the original allusion with the translated text and further explores the reasons of creative treason. The study has found that through creative treason in allusion translations, Moss Roberts conveyed the deeper meanings of the allusions, connecting the context closely and ensuring the readers’ understanding of the whole text; but he also failed to reveal the form or the historical and cultural connotation of some allusions in the original text.
