Chinese poetry has long been continuously popular in our history, and has aroused the interest and passion of foreign countries and scholars. Due to the differences in diverse languages and cultures, cultural filtering is inevitable and plays an important role in cross-cultural communication. This paper mainly analyzes the Willis Barnstone’s translation of Snow, which was written by Mao Zedong, the Chairman and poet of China. And other translations will be used as references to discover the manifestations of "cultural filtering" in translations and how does the translator deal with the difference brought by this foreignization translation, as well as the compensation strategies
