The librettos in the script of modern Qinqiang Opera The Rose Come Late into Bloom are similar to ancient Chinese poetry in form, sound and sense. Its translation can be adapted to the "Three Beauties Theory" of poetry translation proposed by Professor Xu Yuanchong. This paper introduces the similarities between Qin Opera, libretto and Chinese poetry, script content, translator team, rhyme characteristics of Chinese and Western poetry, and the "Three Beauties Theory", trying to explore the applicability of "the beauty in sense, the beauty in sound, and the beauty in form" in script translation.
