As a significant classic, Four Books and Five Classics (Sishu Wujing) influences the politics, ethics and culture of ancient Chinese society. It was translated from Chinese to Manchu language in Qing dynasty. After being amended several times, it was finished in Qianlong Period eventually and be a part of Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature (Siku Quanshu) with the name of Qinding Sishu Wujing. There are lots of political proper nouns such as names of ancient emperors and the names of Huaxia-Siyi which do not exist in Manchu language. By analyzing the translation method of political proper nouns in Four Books and Five Classics, and contrasting the discrepancies between old version and new version, the official ideology’s changes of Qing dynasty can be found. 四書五經作為影響中國古代社會政治、倫理、文化的重要經典，在清初被翻譯為滿文，並經過多次厘定，最終於乾隆時期定型，以《欽定四書五經》之名收入《四庫全書》之中。四書五經中有大量的帝王稱謂、華夏四夷名稱等政治類詞彙，這些都為滿文化所無。通過分析四書五經中政治類詞彙的譯法，並對照舊譯、新譯之差異，可以看出等級觀、天下觀、華夷觀等清朝官方意識形態的變遷。
