Abstract: Dee Renjie as a Chinese Sherlock Holmes emerged in the Western detective genre represented by Robert van Guliks and his translator's impression of fiction and imagination in the East.Because of van Guliks,the Chinese image of Dee Renjie holds a place among the classic images of the world-famous,fictional private detective.His evolution was affected by the Western cultural context and psychology of acceptance,keeping a certain distance with both Chinese judicial and Western detective images.After interacting with a Western detective,the image of Dee Renjie becomes a bridge between Chinese and Western cultures,which has enlightened the creation of a contemporary Dee Renjie in popular culture.
