Abstract
Since the 21th, culture plays a more and more important role on the international stage. China is actively promoting Chinese culture to go global. As a cross-cultural interaction method, translation is of great significance. Chinese literary works is a mirror of the Chinese culture. Therefore, their translation serves as a window for foreigners to insight into China and the Chinese culture. Zhao Shutun, as the first renowned classic of the Dai people to be translated from Dai language into Chinese, is qualified to display Chinese culture and national culture. The paper will explore how to translate the culture elements in Zhao Shutun, conclude appropriate translation strategies of such national literary works and provide a reference for the Chinese culture going global in the future.
