A Study on the Translation Principles and Dissemination Strategies of Tang Dynasty Huadian Culture

Abstract

As an essential component of ancient Chinese clothing culture, Tang Dynasty Huadian (a traditional Chinese facial ornament typically affixed to the forehead) reflects the social milieu and aesthetic tastes of the era through its unique decorative style and profound cultural
connotations. This study aims to establish principles for translating Huadian terminology and to propose effective dissemination strategies. By
systematically examining the classification features and naming principles of Huadian, the paper proposes three translation principles—accuracy, cultural equivalence, and conciseness—and illustrates their application through methods such as literal translation, free translation, and
transliteration. Regarding dissemination strategies, the study discusses multiple dimensions, including film and media, social media promotion, cultural and creative product development, and cultural activities. The objective is to provide valuable references for the inheritance and
promotion of Huadian culture, facilitating its broad dissemination and diversified development in contemporary society, enriching research on
traditional Chinese culture, and promoting cross-cultural communication and cooperation.
