Jingmai Mountain's Legacy: The Aesthetics of Pu'er Tea in the Transcultural Realm

A novel approach to cross-cultural communication and the preservation of tea culture has been demonstrated through the study of Jingmai Mountain's Pu'er tea forests, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The research highlights that strategic English translation methods, rooted in ecological translation theory, can effectively bridge cultural gaps and enhance global understanding. By employing techniques such as literal translation, transliteration, interpretative translation, annotation, and amplification, the study achieves an ecological equilibrium between source and target languages, significantly advancing the international dissemination of Pu'er tea culture. This work not only fills a gap in English translation studies related to Chinese tea but also provides practical guidelines for the global promotion of cultural heritage, emphasizing the pivotal role of translation in preserving local traditions amidst globalization.
