Building upon a review of related research, it analyzes the basic principles of foreign publicity translation of intangible cultural heritage and identifies the main problems in translation. The focus of the dis-cussion is on how to effectively develop publicity translation strategies for promoting the interna-tional dissemination of Shaoxing’s intangible cultural heritage. Overall, the publicity translation of Shaoxing’s intangible cultural heritage faces a few challenges, such as provided information doesn’t meet the needs of the target audience, and improper translation of cultural-specific terms in Eng-lish. In order to better serve the development of excellent traditional culture and enable Shaoxing’s intangible cultural heritage to truly go global, the article proposes that translators should establish a discourse-based translation approach, fully consider the context, flexibly change word class and sentence structure, optimize the organization of translation texts, and at the same time grasp the main thread of the promotional texts to reconstruct the discourse in a reasonable manner.
