ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the translation and dissemination of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty play "The Orphan of Zhao" in France. It first introduces the creation background and cultural connotations of the play, and then combs through its translation process in France. It goes on to analyze the adaptation and dissemination of the play in France, pointing out that the localization adaptation in the 18th century and the multi-media dissemination in contemporary times have expanded its influence. The paper also elaborates on the positive significance of its dissemination for the development of French drama, the study of Chinese popular literature, and the promotion of Sino-French cultural exchanges. Finally, it summarizes and emphasizes the role of the play as a link in Sino-French cultural exchanges and its far - reaching significance.
