ABSTRACT

Under the current background of economic globalization and cultural diversity, major countries in the world pay more and more attention to the international promotion of their own languages and cultures, and regard it as an important symbol of national strategy and national prosperity. Strengthening the international communication of Chinese and Chinese culture is not only a strategic measure to improve the comprehensive national strength and expand the international influence of the country, but also an urgent requirement to safeguard national cultural security and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This paper uses the literature analysis method to determine the most representative Chinese cultural vocabulary and its English translation, and then uses the American Contemporary English corpus as the research carrier to search the frequency and distribution characteristics of these cultural vocabulary in the corpus one by one. Combined with the quantitative analysis of the co-occurrence of context, we can judge the propagation characteristics of Chinese culture in the world today. This study shows that Chinese traditional culture has been paid more and more attention by the society all over the world, and the cultural differences between China and foreign countries are significant.
