This study systematically examines the strategies essential for enhancing the global presence and influence of Chinese literature through translation. It begins by elucidating the significance of disseminating Chinese literature on a global scale, emphasizing its role in fostering cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and cross-cultural dialogue. Subsequently, the research provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of Chinese literature's international outreach, highlighting both its achievements and the multifaceted challenges encountered during the translation process. By exploring diverse translation strategies—including domestication, foreignization, and cultural adaptation—this paper offers practical and theoretically grounded recommendations for improving the global reception of Chinese literary works. Through detailed case studies of prominent Chinese texts, it demonstrates how the judicious application of translation strategies can effectively convey the richness and cultural nuances of Chinese literature to international audiences.
