However, existing English translations often inconsistently use core terminology and inevitably omit cultural information, which limits their efficiency in international communication. Examining the English translation of calligraphic technique terminology for cursive script on the bamboo slips and wooden tablets of the Han Dynasty in Dunhuang (BSWTHDD), the article situates the English renderings within the specialized context of calligraphy and draws on translation strategies adopted by Jiang Yi and other scholars in related parallel texts. The study seeks to establish a pragmatic equivalence between morphological description and cultural transmission and explore effective strategies for standardizing the English translation of slip calligraphy terminology, thereby facilitating the international communication of writing culture for the bamboo slips and wooden tablets of the Han Dynasty in Dunhuang (BSWTHDD).Calligraphy on the bamboo slips and wooden tablets of the Han Dynasty in Dunhuang,Cursive script,Calligraphic technique terminologies,C-E translation strategies
