Abstract—This study explores the application of sociolinguistics in the dissemination of intangible cultural heritage, using translations of “Huainanzi” as a case study. By analyzing the translation and dissemination methods of “Huainanzi” in different linguistic and cultural contexts, the research reveals how sociolinguistic approaches can help preserve and convey cultural meanings. The study focuses on language choice, translation strategies, and their impact on cultural understanding, demonstrating the importance of effectively communicating ancient culture in a modern context. The findings suggest that sociolinguistic methods can not only enhance the dissemination of intangible cultural heritage but also promote cross-cultural communication and understanding.

Keywords—intangible cultural heritage, sociolinguistics, translation, cultural dissemination, Huainanzi
