Abstract: Intangible cultural heritage in Beijing has strong cultural representativeness and is the concentrated essence of Beijing and even Chinese culture. This study analyzes examples of English translation of intangible cultural heritage items in Beijing in a self-constructed corpus from the Skopos perspective, aiming to summarize the translation strategies and their effects on this kind of text. It is found that the English translation of tangible cultural heritage items in Beijing mainly involves four methods: liberal translation, imitation, transliteration and literal translation, and different translation strategies will produce different translation effects. This study provides some reference for the practice of English translation of intangible cultural heritage items.
