Abstract: The English translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature in the new era has been primarily organized and implemented by such CFLPA-affiliated (China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration) publishing houses as the Foreign Languages Press and the Chinese Literature Press, within the framework of ethnic theoretical discourse. Current research on the topic is limited and mainly focuses on the assessment of translation quality. However, little attention has been paid to the profound impact of China's ethnic theoretical discourse on the state-funded translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature, particularly in light of inter-cultural communication. This paper aims to analyze the preliminary norms for the state-funded translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature in the perspective of China's ethnic theoretical discourse. Specifically, it examines three aspects: the preliminary norms, Chinese ethnic theoretical discourse and the state-funded translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature, and the selection of works to be translated. By doing so, the author further explores the cultural and ideological motivations and objectives, and seeks to reveal the interactive relationship between China's ethnic theoretical discourse and the state-funded translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature.

Key words: the state-funded English translation of Chinese ethnic minority literature, preliminary norms, ethnic theoretical discourse, the new era
