The Role of AI in the Cross-Context Communication of Chinese Ancient Poetry Culture--A Comparative Study of ChatGPT & Deepseek's English Translation of Poetry

Under accelerated globalization and frequent cross-cultural exchanges, the English translation of Chinese poetry is of great significance to the dissemination of traditional culture. By comparing the English translations of Chinese ancient poetry by ChatGPT and Deepseek, this study evaluates the cross-contextual communication of AI from the five dimensions. The results show that AI plays a certain role in the cross-context communication of Chinese poetry culture. But simultaneously, the data show that different AIs have different effects on the auxiliary translation of ancient poetry. This means that AI can more accurately convey the cultural connotation of poetry and optimize the effect of cultural transmission by reasonably setting the prompt words. This proves that AI has great potential in promoting the cross-context communication of Chinese ancient poetry culture. Therefore, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: AI developers should tap the potential of models, optimize algorithms, and improve AI's ability to deal with complex cultural connotations and language styles.
