The inheritance and promotion of Chinese traditional culture have received increasing attention in the past few years, which is a big part of the blueprint of China cultural soft power. And tea culture as one important component is treated as the research focus. Through the translation, and interpretation of two Enshi folk songs: “A Young Maiden Sends Tea” and “Ode to The Four Seasons of Tea Mountain”, two great themes: tea culture and nature harmony are analyzed in connection with the ethnic custom and the ecological environment of the people in Enshi. And the nationality and regionality characteristics of the two folk songs are also stressed. Furthermore, as tea culture and nature harmony are closely related, this paper has explained aspects such as the division of labour between men and women, love relationship between young men and women, the characteristics of the growth of tea trees, the industry of growing tea, and the life of the girls picking tea. After all, the generation of the tea industry in Enshi has everything to do with the ecological environment there, and the way people live both shapes and is shaped by the way people make a living. The folk song in Enshi is the vivid representation of the local residents’ life, and the people there gradually formed their current way of life. As a whole, it is with the help of medio medio-translatology that facilitate the communication and circulation of folk songs, and the precious tea culture as well as culture harmony are better presented to the public
