Selected

domestic scene/domestic arena

You can translate this as traditional chinese art venturing beyond the domestic scene/stage/arena, or conversely translate this as traditional chinese art stepping into the international scene/stage/arena. Obviously the first translation is closer to the original meaning, but it basically implies the second.
