How did "National Comics" rise in cultural analysis

2025-02-11

Recently, during the Spring Festival period, domestic animated films have sparked a viewing frenzy across the country, greatly boosting the confidence of Chinese film professionals and audiences in domestic animated films. In recent years, "Chinese animation" has produced numerous works that have been well received and popular, showcasing not only the tremendous achievements of domestic animation in industrial aesthetics, but also highlighting the broad prospects for young expression of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The youth group is a loyal audience for animated movies. Contemporary young people have a strong interest and profound identification with traditional culture, as well as a broader perspective and a more sensitive perception of the development and changes of the times. Domestic animation based on traditional culture must consider the consumption characteristics and aesthetic needs of young audiences. A series of excellent domestic animations such as "The Return of the Great Sage", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Ne Zha: The Birth of the Demon Child", and "Ne Zha: The Demon Child Roars in the Sea" have made valuable explorations in this regard. In terms of story content, these movies are close to the lives of young people, expressing a more youthful perspective on reality. The New God List: Yang Jian questions the unfair treatment of women in patriarchal society through the portrayal of numerous women who silently sacrificed themselves in power changes; Deep Sea "depicts a sensitive and introverted ordinary girl who, through a fantasy journey in the deep sea, strives to break free from her inner constraints and explore social hot topics such as trauma in her native family and adolescent mental health. It is rich in humanistic feelings and a sense of social responsibility. The characters in these animations are mostly teenagers, and through their stories of growing up under pressure from both internal and external environments, they express young people's observations and reflections on the times and society, which can easily resonate with young people. In terms of exploring their connotations, these films have generated more contemporary and universal values from traditional culture. Contemporary young people often possess psychological traits of pursuing equality, promoting individuality, and opposing rigid rules and regulations. The poem "Green Snake: Robbery" cleverly quotes the line "Do happy things with a lover, don't ask if it's fate or robbery", expressing the courage of contemporary young people to pursue true feelings and their carefree attitude towards life; The phrase 'My fate is up to me, not the heavens' in' Ne Zha: The Birth of the Demon Child 'expresses the voice of young people who are oppressed by prejudices and old customs but insist on relying on their own efforts to create a world. In terms of visual effects, excellent animated films all emphasize the use of modern technology to upgrade traditional cultural images and find a perfect balance between technology and art. Contemporary young people have high expectations for Chinese style animation that integrates traditional culture and modern technology. The movie "Ne Zha: The Demonic Children Roar in the Sea" conforms to this psychology. On the one hand, it absorbs traditional art techniques such as cloud patterns and ink splashing, as well as Chinese language forms such as stage poems and tongue twisters, showcasing rich Eastern aesthetic characteristics. On the other hand, it uses a large number of special effects shots to create scenes such as the pristine Jade Void Palace, the tragic and oppressive underwater purgatory, and the magnificent "torrent battle". With a "new mythological world" that combines mythological beauty and technological beauty, it has won the reputation of young audiences. In the design of character visual images, domestic animated films also pay more attention to catering to the aesthetic preferences of young people who seek novelty and diversity. The Green Snake in the "White Snake" series appears in the image of a "beautiful girl god of war", with high braids, sharp eyes, and short leather pants. It is a concrete representation of the independent and unrestrained "big female lead" who dares to love and hate in the hearts of young audiences. In the "Nezha" series, Nezha, with his dark circles and shark teeth, tore off the perfect label of a traditional hero; The plump body and rough skin of Shiji Niangniang have broken the prejudice of "white, thin, and young" appearance, reflecting the more tolerant aesthetic standards and confident and optimistic mentality of young people. The rise of domestic animated films is not a one-time achievement, the future belongs to young people. On the basis of deepening the cultivation of excellent traditional Chinese culture, it is necessary to increase dialogue with young people and create more works that are loved by young people. This is the rightful meaning for domestic animation to move from being a "bestseller" to a "benchmark" and carry out global dissemination. (New Society)
