  • NE ZHA: a Remodeling Strategy of the Oriental Mythological Prototype

    NE ZHA: a Remodeling Strategy of the Oriental Mythological Prototype

    2019 International Conference on Art Design, Music and Culture (ADMC 2019) NE ZHA: A Remodeling Strategy of the Oriental Mythological Prototype Zheng Jinyan School of digital creation and animation, Shenzhen Polytechnic, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China Keywords: Oriental mythology, Prototype shaping, Animation works, Reshaping strategy. Abstract: Oriental traditional myths usually contain the archetypes that people yearn for. These archetypes represent part of the emotional expression that people pursue in their hearts. Many wonderful films began to attract more audiences with the increasing of domestic mythological films. But in this process, the prototype of myth is not perfect. Therefore, this paper takes the typical oriental mythological prototype film “Ne Zha: I am the destiny “ as an example and analyses the connotation of the prototype on the basis of analyzing the plot of the film. Finally it puts forward specific strategies for remodeling the Oriental mythological prototype with a view to providing supplementary material for the current analysis of the mythological film. 1. Research Background 1.1 Literature review In the Chinese cultural circle, characters are the earliest used cultural symbols, but because of various factors, mythology has not occupied an important position in historical documents. Many ancient myths with humanistic attributes are lost, concealed or recorded (Gan Z. L, 2012). Nevertheless, according to the literature of later generations, there are still plenty of information about the sun, moon, stars and figures. The emergence of mythology is related to human desire to conquer natural forces, but it is an unconscious product of human beings. Its metaphorical and symbolic nature is more closely related to words (Chen Z.

    A Dream in Fantasia — A Cantonese Opera Based on A Midsummer Night's Dream Loretta Ling Yeung, Hong Kong and Augusta, Georgia USA Abstract This review discusses an appropriation of A Midsummer Night's Dream by the Hong Kong Young Talent Cantonese Opera Troupe. While retaining most of Shakespeare's characters and his basic plot structure, the new opera, A Dream in Fantasia, aimed to expand the audience for Cantonese opera. At the same time it proved to be transparently entertaining to its Cantonese audience.

  • The Symbol of the Dragon and the Tiger in Chinese and Japanese Art

    The Symbol of the Dragon and the Tiger in Chinese and Japanese Art

    THE RULERS OF SKY AND EARTH THE SYMBOL OF THE DRAGON AND THE TIGER IN CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART Grade Level This lesson is written for grades 9-12; it can be used in a World History or an Art class. Purpose To look at how symbols of power, the dragon and the tiger, are portrayed in the art of China and Japan; students will then compare and contrast this with the Western conception and portrayal of the dragon. Concepts In the Western world, dragons are portrayed as evil, fire-breathing creatures that must be subdued and killed by heroes. The Western dragon is seen as essentially negative, a symbol of evil and a sign of the devil. In Asia, the dragon is a positive force, a symbol of peace and harmony. Chinese and Japanese dragons are considered to be benevolent and auspicious. They breathe water rather than fire and have the power to bring rain, an important attribute in an agricultural society. The Chinese dragon is a supernatural, mythical creature that inhabits the sky and the waters and is connected with clouds, rains, and fertility on one hand and the emperor and his venerated ancestors on the other. For the last 4,000 years, the dragon has intertwined itself into all phases of China's social and political life as well as every form of art and literature. The dragon is the most important symbol of power, and the symbol of the emperor; no other animal has occupied such an important place in the thought and art of the Chinese people.
