Abstract
Chinese films have their own national style, which has been identified by theoretical circles. However, the questions of how the “national style” is formed and how the image system is built have not been widely given further examination. The image system of the early films in China is built gradually and driven by the concept of film-drama. This concept focuses on the idea that the film is a kind of drama, i.e., drama-based and film-supported. This forms the theoretical basis of the Chinese film image system. In the 1920s, the Chinese film image showed its original type of style, which was mainly represented through aspects including: scene as the basic unit; an open spatial concept; stylized stage design, etc.
