Research on National Cultural Consciousness Construction and Strategy of Chinese New Mythological Animated Films--Taking Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child as an Example

Abstract

Chinese neo-mythological films are emerging as a new genre of cinema, attracting more and more creators and audiences. Taking Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child, a representative of the new mythology animated films, as an example, this paper analyses the national cultural awareness embodied in the characterisation and social identity of Chinese new mythology animated films through a documentary research method, and points out that Chinese new mythology animated films can only be better developed if they take into account the nation-al culture and the characteristics of the times. That is, on the basis of preserving the tradi-tional group memory of the nation, creative adaptations are made using a modern vision to gain contemporary popular recognition. The author believes that valuing the uniqueness and value of China's new mythological films in the construction of national cultural awareness will lead to more masterpieces in the future, contributing to the development of the Chinese film industry and even the world's animated films.
