Abstract
The development of Chinese movies shows that their general artistic aim is to reflect reality, punish evil-doers and reward good people. The participants in the making of the social ethic movie combined elements of progressive history with the pursuit of the ethical expression of emotion. The dramatic structure of the narration and the classical characters, notable for their moral integrity, were all popular elements of these films. These traditional aspects were inherited and developed by Zheng Zhenqiu, Cai Chusheng, and Xie Jin. Movie directors have continued to use these traditional elements into the 1980s, except during the Cultural Revolution when they were under political attack. Their pursuit of increasing refinement and popular appeal remain a significant source for the current Chinese movies.
