Zhang Henshui in the history of Chinese film criticism
Based on the film theory and film history to examine Chinese film criticism has become an important component of rewriting film history.Although the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School holds an important position in the history of film criticism,the current research mainly focuses on representative figures such as Zhou Shoujuan in Shanghai,while there is relatively little research on representative figures such as Zhang Henshui in Beijing.In order to avoid the narrow limitation of film criticism history within the scope of"Shanghai Film Criticism History",it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on Zhang Henshui's film criticism.Zhang Henshui,a well-known popular literary writer,has garnered at-tention in current research not only for his literary works but also for the influence of film narrative modes and editing techniques on his novel writing.However,there is limited focus on his contributions to film criticism.Analysis of his film criticism reveals that he is not an outsider to the world of cinema.Instead,he possesses profound insights into the societal functions,artistic expressions,technical production,and market strategies associated with filmmaking.Zhang Henshui's film criticism is an integral part of the Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies School of film criticism.However,there are nota-ble differences in terms of thinking,perspective,and consciousness when compared to the Mandarin Ducks and Butter-flies School in Shanghai.These variations in the cinematic ideologies of the two schools underscore the fact that early Chi-nese cinema was not solely influenced by a single school of thought.On the contrary,it emerged as a diverse,symbiotic,and flourishing ecosystem shaped by the mutual balance and influence of different viewpoints and aesthetic standards.An-alyzing Zhang Henshui's film criticism contributes to breaking away from the traditional framework centered around Shanghai in the writing of Chinese film history.This,in turn,allows for a reevaluation of the cultural value of the Manda-rin Ducks and Butterflies School film criticism from a regional perspective beyond Shanghai.Such an approach provides evidence for the reexamination and rewriting of the history of Chinese film-criticism.
