An Analysis of the Concept of Genre in Early Chinese Films:Centered on the"Theory of Film and Drama"
"Film genre"is a unique perspective for the study of early Chinese cinema,which not only advo-cates the return of the film ontology,but also advocates the perspective of the essence of film art.Early Chi-nese film genres were mainly fictional and documentary,mainly a genre-level understanding of film genres,which laid the foundation of the embryonic Chinese film genres and,at the same time,showed the conceptu-al mixing of genres and styles,themes and genres.In-depth investigation centered on the"theory of film and drama",the early concept of Chinese film genre not only contained the exploration of film ontology and artistic personality at the level of aesthetics of form,but also embodied the traditional national aesthetic thought of integrating art and real life,which can deepen the understanding of early Chinese film as a"na-tional art".
