The Evolution,Formation Mechanism,and AI Reshaping of the Imagery Community in Chinese Animated Films
The development of the imagery community in Chinese animated films has gone through four distinct periods:early ex-ploration,the Chinese school,transitional exploration,and the new national tide.Upholding the historical inheritance and environmental shaping of traditional Chinese culture,creators continually innovate in visual styling,narrative content,and philosophical implications.By leveraging new technologies,they facilitate the re-inscription of traditional culture and contemporary spirit,thereby molding and dis-seminating a unique Chinese animation aesthetic.The widespread application of AI in the new era brings about the risks of creative hom-ogenization and aesthetic monotony,which requires a correct understanding and handling of the relationship between culture and tech-nology and avoiding the multiple impacts of the"intelligence gap".It is necessary for us to reshape the emotional,cultural,and spiritual imagery community of Chinese animation in the context of AI through consciously using the narrative expression,symbol transmission,and imagery integration.
