It has been 100 years since the first Chinese animated work created.The animators living a century ago probably had never imagined that Chinese animation could advance as rapidly as it is today.Since the industry's start, China's traditional culture has provided the nutrition the industry has needed to grow.Looking back over the past 100 years, we can discover many characters who were inspired by China's rich cultural heritage like the Monkey King and Po the Kung Fu Panda.
Back in 1922, an only one-minute-long animated advertising short for the Shu Zhendong Huawen Daziji made its debut.The work used primitive techniques, but became the forerunner of Chinese animation.Over the following decades, more popular Chinese folk stories were adapted into animated films by Chinese animators.
Chinese Generation Z tend to follow cultural traditions and fall in love with ethnic styles, and many find domestic animated series based on Chinese mythology and folklore more interesting than other genres.
The works of Shanghai Animation Film Studio are some outstanding examples of this.The studio established different styles based on folk stories, including water-and-ink animation, paper-cutting animation and puppetry animation.The classic works the studio produced stunned the world and inspired numerous animators overseas, especially in Japan.Japanese animator Osamu Tezuka once said he tasted a great deal from China's water-and-ink animation.
More and more Chinese animated works have been entering overseas markets, expanding the influence of Chinese culture.According to related data, the total output value of China's animation industry surpassed $29.9 billion in 2020.Additionally, major Chinese streaming platforms aired over 60 animated series during the second half of 2021.
Chinese studios have also begun tapping into the huge demand for diverse cultural content on international streaming platforms.For example, the international streaming service Netflix bought the overseas broadcasting rights for the Chinese traditional animated series Scissor Seven and other Chinese animation works.
