Chinese animated legends
融合了中國文化的國漫正在崛起！
When people think of animation, many automatically think about those that come from Japan or the Disney classics that they watched as children. Yet in recent years, China has been making efforts to establish itself on the global animation map. Many Chinese animations not only become mainstream, but also are reviewed highly and bring in large amounts at the box office.
談及動漫時，許多人都會不自覺地想到兒時看的日本或者迪士尼的經典動畫。而近年來，中國也努力在全球動漫行業中占據一席之地。許多中國動漫不光成為了主流，甚至票房口碑都取得了雙豐收。
For example, in 2016, the Chinese film Big Fish and Begonia brought in over 200 million yuan in just three days after its release. In 2019, the film Ne Zha opened with 100 million yuan in ticket sales and topped the mainland's ticket-revenue charts for four consecutive days. Recently, after the animation White Cat Legend was released on video-sharing platform Bilibili in April, it immediately became the top-rated Chinese-language TV drama on the review platform Douban, scoring 9.2 points out of 10.
比如，中國電影《大魚海棠》2016年上映時，首映三天票房就超過200萬元。2019年的電影《哪吒之魔童降世》預售票房突破一億元，并連續四天獲得單日票房冠軍。動畫《大理寺日志》在視頻分享平臺嗶哩嗶哩上線后，也很快成為了影評平臺豆瓣上的熱門華語劇作，獲得了9.2的高分（滿分10分）。
According to The Paper, the rise of Chinese animation is partly due to its Chinese culture-inspired content and fantastic visual effects.
據澎湃新聞報道，國漫崛起的部分原因在于其中華文化的故事內涵以及精美的視覺特效。
The TV drama White Cat Legend is set during the rule of Tang Dynasty Empress Wu Zetian. It tells the story of an official named Li Bing attempting to solve crimes with the appearance of a white cat. In order to make the show more attractive to audiences, the producers replicated the architecture and customs of the Tang Dynasty, including the bustling streets, merchants, clothing and utensils.
動漫《大理寺日志》的故事背景發生在唐朝武則天統治時期，講述了白貓少卿李餅的破案故事。為了讓節目更加吸引觀眾，創作者們還在劇中還原了唐朝的建筑風俗，如熙熙攘攘的街巷、商賈、服飾，以及器具等。
"The production and visual effect seem to bring us to Tang Dynasty", an internet user commented on Bilibili.
“制作和視覺特效似乎把我們都帶回到了唐朝，”一位網友在嗶哩嗶哩上如此評論道。
Similarly, Big Fish and Begonia is based on ancient Chinese legends and follows the grand adventure of a 16-year-old girl named Chun who lives in a magical world beyond the human realm. Using a mixture of 2D drawings and 3D animation, the film is aesthetically impressive. "It is visually dazzling and made very much in the Hayao Miyazaki mode, including an intrepid young heroine and the cultural specificity that characterizes works like the Oscar-winning Spirited Away," wrote Kenneth Turan, a film critic for the Los Angeles Times.
同樣，《大魚海棠》也改編自中國古代神話傳說，講述了16歲少女椿的宏大冒險，她居住在人類世界以外的魔幻世界之中。電影將二維繪畫與三維動畫結合起來，呈現了一場令人驚艷的美學盛宴。“電影的視覺效果令人陶醉，很有宮崎駿的風格，比如勇敢無畏的年輕的女主人公以及獨特的文化內涵都具有奧斯卡獲獎影片《千與千尋》的特點，”《洛杉磯時報》影評人肯尼斯·圖蘭如此寫道。
The excellent visual effects aren't the only thing that make these works stand out. The universal themes have also helped to extend the reach to millions of audiences worldwide.
出色的視效并不是這些優秀作品的唯一亮點。普世的主題也令這些作品走出國門，打動了全球數百萬觀眾。
Big Fish and Begonia teaches people about love and sacrifice, which is a lesson all people need to learn in their lives. In the animation Ne Zha, we can see a rebellious underdog who has to overcome hardship and his dark destiny to become a hero. The theme is about "the rebellious but righteous youth, which young people can relate to, encouraging them to become dream-chasers and fate-changers", noted China Daily.
《大魚海棠》教給人們愛與奉獻，這是所有人的一堂人生必修課。而在動畫《哪吒之魔童降世》中，我們看到一個被人瞧不起的叛逆者，歷經種種艱險，不懼坎坷宿命，最終才成為了一位英雄。電影主題就在于“叛逆卻又正直的青春，令年輕人感同身受，并激勵他們勇敢追夢，改變命運，”《中國日報》指出。
With more Chinese producers' effort on these aspects, the Chinese animations will be promising in the near future, noted The Paper.
隨著越來越多中國創作者在這些方面做出努力，中國動漫未來可期，澎湃新聞指出。
