《弓箭手们》绿色度测评报告

China's animated hit Ne Zha 2 has not only mesmerized audiences at home but has also captivated viewers worldwide.

Thomas William Whyke, assistant professor with an expertise in culture and communication ? at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, said that the film is infused with numerous cultural signifiers that enrich its narrative and visually captivate its audience.

For example, the inclusion of Han Chinese clothing immediately grounds the story in traditional heritage. Recreational pastimes such as jianzi, or the shuttlecock-kicking game, also make an appearance, resonating with age-old Chinese customs.

These cultural elements serve as powerful symbols of Chinese heritage. Moreover, they resonate deeply with the familiar concept of cultivation—an ancient notion centered on self-improvement and spiritual growth. This theme is not just a relic of the past but a reflection of contemporary society's values. The pursuit of personal growth, social mobility, and self-improvement are universal aspirations, making the film's themes both timeless and distinctly modern.

"These are the Chinese elements but they're able to say something about contemporary society," said Whyke.
