The Design of Setting in the Film "Kung Fu Panda"


From the content of this film, we can also see that it possesses a lot of Chinese elements and culture. Therefore, when this film is popular with the world, it makes the meaningful Chinese elements and culture step into the world.

The setting in "Kung Fu Panda" is rich in Chinese brush drawing style. The scenery is fresh feeling. All of the hills and waters, and buildings are typical Chinese style. The most important shots "Jade Palace" and "Peace Valley" are the two typical scenery of Chinese style. The design of Jade Palace, with red walls and green tiles, recovers the traditional classic style. The Peace Valley, with green hills and clear waters, is similar to Wu dang Mount, where a group of Kung Fu masters are living. The design of setting has also taken the Li Jiang Valley and Guilin landscape tops into consideration, traditionally and elegantly.

The pictures in this film not only show the elegant mountains and rivers but also the life of the ordinary people in ancient times.

The various tools in daily life which possess Chinese elements can be seen everywhere in this film. The passed-down noodle shop, the wheelbarrows which are often seen in Northern part of China, the sedan chair which is lifted by four people, the Chinese family properties, such as, chopsticks, blue glazed china wares, bamboo hats, scrolls, rolling pins, pastry boards, Chinese traditional cloth, firecrackers and fireworks, and the acupuncture treatment which the mantis uses to cure Po.

There are also the typical Chinese foods, for example, the dumplings, Bao zi and steamed bread and so on. Those details give a vivid picture of Chinese culture. From this aspect we can see that the directors have made great efforts to research Chinese culture so that they can express Chinese elements and culture in this film and also make the audience enjoy it.

In a word, the success of Kung Fu Panda makes every one of us should have a second thought of how should we transmit our culture to the foreign countries, and Chinese unique culture should be promoted and strengthened not only by the foreigners but also by ourselves.
