The Chinese Culture in the Film "Kung Fu Panda"


In "Kung Fu Panda", the directors show the Chinese traditional ethics in this film. We can see that martial ethics, formed in such Chinese cultural environment, which has become a distinct feature of Kung Fu and is the essential part of the study and understanding of Chinese martial arts.

At first, Panda Po just a lazy guy who loves Kung Fu very much, to become the master of Kung Fu need him to work hard to learn Kung Fu. In the end, a lay guy turns into the dragon warrior; there shouldn't be lack of one's persistence and perseverance. The one who realizes the meanings martial ethics can be a great master.

In this film, the bad guy Tai Lang is brought up by Shi fu who is both father and teacher of him. For Shi fu's lavish too much care on him which makes Tai Lang becomes selfish and jealous. There is another old saying: "To feed without teaching, is the father's fault; to teach without severity, is the teacher's laziness." For Shi fu's too proud on Tai Lang, it makes Tai Lang become blind of his life. Shi fu has too much expects on Tai Lang that makes Tai Lang become a dangerous guy to the Peace Valley.

Shi fu is just like Chinese parents who put all their love on their children without correct guiding which destroy their children' s future in one way. Here comes the last saying: "Sometimes you have to pay for your mistakes." For Shi fu dotes on Tai Lang, it make him becomes the enemy of Peace Valley, Shi fu needs to destroy him all by himself. However, how could a father bear to destroy his child? All of these views have been expressed vividly by the westerners, even we Chinese audience agree with their express of Chinese culture. They express Chinese culture in typical Chinese way.

From the philosophical connotation of "Kung Fu panda", we can draw the conclusion that foreigners know our Chinese philosophy deeper than before, they even use Yin and Yang to show it's the origin of Kung Fu of Chinese culture and expresses it in their film. It is such a great step that foreigners' learning of Chinese culture.

"Kung Fu Panda" - The Transmitter of Chinese Culture


"Kung Fu Panda" which is filled with Chinese culture and Chinese elements travels throughout the world and use its Chinese elements to become popular among the world. From another aspect, it performs the role of the transmitter of Chinese culture and elements.

From the analysis above, many people will have such kind of feeling, the Chinese elements expressed in this film are the common things we often meet in our daily lives, the Chinese culture it shows is known to every Chinese people. But, how can these things which are originally ours are labeled with Hollywood brand and spread successfully throughout the world and welcomed received by all the people? "Kung Fu Panda" becomes successful, however, what lessons we can draw from this film?

When enjoying "Kung Fu Panda", I believe that most audience will have the illusion that this animation is made by Chinese directors, for the Chinese elements expressed in this film make Chinese people feel it is close to our daily lives and we even can't find an air of clumsy provincial imitation in this film. From there, we can see the foreigners have prepared a lot in the production of this film. According to understanding, the directors of "Kung Fu Panda" is nuts about the culture of China.

It takes him about ten years to research on the culture of China. Meanwhile, this film takes those five years to finish. During their five years, they come to live in China for a few days, and go to Li Jiang and Guilin these places of interest for a visit. They also have a study on so many Hong Kong made sword-play films in the period of 1970s to 1980s. These prepare and efforts reflect the producers obtain the quality of the rigorous attitude to learn Chinese culture and scientific methods to produce the film.

Comparing with the foreign directors, Chinese directors' speed of directing film seems more "instant" than the foreign directors. The block buster made in China need one or two years to finish. They all hold the view to promote Chinese culture and bring some Chinese traditional plays which is known to everyone for them to direct.
