Chinese animation: from shadow puppets to 3D films
Chinese animation has a history of more than 100 years. This art form combines modern technology with traditional art techniques, such as paper-cutting, shadow puppet performances and ink-wash painting. Films in this style often contain many themes from Chinese art, literature and culture.
Pigsy Eats Watermelon from 1958 was the first paper-cut animation. In this ground- breaking short film, Zhu Bajie and the other characters come to life on screen just like shadow puppets. The film amazed audiences across China with its bright colours and lively animation style.
Reading
Two years later, another important breakthrough came with the first ink-wash animated film, Baby Tadpoles Look for Their Mother. This short film was influenced by the famous artist Qi Baishi, and it looks exactly like a traditional ink painting. The film was very successful, and won several national and international awards.
Besides traditional art techniques, Chinese animated films also reflect traditional Chinese culture. Ancient stories are a common theme, and it is no surprise that the much-loved characters from the adventure novel Journey to the West often appear in animation. Havoc in Heaven from 1961 tells the story of the Monkey King, and is perhaps the most famous Chinese animated film. It combines traditional Chinese painting techniques with the sound effects from Beijing opera.
Today, Chinese animators continue to explore new methods of film-making. Films like Monkey King: Hero is Back were made with advanced 3D animation software. With the help of the latest computer technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), film-makers are bringing the heroes from classic Chinese stories into the 21st century.

(Possible answers)
The future of Chinese animation is not about choosing between traditional art techniques and modern technology. It is about using them both. Animators can use tools like AI and VR to retell classic Chinese stories. This will make the films realistic and exciting. It is also a great way to share Chinese culture with the rest of the world.
