中西方文化映射下的龙的变异

On the Variation of Dragons under Chinese and Western Cultures

通过对两部电影《驯龙高手2》和《侏罗纪世界》的解读,发现固有的西方龙的形象已发生变异,由原来的邪恶凶残变成温顺可爱的形象。究其原因是中国经济的发展和文化的影响,西方人为了使自己的文化产品——电影能够卖座,迎合中国人的"胃口"而改变龙的形象。结论:中国要大力发扬本国的文化软实力,从而影响世界,才能真正大国崛起。

By interpreting the two films ＂How to Train Your Dragon 2＂ and ＂Jurassic World＂, it is found that the fixed image of Western dragons has changed from the previous wicked and savage image to docile and lovely image. The reason of the change is China＇s economic development and cultural influence. To make their films, a kind of cultural product, sell well, Westerners cater to Chinese ＂taste＂ and change the image of dragons. Conclusion： China should vigorously develop her cultural soft power, so as to influence the world and become a real great nation.
