【正文】 ple during their darkest hour.It is not difficult to find that instead of applying the Chinese elements simply to filmmaking, the producers of Kung Fu Panda take some typical oriental philosophical themes, such as life, destiny, living and death into thorough consideration. The producers made great efforts to maximize the patibility of American values and Chinese traditional culture and minimize the conflicts. If what Mulan presents can be generalize as Chinese form and American theme, Kung Fu Panda is more like a bination of Chinese essence and American spirit.II the Compatibility of American Values and Chinese Elements The charactersThe title says it all with Mulan, a famous Chinese classic which tells a story about how an ordinary girl manages to be an honorable heroine. Since the plot background is set to be in ancient China, no wonder the characters closely resemble the Asian in terms of appearance. Besides those blackeyed, yellowskinned characters, there is also a little dragon which attracts much attention from the audience. Dragon used to be the symbol of Chinese royalty in feudal period. It stands for nobility, power and endless fortune. Even in today’s munist society, dragon continues to serve as the mascot of the Chinese nation. Even if Muxu( the name of the dragon) is nothing like the noble and fierce dragon which represents the temperament of the Chinese nation，the adorable little dragon successfully bring about laughter and make the whole film much interesting.The panda Po in Kung Fu Panda is another Chinese symbol which is probably even more popular than dragon in western world. While the dragon has historically served as China39。s national emblem, in recent decades the Giant Panda has also served as an emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese memorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.However, unlike a real blackeyed panda, the American panda Po has a pair of green eyes which resemble the Caucasian. In Kung Fu Panda Po is not a docile panda that everyone loves. On the contrary, he is chatty, obese, slothful, gluttonous, and has interpersonal relationship issue. Undoubtedly, the film aims to tell another typical “American Dream” story of how an extremely ordinary character manages to succeed in achieving a great acplishment. All these seem to be reminding the audience that, this is, after all, an animated film made in the United States. No matter how much Chineseness the producers have attached in the film, it is impossible to get rid of American spirit. Scenery, Architecture and other DetailsThe first scene of Mulan is when the invaders are about to invade China, the messenger takes the message to his mander. Here es the significant Chinese symbol—the Great Wall.The construction of the Great Wall started in the 7th century . when the vassal states under the Zhou Dynasty in the northern parts of the country built their own walls for selfdefense. After the states of Qin unified China in 221 ., the separate walls were interconnected and extended to more than 10000 miles. Constructed of masonry, rocks and packedearth, the Great Wall is landmark of the earth. The Great Wall has long been incorporated into Chinese mythology and popular symbolism. As a film whose background is set in ancient China, the Great Wall is certainly an indispensable element. Besides, there are many other Chinese architecture and decorations in film Mulan, such as drawbridge in the valley, tapestry hanging on the wall, festive red lanterns decorating the eaves. All these details give full expression to the oriental styles.Likewise, in Kung Fu Panda, the producers also add a bunch of Chinese images and even present them in a more exquisite way. Audience may find the flying petals, tortuous paths, distant pavilion and terrace are as picturesque as the scenery that is depicted in many Chinese ancient poetry. Moreover, the loanwords used in the movie make it more hilarious. By keeping the Mandarin pronunciation of words, such as “shifu” (master), “wugui” (turtle), “bingbong” (icecream), the producers shorten the distance between the Englishspeaking panda Po and Chinese people. Martial ArtsChinese martial arts have a long history, converging Chinese philosophy, medicine, military strategy, techniques, education, aesthetics, etc. and mirroring the character and sagac
