Analysis of Traditional Elements in China's Ghost Films

The reason why ghosts in modern horror movies take children and women as their main images may be influenced by many factors:

1. Audience's emotional buzz: Children and women are relatively weak groups in society, which are more likely to arouse the audience's emotional buzz and attention. Film producers may want to arouse the audience by choosing these images and let the audience participate more in the plot of horror movies.

2. Cultural image and tradition: In some cultural traditions, children and women are considered to be more likely to contact supernatural and supernatural ghosts. These cultural images and traditions may affect filmmakers' choice of ghost images.

3. Emotional tension and social problems: By taking children and women as the main ghost images, filmmakers can create more emotional tension and social problems, such as family relations, parent-child relations, gender roles and so on. These themes may attract the audience's emotions and discussions, and provide more profound plot development.

It should be pointed out that the choice of theme and image of horror movies is not fixed, but will change with the change of time and cultural environment. In fact, modern horror movies also have many plots featuring male characters. Choosing different roles can provide more diversity and creativity.

Most importantly, the audience's choices and preferences for horror movies vary from person to person. Everyone's sensitivity and preference for horror elements are different, so when watching movies, we should respect personal choice and comfort.
