An English composition about China's cartoon characters.

Animation is called cartoon and animation, which are different and closed, but the content behind modern animation is more extensive, including not only animation and cartoon, but also video game network, related entertainment and art, and various derivatives. Japan is the "animation kingdom" in the animation industry. As a direct result of Japanese culture, Japanese animation has a long history. Japanese animation appears in almost every corner of Japanese life, and Japanese animation culture has become a national culture. With the advance of globalization, Japanese animation, as a popular culture, is spreading and expanding all over the world. Japanese culture is a kind of multi-culture, and Japanese animation culture also presents the characteristics of multi-culture, which makes Japanese animation popular in the world. Japanese animation culture mainly has the following characteristics: First, openness. This feature of Japanese animation is that while their works are looking for themes in cultural accumulation, they can take the initiative to extract materials from the history and culture of other nationalities, further expand their horizons, and explore from Asian neighbors and even Europe, from exotic historical and cultural treasures, so that animation not only greatly expands its basic scope, but also endows new ideas with the original themes; Secondly, educational characteristics. Japanese animation works contain extensive education and knowledge, and various cultural elements are often embodied in the works in a non-straightforward, non-conceptual and non-didactic way. The audience is quietly educated through entertaining, and the animation works contain deeper levels and are endowed with more education. The third is a universal feature. Japanese animation attaches great importance to the integration of universal values in its theme and theme mining. In terms of the depth and breadth of the content, the acceptance of audiences of different ages is fully considered. The works of an animation master often have an unusual cultural background, and the animation works have extraordinary power. Of course, we must also realize that there is a negative consciousness in Japanese culture and Japanese animation-the consciousness of violence and expansion. In the abstract, human nature is such a consciousness, but in the concrete realization process, this consciousness is often a combination of national position and national politics, so it has the characteristics of the times and history. If the political status of this nation and country is in a state of tension and aggression, this consciousness will become very evil. Compared with the booming Japanese animation, the development of China animation is relatively stagnant for the following reasons: First, due to the lack of development of local animation culture and imagination, the theme tends to be conceptual, which makes it difficult to attract audiences, while imported animation works quickly occupy the domestic market with its high quality and diversified forms, attracting a large number of young people in China, which leads to the crisis of China animation; Secondly, China's animation works blindly imitate foreign countries in creative form, and the mistakes in packaging and positioning not only make China's animation lose its local characteristics, but also lead to the dislocation of commercialization; Thirdly, due to the neglect of the comprehensive application of various artistic means, the animation production means are backward, and it needs to be improved in dubbing, music and picture processing. In the end, there is a lack of exploration spirit to dig deep into China traditional culture and refine the materials, and there is a lack of flexibility and innovative consciousness when using these materials, which leads to a lack of animation content. In order to develop China animation, it is necessary to actively learn from foreign advanced concepts and technologies, and the cultural characteristics of Japanese animation works have brought a lot of enlightenment to the development of China animation: First, the aesthetic taste of animation works and its universal value are integrated. China should draw lessons from Japanese animation works, use the artistic visual effect of animation to integrate his works into the universal value theme, profound truth and realistic society, and improve the level of his works by creating; Secondly, the concept of animation production is combined with the audience's sense of market; Finally, we need to update the audience's traditional ideas, re-establish the audience's market position, avoid "changing" roles too much, and create interesting and entertaining works suitable for all ages; Third, the animation creation combining local characteristics with advanced technology. It is the only way for the development of animation works to learn from the traditional culture of China and constantly learn from the advanced technology in creative means, and organically integrate the two with China characteristics. To go global, China's animation must be based on its own cultural tradition, update its inherent concepts, adapt to the requirements of the times, further absorb the cultural elements and advanced technologies of other nationalities from the world, and promote the development of China's animation.
