Why does Guo Man's archetypal story come from ancient myths and legends in China?

Recently, many cartoons created by China himself have been released. Whether it is the return of the Great Sage or the Great Guardian, or the recent upsurge in Nezha, every step has made the audience see the hope of chinese comic. We can easily find that the prototype of this cartoon is based on the traditional fairy tales in China.

Why is this?

First, now is the era of big IP. TV movies are keen to buy works with fan base from various novel websites and adapt these works into TV series.

Therefore, when animation changes, it will also tend to adapt familiar fairy tales, because these fairy tales already have certain fans, and the adapted works can easily be understood and supported by these fans.

Second, people now advocate a culture of self-confidence. There are many historical myths and stories about China. Any character can be a superhero or something. People also want to see these mythical figures that should have been written in books and vividly displayed on the big screen.

Third, the imagination of the ancients was very rich and left us a rich legacy. Now people just need to bring them here intact.

Even the Japanese like to adapt some fairy tales from China, and use China's myth system to show that these characters are very popular wherever they are.

So we have many fairy tales and mythical characters that can be constantly adapted. These are the legacies left by our ancestors.

We are making them now, which is also a development and inheritance of our traditional culture, so that more people can know our story.
