Abstract

In the work of Chasing Light Animation, "White Snake 2 - Green Snake Rising", there are very rich typical symbols, which are inextricably related to Chinese traditional culture. At the same time, the director has ulterior motives to express some symbols in specific texts, which will have deeper meanings. Therefore, based on these typical symbols, this paper will analyze the meanings that these symbols refer to in specific texts and the Chinese cultural connotations behind them.
