A Comparative Study on the Cultural Transmission of Music Narration in Chinese and Korean Animated Films

Abstract

By comparing Chinese and Korean animated films, this study expounds the cultural transmission of music narration in Chinese and Korean animated films, and reveals how music, as an important medium, expresses and transmits the cultural characteristics of each country in animation production. The study found that the music of Chinese animated films usually pays attention to the reproduction of historical depth and tradition, emphasizing the classical and emotional depth of the story, and the musical style is often closely connected with Chinese literary and philosophical traditions, showing poetry and symbolism. In contrast, the music of Korean animation emphasizes the integration of modernity and tradition, which reflects Korea's modern interpretation of local culture in the context of globalization, and tends to use a direct and modern musical style, reflecting the rapid change of Korean culture and the attitude of opening up to the outside world. The study emphasizes the central role of music in cross-cultural communication and animation art, and provides a new perspective on the application of animation music narrative strategies in global cultural communication.
