Chinese Animation

 

 

2022 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese animation, and the new animation industry in Chengdu is also booming. Thousands of animation companies have spawned a series of phenomenal virtual images.

 

Most Chinese animations combine myths and legends, the traditional spirit of pursuing truth and goodness, and the ingenious use of ink painting, puppet shows, shadow play and paper-cutting.
