In the historical evolution of domestic animated films, "Nationalization" has consistently been a prominent theme. Examining the historical context reveals a persistent impact of foreign animation on domestic animated films, and an intrinsic link between the evolution of domestic animation and a history of multicultural interactions. Preliminary Chinese animated cinema emerged from the emulation of traditional forms like Peking Opera, shadow play, and drama, alongside the exploration of technical principles from animated films in the United States, Japan, the Soviet Union, and other nations. This evolution persisted until the establishment of the nation. By the 1950s, Chinese animation had begun to develop its distinct system, coinciding with a flourishing of national culture within the animation industry. In the 1980s, Chinese animation faced the influence of established animation systems in multiple nations. After experiencing a dip, domestic animated films reemerged at the turn of the century, showcasing their distinctive Oriental appeal following a brief phase of confusion and discovery. The interplay between national and diverse cultures infuses domestic animated films with renewed vigor.
