When the opening theme of the anime hit 230 million views on Bilibili, this cultivation anime adapted from the novel of the same name by author Er Gen is setting off a new wave in the Chinese anime field. Different from, which tells a story of a commoner's counter - attack, the cultivation world constructed in is a philosophical maze about “Going with the flow makes one ordinary; going against it makes one a celestial being”. The animation production team, with top - notch production that burns millions per second, has pioneered a new paradigm of Eastern cultivation aesthetics in the field of 3D animation. The Dimensional Leap of Cultivation Narrative The visual translation of the original text in the anime is amazing. When Wang Lin was practicing in the Hengyue Sect, the production team used particle effects to construct the trajectory of spiritual energy flow, transforming the originally abstract text description into a visual energy map. When the protagonist uses the “Extinction Finger”, the ink - style shockwaves bloom layer by layer in the 3D space. This visual deconstruction of cultivation skills gives traditional Xianxia (仙侠) elements a cyber - punk future sense. In terms of character creation, the…

A Will Eternal builds a grand and wonderful xianxia world with its gripping plot.

His growth is full of twists and turns, which makes us feel as if we're experiencing joys and sorrows alongside him.

He's not a perfect hero in the traditional sense but has his own little flaws and thoughts, making him as amiable as a friend around us. Other characters are also distinctive, with their personalities, motives, and actions reasonably developed, which makes the relationships in the story complex and full of tension. Moreover, the visual effects of the series are amazing. The beautiful xianxia scenes and…

This guide highlights the most anticipated Xianxia anime of 2025. Dive into epic tales of celestial battles, mortal struggles, and philosophical depth, all while immersing yourself in China's historical and mythological heritage.

The Overseas Strife installment takes the story beyond the familiar sect conflicts and into uncharted maritime territories, where Han Li faces foreign cultivators, demonic sea creatures, and ancient island ruins hiding lost techniques. As an ordinary man relying on intellect rather than destiny, Han Li's journey encapsulates the enduring appeal of the underdog—a mortal striving for ascension in a world dominated by celestial elites.

​A Digital Muse Comes to Life In the ever-expanding universe of Honor of Kings (王者荣耀), few characters command as much devotion as Xi Shi. With her ethereal design and strategic gameplay appeal, she’s become a cultural icon—both in-game and IRL. But recently, a cosplayer’s jaw-dropping reinterpretation of Xi Shi’s Poetry Rain Over Jiangnan（诗雨江南）skin has blurred the lines between pixels and reality, sparking debates about artistry, fandom, and the power of China-chic（国潮）. ​The Skin That Started a Frenzy Xi Shi’s Poetry Rain Over Jiangnan skin reimagines the mage-hero in Republican-era China aesthetics: a qipao（旗袍）in muted jade, a white lotus cradled delicately in hand, and hairpins echoing 1920s Shanghai（上海）. It’s a nostalgic yet fresh take—one that cosplayer @LingXiaolu_ replicated with surgical precision. Her viral photoshoot nails every detail: The qipao’s embroidered cloud patterns, hand-stitched to mirror in-game textures A custom wig dyed to match the skin’s gradient ash-brown tones A lotus prop crafted from resin and silk, glowing under UV light for that “spellcasting” effect But accuracy alone didn’t break the internet. ​The Unreplicable X-Factor What catapulted @LingXiaolu_’s cosplay into the stratosphere was her uncanny embodiment of Xi Shi’s essence. Fans noted how her features—almond-shaped eyes, a porcelain complexion, and lips curved like classical ink paintings—mirrored the…

The box office triumph of Ne Zha 2 is no longer just about cinema. The film has ignited a commercial frenzy, proving that China’s cultural IPs can rival global giants like Marvel or Disney. With over 20 brands racing to collaborate and licensing fees doubling overnight, this animated sequel has rewritten the rules of IP monetization in China—and the world is taking notice. ​A New Era for Chinese IPs When Ne Zha 2 stormed global box office charts, it didn’t just break records—it shattered ceilings. The film’s IP licensing fees skyrocketed from 700,000 to 1.25 million, yet brands still clamored for partnerships. From dairy giant Mengniu to pop-culture powerhouse Pop Mart, collaborations spanned industries: themed milk cartons sold 12 million units in 10 days, while limited-edition blind boxes sold out within seconds, later reselling at 10x their original price. Analysts at Kaiyuan Securities estimate the IP’s 衍生品 (derivative products) revenue could hit 1.5–2.1 billion, with the franchise’s total commercial value reaching 4.2–4.9 billion. This isn’t just about toys or T-shirts; it’s about a cultural reset. As one industry expert noted, “Ne Zha is China’s first true super IP—transcending age, industry, and borders”. Bridging East and West The film’s global success…

As one of Chinese mythology's most iconic figures, Ne Zha—the fearless boy deity wielding a Fire-tipped Spear and Cosmic Ring—has transcended centuries through folklore, literature, and modern media. Beyond today's cinematic adaptations, Guangzhou's museums safeguard a treasure trove of artifacts that reveal how this cultural icon captivated imaginations long before the age of blockbusters. From ancient porcelain to architectural masterpieces, Ne Zha's legacy intertwines with Guangzhou's history as a hub of art, trade, and storytelling. Let's explore his enduring presence across the city's collections. Ne Zha Sails Overseas During the 18th and 19th centuries, Guangzhou's bustling port fueled a golden age of ceramic exports. Among these treasures, a Qing Dynasty Fencai (粉彩) "Investiture of the Gods" (封神演义) vase at the Guangzhou Museum stands out. Painted with vivid scenes from the Ming-era epic, the vase immortalizes Ne Zha's battle against the Dragon King—a tale later popularized by modern films. This artifact underscores how Guangzhou's artisans transformed literary classics into globally traded art. Export porcelain of this era often featured narratives from Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West, but Ne Zha's inclusion highlights his timeless resonance. Centuries before animation studios reimagined him, his legend traveled to Europe and…

In early 2025, the animated film Ne Zha 2 (哪吒2) stormed into theaters, shattering box office records and captivating audiences worldwide. Not only did it become the highest-grossing film in Chinese cinema history, surpassing even Star Wars: The Force Awakens in single-market earnings, but it also marked a historic milestone as the first Asian film to break into the global top 30 box office rankings. With an impressive 87.3 score on China’s Film Audience Satisfaction Survey, an 8.5 on Douban, and an 8.3 on IMDb, the film has cemented its place as a cultural and commercial triumph. But what makes Ne Zha 2 so special? Beyond its perfect timing during the Lunar New Year holiday and the enduring popularity of the Ne Zha IP, the film’s success lies in its masterful storytelling, cutting-edge animation, and deep cultural resonance. A Modern Twist on a Myth Ne Zha, a beloved figure in Chinese mythology, has been reimagined countless times across literature, theater, and film. From the mischievous child deity in Havoc in Heaven (大闹天宫) to the tragic hero in Ne Zha Conquers the Dragon King (哪吒闹海), each iteration has emphasized his rebellious spirit and supernatural prowess. However, Ne Zha 2 takes a…

In the rich tapestry of Chinese mythology, few figures are as iconic as Ne Zha (哪吒), the rebellious child deity known for his fiery spirit and supernatural abilities. Central to his legend is his unique origin: crafted from lotus roots and leaves, Ne Zha’s very being is intertwined with the lotus plant. But what about his legendary attire, the so-called "lotus robe" (荷衣)? This article delves into the origins, symbolism, and evolution of this mythical garment, tracing its journey from ancient texts to modern interpretations. The Origins of Ne Zha’s Lotus Robe Ne Zha’s connection to the lotus is deeply rooted in Chinese literature. In Investiture of the Gods (封神演义), one of China’s great mythological novels, Ne Zha is resurrected using lotus stems and leaves after his tragic death. The text describes how the deity Taiyi Zhenren (太乙真人) fashioned Ne Zha’s body from “two lotus flowers and three lotus leaves,” with the stems forming his bones and the petals his flesh. Similarly, Journey to the West (西游记) refers to Ne Zha as having a “body of jade lotus roots and clothes of lotus leaves.” This imagery is not merely decorative; it carries profound symbolic weight. The lotus, revered in Chinese…

For a generation raised on the sleek aesthetics of 2D hand-drawn and 3D CGI animation, stop-motion might seem like an antiquated relic of the past. Unlike its counterparts, stop-motion is built on tangible artistry: puppets, clay figures, and mixed materials manipulated frame by painstaking frame. The result? A distinctive, textured realism unmatched by digital techniques. In China, the legacy of stop-motion animation once flourished with studios like Shanghai Animation Film Studio producing classics such as Magic Brush Ma Liang (神笔马良) and The Story of Avanti (阿凡提的故事). However, since the rise of CGI in the 1980s, stop-motion animation has become a niche art form globally, celebrated only by enthusiasts or explored in experimental shorts. Breaking this lull, Tencent Video’s Lantern Blade (灯笼刀) reintroduces audiences to the magic of stop-motion animation, this time through a gritty, action-packed lens. Adapting the cult-favorite comic of the same name, Lantern Blade blends martial arts, cosmic horror, and Western-esque atmospheres into a striking 67-minute trilogy. A Blade that Glows in the Dark Lantern Blade opens in a shadowy, mythical world steeped in Lovecraftian lore. The story revolves around an enigmatic warrior named Lantern Blade, whose titular weapon, a lantern-clad sword, glows in the presence of undead…

The Intricacies of Visual Design and Symbolism The 3D animated series The Island of Siliang (眷思量) has captured the attention of audiences not only with its compelling storyline but also through its meticulous attention to visual details, bringing to life an intricate world steeped in fantasy and ancient aesthetics. Its characters' costumes, architecture, and environments all blend traditional Chinese art forms with modern animation techniques, creating an immersive and beautiful spectacle that stands out in a genre often dominated by action-packed, fast-paced narratives. At the heart of the visual appeal is the stunning use of gongbi (工笔) painting styles in the characters' costumes, where each delicate fold and vibrant color reflects the character's inner world. The animation's distinct aesthetic feels like a dreamlike blend of historical fantasy and realism, where the costumes are not just clothes, but living expressions of the characters’ personalities and emotions. The feminine elegance of the character Tuli (屠丽), who is often draped in soft pink hues, communicates her warmth and purity, while the vibrant colors and flowing patterns of other characters enhance their dynamic qualities. In addition to the visual allure of the costumes, the world-building of The Island of Siliang introduces a social structure…

A Bold New Frontier in Animation and Ecology As the first domestic animated film to tackle the theme of the Yangtze River’s unique ecosystem, The Dance With the Finless Promise (江豚·风时舞) boldly ventures into a relatively untouched genre. Its main character, the Yangtze River dolphin, shines a light on China’s endangered aquatic wildlife and broader environmental concerns. Despite the technical and storytelling challenges of portraying aquatic life, this film attempts to immerse viewers in an underrepresented realm of nature that is both visually complex and emotionally delicate. While animal-themed films have long enchanted audiences worldwide, they mostly center on terrestrial animals. Films about underwater creatures remain rare, often limited by technical constraints, the challenge of capturing aquatic behavior, and viewers' limited emotional connection to marine animals. These factors set The Dance With the Finless Promise apart, as it ambitiously combines an artistic portrayal of an endangered species with the practical goals of raising awareness about ecological preservation. Creating a realistic underwater world poses significant technical challenges. Underwater scenes demand specialized equipment and expertise, such as high-quality underwater cameras, lighting adjustments for variable water conditions, and the need to replicate water’s movement realistically. The high production costs and complex requirements for…

The Origin and Journey of "Alchemy of a Hundred Millennia" Originating from the prolific writer "Spoon" on the Himalaya Miracle Literature platform, "Alchemy of a Hundred Millennia" narrates the story of Xu Yang, a disciple of Tianlan Sect, who emerges from a hundred thousand years of seclusion to face the sect's crisis and lead them to overturn their fate.

In 2023, the animated adaptation, jointly produced by Shanghai Tencent Penguin Film Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Suoyi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., premiered exclusively on Tencent Video. Its debut week saw…

On July 9th, the Shanghai premiere of the animated film "Falling into the Dust" (落凡尘) at SHO Shanghai Cinema stirred excitement among viewers and critics alike.

Could "Falling into the Dust" mark the beginning of another five-year era for Chinese animation? Drawing inspiration from the folk legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, "Falling into the Dust" tells the story of Jin Feng, a descendant of the Weaver Girl, who descends to earth to tame constellations in a bid to atone for her mother's sins. Unexpectedly, she allies with Xiao Fan, a young girl determined to ascend to the heavenly realm in search of her mother. This narrative not only breathes new life into mythological themes but also integrates modern elements such as bubble tea and hotpot restaurants into traditional town aesthetics, injecting humor and relatability into the storyline. Director Zhong Ding, an associate professor at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, transformed the film from its origins as a graduate design project into a full-length feature with the help of Bilibili,…

In the bustling world of animation, where creativity meets technical prowess, few stories rival the journey of "The Dust of the World" (落凡尘). Born from the collaboration between students and industry veterans, this epic animated film has transcended expectations and solidified its place as a beacon of Guangdong's burgeoning animation industry. From Humble Origins to National Phenomenon "The Dust of the World" began its life as a humble student project at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Conceived by Professor Zhong Ding (钟鼎) and his team of students, the initial spark came during a brainstorming session where they sought a fresh narrative amidst the backdrop of established mythologies. Their choice fell upon the descendants of the legendary cowherd and weaver girl, exploring uncharted territory in Chinese folklore. The project's early success as a short film on Bilibili catapulted it into the limelight, amassing millions of views and sparking widespread acclaim. It wasn't long before industry giants like Alibaba and Bilibili recognized its potential, joining forces with Yongsheng Animation to scale up this ambitious endeavor into a full-length feature film.

The release of the animated film "Fallen from the Heaven" (落凡尘) on July 12 coincided with Universal Pictures' "Despicable Me 4" (神偷奶爸 4), marking the beginning of the summer box office battle. Despite the dominance of "Silent Killer" in the box office, "Fallen from the Heaven" struggled with a mere 5.3% screen share. Amidst market expectations for "Claw Doll" to invigorate the summer box office, the consensus was that animated films would face stiff competition. However, the creators of "Fallen from the Heaven" persevered, refusing to withdraw or compromise amid the current challenges. Continuing the Myth: Beyond Romance, Embracing Family Bonds The tale of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, a familiar narrative to Chinese audiences, traditionally focuses on romance between a celestial and a mortal. "Fallen from the Heaven" shifts this focus onto the neglected characters in the story—their two children, left behind as their mother returns to the heavens and their father remains on earth. The son, Jin Feng, strives to redeem his mother's mistake by capturing the twenty-eight constellations, while the daughter, Xiao Fan, grows up orphaned, yearning to reunite with her mother in the celestial realm. This narrative departure from traditional mythology not only enriches the story with familial…

For Team Ninja, an open world may not be a necessary condition to achieve ultimate mastery, but it is an inevitable path they must tread. When the trailers for "Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty" and "Rise of the Ronin" appeared simultaneously at a conference, many were confused, not understanding why Team Ninja would produce two similar games in the same period. It wasn't until later, when it was revealed that "Rise of the Ronin" would be an open-world game, that people had their "aha" moment. After experiencing the game, I deeply felt the ambition contained in Team Ninja's open-world debut. However, this belated ambition, like the decision-makers in their story who find themselves in a great era, inevitably comes with regrets and compromises. If we compare Team Ninja's recent works, we can say that "Wo Long" inherited the mantle of the "Nioh" series, while "Rise of the Ronin" took a reverse path from "Nioh". This reverse path presupposes the use of the same secret techniques. And this source of all techniques, tightly held by Team Ninja, is their proud action gameplay foundation developed over many years. For players who have experienced works like "Nioh" and "Wo Long", getting into "Rise of…

Winsing Animation (咏声动漫), a prominent animation studio from Guangdong, has been making waves at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival! This year, they showcased their new Chinese animation "Into The Mortal World" (落凡尘)， hoping to spark more collaborations with global animation enthusiasts and promote Chinese animation internationally. Yan Bing, Vice President of Winsing Animation, excitedly said, "Our works are the best interpretation of Chinese stories!"
