중국 영상 콘텐츠에 나타난 메두사 이미지의 친연성과 수용

초록

The proportion of mythology as a creative material is very large. Materials that are accepted as a common heritage, not only the myths of their own countries but also the myths of other countries that have become common, are variably used in various places. This is a part that cultural content researchers should pay attention to in the era of global expansion of K-Contents. Medusa in Greek mythology often appears in Western images of scary heads, snake heads, sea monsters, suffering women, and hell monsters, and was given various meanings such as death, threat, rebellion, and greed in the process of transmission. This even affected the content market in East Asian cultures. Medusa's acceptance by Chinese readers is related to the understanding of Chinese culture's 蛇蠍美人(Beauty of snake and scorpion/Femme Fatale). The Chinese reader's sense of beauty, which can be understood through the motif of the mirror, developed Medusa into an image of a Female devil king. The existence of beauties and evil spirit played this role in 『The legend story of a White-Snake』 and 『The Dream Of Red Mansions』. Furthermore, Beauty and evil spirit switch to a good image. This is the influence of the Medusa myth on Chinese video works in many Medusa-related works in China. However, the animation 「GGBOND7」 and the animation 「Fights Break Firmament / Battle Through the Heaven」 have a regret that they have not achieved a meticulous genre change. It is produced almost ignoring the artistry of the character, and seems to be related to the recent trend of China's ‘feel-good drama’ culture.
