Abstract

The development of Chinese-inspired animation cannot be achieved without drawing on outstanding traditional art, and Dunhuang frescoes are a representative example of outstanding traditional Chinese painting. In this article, we take the classic Chinese animation film ‘The Nine-Coloured Deer’, which is based on a Dunhuang mural, as the main subject, and analyse and extend it through a desktop study. The essay is based on three core points: the outer artistic representation, the inner cultural core, and the future development of the subject of analysis. These are: the inheritance and innovation of the fresco modeling art by the Nine-Coloured Deer; The unique oriental flavour of the religious image of the deer in the comparative perspective of East and West; In the midst of the digitalisation and consumerism boom the ‘Nine-Coloured Deer’ has broken away from the traditional fresco entity to become a visual symbol that is rapidly spreading and circulating in the economic and cultural spheres after the halo has faded.
