Article Abstract:
The filmic representation of Chinese folklore, also called as filmic folklore, which is an emerging body of folklore and deserves attention from both folkloristic studies and film studies is described. The emergence of the filmic folklore shows a historical and social need for reconstructing the cultural identities of China and the Chinese in an age of globalization, and of the Diaspora Chinese all over the world.
