摘要

This paper first analyzes the relationship between animation and modernity, which pointed out that animation is the product of modernity. Then by analyzing the role of modernity in the various stages of the evolution of Chinese aesthetics, it is revealed that the aesthetic concept of Chinese animation has always been under the tear of the local nationalization and Westernization. The deliberate utilitarianism of nationalization and total Westernization are opposed to each other. This is the multiple tensions of aesthetic modernity and a node that cannot be bypassed in the process of Chinese animation modernization. It is also the dynamism and vitality of Chinese animation that drives China and the animation to explore the modern road.
