10、aith,learning and sharing customs and values,through the recognition of human offspring.The heroism as an ideology,is a reflection of the core part of the culture,it is the concept of value.In modern society,Playing an increasingly important role in the Culture Communication of heroism。The dictionar

11、y explanation is,heroism,heroism is a spiritual act,and eternal,can be easily accomplished with an important task,courage and strength,it is composed of people who are good display quality,brave in the battle,eager to help others.However,different cultures have treatment and traditions of different,

12、They will have to because of the impact of cultural differences,different definitions of heroism。different heroic behavior.Lu Dourong Wang Xiu said,it is a kind of culture to create their own hero to keep its nature and inherent culture and protect its parts responsibility and goal.Very basic things

13、,is to evaluate heroism,the social value of the hero,but the difference is the different cultural judgment,people can become or what actions are named for the hero's heroic act.Chinese and Western cultures,based on their Values,to create their own heroes,this is one of the important role of tele

14、vision programs and movies,the most obvious manifestation of culture is interactive.In the Chinese culture and Western culture,there are some differences hero,there are some common features。This is a touching movie,let many people see the hero.Have the refuse to be cowed or submit spirit in Chinese

15、and Western culture hero,and general infinite courage and strong will.Careful comparison,the difference is not hard to find,is made of different Values and spirit.Chinese and Western culture,and from the Both films are the similarities and differences between similar heroism I Heroism in American Mo

16、vie And TV ProgramA.The Typical ImageTo research the typical hero image in American movies and TV programs,we collected a lot of US movies and TV Shows.After careful analysis,we found that works in film and television heroes have some of the following features.That is individualism,democratic spirit

17、,Salvation,and last but not least,they all have American dream and spirit1.IndividualismAmericans have a rare success through individual efforts.Their heroic,both white settlers westward expansion or America overseas soldiers,police and firefighters,generally have similar features:individualism.They

18、 are independent,self-confident,have a strong will,and ultimately achieve their goals,treasure their values.2.Democratic SpiritThe spirit of democracy,is a pursuit of freedom and equality spirit.This is America very seriously.The hero of the day is not too much politics and society,and they have the

19、 equal right to express their ideas and equal opportunity to succeed.In the so-called milk tablets,milk is U.S.history a gay rights activist and politician.He once said,"politics is not important,win or lose,as long as you make a statement,here I am,then they will get attention.He to gay people

20、 fight.So we can say America people must control their fate and cherish their own value equality of opportunity.The film provides a democratic spirit gives to us.3.Salvation By the influence of Puritanism,the spirit of salvation is the most popular America and valuable.Many Hollywood films,such as t

21、he day after tomorrow,water park,we can see,America people are worried about the future of the earth,we need new ways of thinking.As the only superpower,America never lost a chance to show concern and responsibility of the world.It regards itself as the hero,the Savior of the world.4.American Dream

22、and SpiritIn the early USA history,many immigrants choose to leave the old European society,because they think they have a better chance of success in America.Many people think that the self-made man height,because they have the spirit of struggle.Many civilians in the shape of a Hollywood hero,anyo

23、ne can become a hero like businessmen,lawyers,police,firemen,doctors.As long as they strive to continue to achieve the American Dream.1B.Reasons for The formation of The Image1.ChristianityThis is a more than one billion scattered throughout the western religion.In USA,it evolved into the puritanism

24、.The Christian consider that organized religion as a means of preaching God's message.In the novel the Red Badge of courage,many colloquial words,such as"God""God""my God"can be found.In their eyes,their Is it right?A single individual in isolation,God will take car

25、e of all the people.Important Western notions of the individual can link part of christianity.God,God saw,with everyone closely linked to hear,reward,punishment.Everyone is very important to him.Christian God is a personal God,who wishes that he has created a fantastic relationship.In culture,indivi

26、dualism advocates,Christianity is a perfect religion.We can easily see the impact of Christianity against American culture.The Christian faith,individuals are independent,so the Americans rely on themselves than the Chinese do.They believe that they can save himself and God's help.As a result,Ch

27、ristianity has an important role in the heroes and America cultural value.The first request for knights is that knights must be a Christian and believe in God.Christianism advocatesbelieve in God,obey the church,never do harmful things to churchs interest，and human are bora of guilt,and they should

28、suffer from the life so as to get into the paradise after they die.Wu Congming and Sun Chanjuan think that many doctrines from the Christianity,On the one hand,to guide the behavior of knights,on the other hand,they control their thoughts.We should respect and protect the weakness,what the Bible is

29、strongly emphasized is love.Knight accepted Christian education,their objectives,by the rules,against the infidels,not afraid of death,and the pursuit of love.Most impressive example is the crusader's moving.It has eight times in total and lasts for two hundred years.All these are incited by Chr

30、istian and church2.IndividualismIndividualism is the concept which means individual interest is the main factor to decide our behavior.It stressed the independence and freedom of the individual human.In Western countries,people are focusing on individualism,so heroically fought for the motherland an

31、d the people,but more important is that for their own interests and their families struggle.The ability of western films focus on human,emphasizes human value.They have a self responsibility and a strong will to save.These people in the West to pursue desirable representative:equality,freedom and de

32、velopment.3.Low power-distanceSamovar,Porter&Stefani say flin other cultures,Power deserve the those affected by remarkable approaching those in power Zhang Jingquan proposes that"in the Medieval time,knights could require an equality in laws,although this equality was not absolute equality

33、,it made a long and deep influence on western societyThis is because the western society is a low-power-distance country.Unlike Chinese swordsmen,western knights had their rights to pursue power and social status，and they fight for what they want.II Heroism in Chinese Movie And TV ProgramA.The Typic

34、al ImageUnlike western heros image in the movies and TV programs,we Chinese hero in the movies or TV usually have responsibility for nation,believe justice and honesty,and at last they treasure friendship more than American hero.1.Responsibility for nation Countries and people are more important tha

35、n a China hero heart.The hero,the family is not only his wife and children any more,this is all citizens.He would not tolerate the country insulted,and citizens have been tortured."Although Chinese heroes from different social stratum,social scattered around,they have a common characteristic:to

36、 love their own countries and people"(Jin Huiling 139)Tian Xianzhi say that they are willing to sacrifice their insignificant lives to protect the country and people from danger which can not be stopped by any powerful figure or threat(207)In the Chinese movie Hero,the reason why swordsman Wu M

37、ing and Can Jian decide to kill the king Qin is that their country is destroyed by Qin and their citizens are killed by Qin,and they have the mission to revenge.But finally it is also the country and citizen that stopped the idea of killing.Can Jian once writes"Tian Xia(which means the world)on

38、 the ground and says:Qi is already at war for many years and people suffer a lot from that，and only king Qin can end it and unify the whole world.Youd better give up the idea of killing him.Your pain is not a pain any more when it compares with that of the people of the whole world,and your hatred i

39、s also not a hatred any more when it compares with that of the people of the whole world.We can know it clearly how important the country and people are in the heart of Chinese hero.2.Believe in faithfulness Faithfulness is a necessary feature and soul of being a hero in a swordsmans world.Faithfuln

40、ess is that facing a righteous destiny,brothers even strangers can share the difficulty and sorrow and even sacrifice ones life.Old man said:"Gentleman dies for intimateswhich is honorable for heroic hero.Bai Hua considers that in the heart of the Chinese,the spirit of the hero includes:to puni

41、sh the bad and develop the good,to overthrow the hegemony and help the weakness,never be afraid of death,to have a thankful heart,to keep the promise and so on(182)Linghu said,In order to the faithful,the hero can sacrifice their lives for the country,and the people of brotherhood(117)We can see fai

42、thfulness to hero is the moral pursuit and core code of conduct(66)Besides，they put more emotions and sensibilities into their mission.In the movie Hero,Chang Kong,Fei Xue are willing to sacrifice their reputations and even their lives to help Wu Ming win the trust of king Qin,which is the loyalty a

43、mongst friends.Besides,in order to save the innocent people of their country from getting into the war again,the four people practice the Kung fu and swear to kill the king，and this is the faithfulness for their own country and people.3.Belief in justiceIn the Middle Ages,the Chinese hero basically

44、have no religion,they are doing just to feel the faith.Of course,justice is the first standard,Chinese hero is the concept,This is consistent with the Chinese the Traditional Ethics Morality.Bullying and humiliating people is the biggest injustice.Swordsman for those who need help and against the op

45、pressor and exploiter of the battle.Ling Hu once says they do the thing just because they feel it is right.The feelings come from the sympathy to poverty,the tears from the threatened people or other injustice things(118)Huang Yonglin thinks that,for example,in the movie Ji Gong(a happy poor guy who

46、 has the magic to help the weakness and helpless on the way of his wondering)he is the image of"Processionalist to the injustice thing in the worldhe will punish the bad as soon as he comes across the bad(100)In the movie Hero,Wu Ming,Chang Kong,Can be built to kill the king because of the crue

47、l Qin to combine the six countries and to ignore the harm of the citizens and make many people lost their home and country.Do not kill Wu Ming can be built for their own happiness,In a world of justice for their own interests.4.Belief in Friendship The concept of confucianismfs by the feudal ethical

48、 rules of old strict prevention of 11 men and women"and the traditional concept of"heroes do not close to the"between 1 and Dangerous Beauty"Chinese ancient herohero usually have no interest in women,and even look the sex as the immorality.They consider the love affair as the con

49、trary of the hero behavior.Bai Hua thinks that real heroes do not marry women,or even they get married they are still not indulge in the love.The responsibility of helping others is always the main theme in their lives(183)hero usually publicize the same-sex relationship which is described as a nobl

50、e relationship.It strongly praises the masculine beauty.In the movie Hero,although hero Wu Ming,Chang Kong,Can health and Fei Xue,these four individuals are not friends from childhood,they are still willing to sacrifice their own lives to help others to accomplish the common dream.We can see in Chin

51、a,friendship with brothers is very holy,but love with girls do not weight that much.The love between Can Jian and Fei Xue disappears when their opinions become different.That is easy to see love to hero is just an accessory.Jin Huiling says that in the movie Shui Huzhuan，the description of women are

52、 almost negative，impure or heart vicious，like:Pan Jinlian,Li Qiaonu and so on(139)B.Reasons for The Formation of The Image1.ConfucianismDeeply influenced by Confucianism,a Conflagrant heroism progressively emerged.Christians are one hundred percent believing in religion,and tend to use every possibl

53、e way to destroy the pagans and protect the church.Unlike the Christian,under the influence of Confucianism,Chinese heroes are not sincere to God，instead,they love peace and believe in human itself.Heroes hide the pride and seem not so aggressive,and are more like"no desire,no action'1.Conf

54、ucius use the kindness to enrich the faithfulness and let it inspire people to respect the social norms,publicize the Loyalty,Filial Piety，Benevolence and Love.Confucianism also stresses the political integrity,professional competence and having no longing.So Chinese swordsmen pay more attention to

55、the inner quality and they put othersinterest first and are faithful to country and loyal to brothers and they care for the world and people.Lu Durong and Wang Xiu think that what Confucianism advocates lets a hero put collectives'interest first and sacrifice his life if there is a need to prote

56、ct the nation and people.2.CollectivismCollectivism refers to the individual concept should belong to society,should be given to the interests of the group and the individual interests,national.Collectivism is planted in our heart,because we are still young,which determines the China hero almost for

57、 the country and the people do.China hero in the film,is more like a member of the group,they put the collective interests in the first place,social norms and.Sometimes they also show their personal feelings,but when the need to achieve a goal,the collective must be put in the first place.3.High pow

58、er-distanceSamovar,Porter&Stephanie provide such clear and concise view,he said:"What Hofstede found that in some cultural perspective for those who have power and those who are subject to significant power far in many ways.In ancient China,people lived in a very strict hierarchical

59、 society and under a strict hierarchical rules of power and status.It means that there is no easy way for ancient common Chinese to get into the upper class.And Chinese swordsman is a common peoples spirit.The reason why the martial arts,as a low power of a group of people,against the big power group is not power,but to protect the weak and helpless.It was strongly inhibited by the ruling class was deeply into the hearts of ordinary people.III Analysis the Difference between Two Kinds of HeroismA.Performance practices1.Responsibility of the country VS homeCount
