The animation "Under One Person" contains many Taoist elements, which has spread many traditional Taoist cultures that did not receive much attention before, giving traditional culture a strong vitality. This animation is based on modern life, and each character has the same living habits as ordinary people today. In this setting, some shadows of Taoist culture are even more intriguing, such as the namesake of the Taoist founder. The character Zhang Tianshi, and the concept of "Qi" throughout the play.
1. Zhang Tianshi
The appearance of the anime character Zhang Tianshi is somewhat similar to the historical portrait of Zhang Tianshi. His eyebrows are all white, he has a long beard, his clothes are fluttering, and his temperament is unparalleled. elegant. The title Tianshi first came from the Taoist classics. Heaven refers to the Tao, and the teacher refers to the guide. Taoists teach because they preach the Tao, so Taoists are called Tianshi. Celestial masters have also been recognized by the court. For example, Zhang Ling and his descendants were canonized as Celestial Masters in the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhang Changchun of Longhu Mountain in the Ming Dynasty was canonized as the Zhengyi Sijiao Zhenren. 2. ?炁?
In animations, the word ?炁? is often seen. In fact, this ?炁? is a philosophical concept dedicated to Taoism. It is used in the Taoist classics "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". There is an interpretation of it. We can assume that Qi is a mysterious energy that corresponds to Qi. The former is inherited from the mother at birth, and the latter comes from a lot of diet and exercise. Mr. Lu's martial arts "Three Levels of Reverse Life", after the third level, all the power is converted into "Innate Qi", which is exactly the same as the return method in Taoist magic, returning "acquired Qi" into "Innate Qi" Qi?.
"Under One Person" is a collision between traditional Taoist elements and modern animation culture. Many Taoist trivia in ancient books can reappear in the eyes of modern young people. It not only spreads Taoist culture subtly, It also makes the image of Taoist culture younger, further attracting modern people to take the initiative to understand. I believe that after "Under One Person" is a successful case of reviving traditional culture, more similar excellent works will enter the animation market.
