How to treat a Chinese odyssey from a cultural perspective? Thank you, and God bless you.

From a cultural point of view, A Chinese Odyssey has had numerous derivatives. Various versions of Chinese Odyssey DVD, books, classic lines, online novels and online games, which are constantly used in cyberspace, are independent of the original but more real than the real reality. At the beginning of A Chinese Odyssey, the Supreme Treasure is the leader of the Axe Gang, leading a group of brothers to lead a muddled life like a mountain thief. Suddenly one day, two beautiful women broke into their peaceful world. In a series of subsequent events, Supreme Treasure was surprised to find that he was actually reincarnated by the Monkey King 500 years ago, and was arranged by Guanyin to wait for the Tang Priest to protect him from the Buddhist scriptures. Supreme Bao didn't want to believe that this was his fate, but in the end, he died by the robber's sword, saw the tears that Xia Zi left in his heart, and finally realized that he was determined to undertake his mission. In fact, it has long been found that this model is strikingly similar to the Oscar-winning film The Matrix, which is popular all over the world: Supreme Bao is often taken to a strange place by a voice in his dreams to find himself in the mirror, and Neo is often lost in reality and dreams, not knowing which is the real himself; Bai Jingjing and Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, the Supreme Treasure was brought back by the Moonlight Box 500 years ago. Supreme Bao refused to take responsibility for protecting Tang Priest, and Neo did not believe that he was the man. Finally, the Supreme Treasure cast a spell and became the Tang Priest on the road of the Monkey King's protection. Neo finally assumed his responsibility. In The Matrix, Neo is told that he has been living in a virtual image, and the virtual image of the whole world is only running in a program made of a huge computer matrix. Only he can recognize the illusion, transcend the illusion, and finally lead everyone out of the illusion and towards reality. Designing a hero who lives in a completely manipulated and controlled artificial world is a common narrative mode in western literary works. Novels of this mode are called "dystopian novels". 1On June 5th, 998, the film "The Truman Show" produced by American Paramount Company and directed by peter weir was released. Truman, the hero, has lived in a small town called Xihaiwen since he was a child (in fact, it is a huge studio). Truman seems to live the same life as ordinary people, but he doesn't know that there are thousands of cameras pointing at him every second of his life, and the whole world is watching him all the time. What's more, he doesn't know that everyone around him, including his wife and friends, is an actor who cooperates with him. All their performances only convinced him that he was in a real environment. After several failed attempts to escape, Truman decided to leave this seaside town, but he found in despair that the big sea and the sky in front of him was actually a part of this huge studio. A Chinese Odyssey, The Truman Show and The Matrix all tell people a world of "virtual reality", and the protagonist is placed in a "perfectly designed" virtual reality. As the leader of mountain thieves, Supreme Treasure finally found himself living in the virtual world designed by Guanyin in advance-500 years ago. Truman rushed out of the huge studio and resolutely embarked on the road of freedom in Going Far away, but the Supreme Treasure had to face the same problem as Neo, the "savior": which world is real? Truman finally managed to escape from Xihaiwen, but the Supreme Treasure preferred to live in a virtual world, and tried to go back to 500 years ago with the help of the Moonlight Box to make the virtual world real. However, "in any case, hallucinations cannot be eliminated. ..... The only real thing in reality disappeared under the influence of illusion. What transcends truth in reality belongs to advanced illusion. " [14] A Chinese Odyssey, The Matrix and Truman Show profoundly revealed the post-modern chaos of truth and illusion, reflecting the hope and anxiety of mankind, but Truman Show chose personal struggle, the Matrix chose heroism, and the Chinese Odyssey was clothed with love. Unlike The Matrix, it was born at the right time. The postmodern elements in A Chinese Odyssey, such as the changeable time and space, the transposition of characters' identities and the deconstruction of traditional classics, were hard to find bosom friends in China ten years ago. So "A Chinese Odyssey" was a fiasco at the box office after its release. With the rapid development of the Internet, the popularity of BBS and the emergence of a large number of VCD players, a Chinese odyssey has swept the country dramatically, conquering young people who love fashion and despise tradition. The spreading process of A Chinese Odyssey is a process of constant symbolization, and its postmodern significance is gradually revealed and strengthened. From this point of view, the postmodern classic status of A Chinese Odyssey is endowed by its consumers. The reason why advertisers take a fancy to the westward journey is not that the product itself has the symbolic value corresponding to the westward journey, but that it injects the symbolic value of the westward journey into the product in an attempt to have a counterproductive effect on consumers. Stephen Chow has produced several advertisements for two companies in Chinese mainland. It is worth noting that these advertisements borrowed the symbolic meaning of a Chinese Odyssey, which not only included the factors of movie stars, but also incorporated the postmodern fashion elements characterized by the Internet. The symbol itself has an effect on the product, the symbolic value of the product depends on the symbolic meaning of another symbol, and the consumers of advertising products are also the consumers of their symbols. Baudrillard asserts that consumers do not directly consume the product itself, but some kind of social signifier given to the product by the consumer advertisers. Mark poster, an American scholar, said: "In the practice of post-structuralism text reading, the meaning is constructed by the reader actively." In fact, the "liar" first gave the postmodern symbolic meaning to A Chinese Odyssey, and then gave this symbolic meaning to the advertising products. In this sense, the symbolic meaning of advertising is actively constructed by consumers, and advertisers are the organizers rather than builders of this meaning transmission. Wulitou film has its unique social connotation and cultural soil. The nonsense culture, which was originally on the edge of social culture, has become a kind of "power discourse" in the network symbol consumption society. Stephen Chow, who was originally regarded as a funny star, is regarded as a cultural hero in the Internet, which is indeed a meaningful irony.
