다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nowadays, the topic of feminism is a huge controversy in the Chinese Internet. Some scholars point out the retrogression of the Chinese women's liberation movement. However, commercial animation has a two-way effect of reflecting and influencing social values, and the thoughts and emotions of the characters can be expressed through the body language of the characters. Therefore, from the perspective of the body language of animated characters, this research uses the female and male body language element framework proposed in Misuk Kim’s paper to analysis the body language and gender characteristics of 4 different types of female characters appearing in the long-length animation work ‘White Snake: Yuan Qi’. In Chinese animation, the female protagonist, who plays the role of submissive and traditional femininity, tends to express a lot of feminine body language. while female characters in the same main character show a relatively masculine body language or a similar proportion of feminine and masculine body language. It can be said to have reflected the typical femininity of obedient and vulnerable beings that Chinese society perceives as the female characters of animation. This is a result of reflecting the Chinese society's view of good, evil and the view of women, and it appears that there are still limitations according to the fixed image in the setting of female characters in the animation. It is expected that the results of this study will help Chinese animators change their perception of female characters by being used as basic data in the process of creating them.
