Abstract

In the new century, with the spreading of global ecological crisis, the narrative core of Chinese minority animation works has begun to pay more and more attention to the expression of ecological and ethical relationship between ethnic groups, modern society and natural traditions, and has begun to strengthen the inheritance and development of national ecological culture and ecological concepts in the medium of animation, which is important to explore the ecological humanistic spirit and values in national animation art. In addition, the narrative core has begun to reshape the ecological ethical and social development concept of harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature. Based on narrates and aesthetic psychology. Based on narratology and aesthetic psychology, this paper analyzes the historical background and specific artistic characteristics of Chinese animation works turning to national ecological narration since the new century, summarizes the correlation between the law of artistic creation and the audience's aesthetic perception, and discusses the value connotation of using artistic media to alleviate the current human ecological crisis. Finally, it looks forward to the future prospects of the integration between the ecological narration of ethnic minority animation and the construction of ecological civilization in China in the new era. The ecological narrative shift of national animation works in the new era will promote the enhancement of ecological humanistic spirit and ecological values of the audience.
