Abstract

In the discourse surrounding “Self-Orientalization” and “Orientalism,” the critical determinant is the effective dissemination of what is termed “Chinese cultural imagery.” The specific methodology for accurately constructing “Chinese cultural imagery” involves the integration of both cultural symbols and philosophical insights to attain a state of equilibrium or “balance.” The oeuvre of director Ang Lee serves as a paradigm of productive cultural dialogue, successfully conveying Chinese cultural imagery to global audiences, and positively impacting global cultural exchange and garnering affirming responses, understanding, and public sentiment.
