Cultural Values in Downton Abbey from the Perspective of Value Orientations

摘要: 文化价值观是文化中最深层的一部分，它影响着人们对事物的态度、行为方式和决策过程。英剧《唐顿庄园》展示了20世纪初期英国社会的巨大变革及各种意识形态的变化，能够揭示当时英国社会中普遍的英国文化价值观。因此，本文以英剧《唐顿庄园》为语料，以克拉克洪和斯多特贝克的价值取向为理论基础，深刻剖析该剧中角色的人性，挖掘该剧所折射出的经历工业革命和一战的英国社会的文化价值观，有助于跨文化的交流与传播。

Abstract: Cultural values represent the most fundamental aspect of culture, influencing people’s attitudes on matters, behavioral patterns and decision-making processes. The British drama series Downton Abbey illustrates the significant transformations and diverse ideological shifts of British society during the early 20th century, which offers insights into the prevailing British cultural values at that time. Accordingly, this paper employs the British drama Downton Abbey as its analytical material and value orientations of Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck as its theoretical basis to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the humanity of the characters in the drama and to investigate the cultural values of British society that experienced the Industrial Revolution and the First World War. What’s more, this analysis is conducive to cross-cultural communication and dissemination.
