当代动画电影对八仙传说的世俗化书写——以动画《八仙！》为例

The Secularized Writing of the Legend of the Eight Immortals in Contemporary Animated Films—Taking the Animation All Wishes Come True! as an Example

摘要: 传统八仙传说作为根植于中国民间市井的经典神话文本，在长期的文艺流变中逐渐形成“神性崇高、仙格完美、出世超脱”的固化叙事范式，其人物塑造、叙事逻辑与价值内核始终维持着神圣化、精英化的审美基调。在国产神话动画现代性改编的创作语境下，当代国漫创作逐渐摆脱传统神话的教化叙事与崇高美学，转向人本化、日常化、世俗化的书写路径。动画电影《八仙！》以“得道之前的凡人状态”为叙事切口，对传统八仙的人物范式、叙事空间、冲突结构与价值体系进行系统性重构，通过神性祛魅、叙事落地、价值平民化三重改编机制，实现神话形象从“神圣仙者”到“市井凡人”的现代性转化。本文以《八仙！》为核心研究文本，结合马克斯・韦伯现代性祛魅理论与经过文献溯源界定的民间文艺现代转型逻辑，从形象重构、叙事转译、价值重释三个维度，探析传统神话IP世俗化改编的创作机制、时代动因与审美转向，并反思当代神话动画世俗书写的创新价值与创作边界，为中国传统民间传说的现代化影像转化提供理论参考与个案支撑。

Abstract: As a classic mythological text rooted in the Chinese folk market, the traditional legend of the Eight Immortals has gradually formed a fixed narrative paradigm of “divine nobility, immortal perfection, and transcendence” in the long‑term evolution of literature and art. Its character shaping, narrative logic, and value core always maintain a sacred and elite aesthetic tone. In the context of modern adaptation of domestic mythological animations, contemporary Chinese animation creation is gradually breaking away from the traditional mythological narrative and sublime aesthetics, and turning towards a humanistic, everyday, and secular writing path. The animated film All Wishes Come True! takes the “mortal state before attaining enlightenment” as the narrative incision, systematically reconstructing the traditional Eight Immortals’ character paradigm, narrative space, conflict structure, and value system. Through the triple adaptation mechanism of divine disenchantment, narrative implementation, and value popularization, it realizes the modern transformation of mythological images from “divine immortals” to “ordinary people”. Taking All Wishes Come True! as the core research text, combined with Max Weber’s theory of modern disenchantment and the well‑documented modern transformation logic of folk literature and art, this paper explores the creative mechanism, historical motivation and aesthetic turn of secularized adaptation of traditional mythological IP from three dimensions: image reconstruction, narrative translation and value reinterpretation. It also reflects on the innovative value and creative boundary of secular writing in contemporary mythological animation, so as to provide theoretical reference and case support for the modern image transformation of Chinese traditional folklore.
