Abstract
This paper examines the localization process of Chinese film and television art in the 20th century, tracing its transformation from a Western import to a culturally rooted artistic form. Through historical analysis and case studies of iconic works such as To Live, The Grand Mansion Gate, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it explores how cultural traditions, social changes, and technological innovations shaped indigenous creative practices. The study reveals that localization not only preserved national identity but also fostered aesthetic innovation and global influence, providing insights into the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity in media globalization.
