摘要:"白蛇传"作为中国经典民间叙事，自1926年上海天一电影公司<<义妖白蛇传>>开启影视改编后，近百年间衍生出戏剧、黄梅戏、动画、粤剧等多元类型影片，其主题随时代语境持续流变。二十世纪早期，改编突破人妖二元对立，融入反封建思潮，以义妖形象传递情义价值，成为追求婚恋自由与人性解放的载体;中期跨港、台及跨国创作赋予作品多元视角，在坚守情义与抗争核心的同时，强化角色人性复杂性，实现传统伦理与现代性反思的融合;二十一世纪依托成熟电影工业，改编在类型创新的同时，拓展出女性意识觉醒、多元情感表达等命题，回应当代价值诉求。"白蛇传"电影改编的百年历程，既是民间叙事与影视艺术的融合实践，亦是不同时期社会思潮的镜像投射，彰显了中华传统文化的不朽生命力。
Abstract: As a classic folk narrative in China,"The Legend of the White Snake" has givenrise to various types of films such as drama, Huangmei Opera, animation, and Cantonese operaover the past century since its film and television adaptation with "The Legend of the WhiteSnake" by Shanghai Tianyi Film Company in 1926. Its themes have continued to evolve inline with the context of The Times. In the early20th century, the adaptation broke through thebinary opposition between humans and demons, incorporated anti-feudal ideological trends, andconveyed the value of love and righteousness through the image of righteous demons, becominga carrier for pursuing the freedom of marriage and love and the liberation of human nature.Mid-term cross-Hong Kong, Taiwan and cross-border creations endow the works with multipleperspectives. While adhering to the core of loyalty and resistance, they enhance the complexityof the characters' human nature and achieve the integration of traditional ethics and modernreflection., In the21st century, relying on the mature film industry, adaptations not only innovatein genre but also expand on themes such as the awakening of female consciousness and theexpression of diverse emotions, responding to contemporary value demands. The century-longadaptation of the film "The Legend of the White Snake" is not only a fusion practice of folknarrative and film and television art,but also a mirror reflection of social trends in differentperiods, highlighting the immortal vitality of traditional Chinese culture.
