Abstract:
The protection and development of fine traditional Chinese culture constitute an important strategy for enhancing national cultural soft power. Taking Ne Zha 2 as the research object, this paper focuses on the dilemmas of copyright protection faced by derivative works based on fine traditional Chinese culture under copyright law, and reveals the major obstacles encountered in the application of law to such works. The study finds that the criterion of originality remains under-specified at the legislative level, contested at the theoretical level, and unsettled in judicial application. In addition, for derivative works of fine traditional Chinese culture, the ideational domain is difficult to disentangle from concrete expression, and the traditional materials embedded in such works are often hard to identify within the work's overall expressive structure. The study further indicates that a copyright governance mechanism for derivative works based on fine traditional Chinese culture should be established, with a comprehensive database of fine traditional Chinese culture at its core. A differentiated approach to determining originality should be developed based on the degree of reliance on traditional materials, so as to achieve differentiated copyright protection. In addition, factors such as specificity of features, originality of expression, and stability of identification should be incorporated into the assessment of legal protectability, and on this basis, their commercial value and social public value should be comprehensively evaluated. By balancing incentives for innovation with the public interest, this approach aims to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional Chinese culture, thereby enhancing China's cultural competitiveness and international influence.
