With the process of reform and opening up, China's documentary creation has gradually moved from an exploratory period to a mature period. Both the creative concept and the theme content have undergone tremendous changes. As one of the important types of documentaries, political documentaries play an important role in spreading mainstream ideology and advocating the concept of political party governance. The research objects of this article are three Chinese political documentaries: He Shang(1988), The Road to Revival(2007) and Amazing China(2017). The reason why these three political documentaries are the research objects is that they represent the national ideology to a certain extent and have a wide range of social influences. The research method of this article is a mixed research method, which combines quantitative statistics and qualitative analysis. First, transcribed the content of the three documentaries into natural language; secondly, use the Chinese word segmentation tool to calculate the frequency and weight of natural language; third, analyze the characteristics of the three documentaries based on the frequency of the words; finally, analyze the changes of Chinese social thoughts over the past 30 years. In the conclusion part, this research believes that "He Shang" is not a representative of "national nihilism" and "historical nihilism", and has a strong enlightenment color. In addition, this study found that Chinese political documentaries on the one hand adheres to the tradition of reflecting on history, on the other hand, it is increasingly emphasizing political achievements. This study also believes that the changes in Chinese social thoughts are mainly reflected in three aspects. In economics, the development of "primary and secondary industries" has shifted to the pursuit of "technical progress"; in politics, it has shifted from emphasizing "secondary enlightenment" to the pursuit of "the rise of great powers"; in culture, it has shifted from "cultural craze" to "cultural conservation".
伴随着改革开放的进程,中国的纪录片创作也逐渐从探索期走向成熟期,无论是创作理念,还是主题内容都发生了巨大的变化。政论纪录片(以下简称“政论片”)作为纪录片重要的类型之一,在传播主流意识形态、宣扬政党执政理念等方面发挥着重要的作用。本文的研究对象是三部中国政论片:《河殇》(1988)、《复兴之路》(2007)和《辉煌中国》(2017)。之所以将这三部政论片作为研究对象,是因为它们在一定程度上代表了国家意识形态,并产生了广泛的社会影响。本文的研究方法是混合研究法,将量性统计和质性分析结合。首先,将三部纪录片的内容转写成自然语言;其次,通过中文分词工具对自然语言进行词频与权重统计;第三,依据词频的高低分析三部纪录片的特点;最后,依据权重的变化分析30年来中国社会思潮的流变。在结论部分,本研究认为《河殇》不是“民族虚无主义”和“历史虚无主义”的代表,且具有较强的启蒙色彩。另外,本研究发现中国政论片一方面坚持反思历史的传统,另一方面也越来越强调政绩。本研究还认为中国社会思潮的变化主要体现在三个方面。经济方面,从发展“第一、二产业”转向追求“科技进步”;政治方面,从强调“二次启蒙”到追求“大国崛起”;文化方面,由“文化热”转向“文化保守”。
