This study examines the post-2015 works of Chinese animation director Jiaozi (Yang Yu)

focusing on

Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child

(2019)

Jiang Ziya

(2020)

and

Ne Zha: The Devil Child Makes Havoc in the Sea

(2024). By integrating postmodern theory

feminist critique

and the philosophy of digital technology

it explores the pathways through which Jiaozi deconstructs and modernizes traditional Chinese mythology. Our findings reveal that Jiaozi transforms classical myths into contemporary cultural allegories through the violent deconstruction of power symbols

the narrative subversion of female characters

and the Eastern transmutation of technological aesthetics. Notably

the reconstruction of the Nezha figure not only signifies a modern awakening of individual consciousness but also functions as a dynamic vessel for Chinese cultural identity within the global context. This study transcends the traditional fidelity-based discourse surrounding mythological adaptation by adopting a three-dimensional analytical framework grounded in semiotics

narratology

and the philosophy of technology

thereby identifying innovative pathways for the modern transformation of traditional cultural resources in Chinese animation.
