Original story and character are one of the attractive compositions in term of animation or interactive media. This situation can be verified from the popular game and comics which are produced by USA and Japan. However, when we examine the history of digital content development in our country, the design results of original story and character are not satisfactory. It is not to mention that we have never produced the popular game and animation with local culture. Therefore, this project is based on the design principle with “innovative style of classical elements” for drawing by hand-painted techniques to create characters and situations. The creation is emphasized on the manipulating of emotional and interesting elements to interpret Poetry and Fable. It is looking forward to highlight the characteristics and image of original character through impressive animation. In order to challenge the diverse character design, the variant human characteristics are performed, such as hammer, tolerance, graceful, simple, banal, petty, greedy, and cunning, etc. The subjects of serial creation were selected from classical Poetry-Guanju and Bringing in the Wine, and some of fables like the Monk Eating Shrimps, which have significantly different characteristics of protagonists. In the creation process the characteristics, appearance, action and inner character of a protagonist is analyzed firstly. The inner and external features of a character can be generalized as the basis for the character setting. Followed, it is integrated with the situation analysis of text and then developed the specific scenes and images of the animation. Finally, the characters are created in the abundant condition of subject.
The animations of serial creation have been combined into the advanced learning content of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. It can be used as the basic curriculum for learners to explore the Chinese culture. Therefore, it will reach the goal where the situations of literatures are presented and the classical cultures are inherited
