By the evolution of human society from savagery to civilization, heroism was built up as spiritual values with collective consciousness which belong to ideological valuation. The specific person who has the lofty, solemn and stirring, unyielding  and enterprising character in social group is as a model to carry on and promote the goals which are the most perfect and noble for this social group in a specific period to pursue. With constant progress and development of human civilization, people's understanding of heroism grew into different aspects.

Movies adapted from their legend or mythology have inherent uniqueness which reflects and represents people's expectations for the existence of heroes. Chi Mingbin said that the heroism movies display the most excellent and positive parts of culture. Integrate the whole human beings into a social group, heroes have some positive features in movies.( Chi Mingbin,2011:17-18.)

2. Literature Review

As a country with such a long history of 5000 years time, China breeds its own traditional heroes. Zhang Fu summarized four prime causes of the producing of heroism in China. First, people's fighting against nature which is the prerequisite for human survival; second, their national struggle and fusion with patriotism; third, human's fighting against class oppression and feudal ethics; and the influence of Confucianism.(29-30).

In the article of Bryan Smyth’s, Merl eau-Ponty claimed that ‘‘hero worship’’ has ‘‘always existed,’’ but identified Hegel as the key turning-point in its history. Heroic action is understood as self-sacrifice in the name of certain transcendent, other-worldly goals. This changed when Hegel brought heroism down to Earth by conceiving it in terms of ‘‘the inpiduals of world history.’’ In this view, heroes are particular concrete inpiduals who gain an awareness that their social world ‘‘has no future,’’ and who take it upon themselves to intervene, in effect, on behalf of historical progress.(170)

3. Introduction of Traditional Culture on Heroism

Heroism has indelible influence in promoting the development of human society. But it is not abstract and rootless exist, it needs to inoculate in specific realities. Heroism exists characteristically in different country with distinct culture, different traditional cultural background and value system will portray a different type of hero. In the essay of Zhang Pan's, the words show that hero to China always own the spirit of achieving his ambition and being unflinching when facing death. Heroes should have dignity and integrity, prefer death to humiliation in China's history. While the core value of Western heroism is inpidual departmentalism and the aspiration of liberty.(Zhang Pan,2011:41-42) 

As a cultural phenomenon, the generation and evolution of heroism are in the background of history and culture. Zhang also said that with the progress of human civilization, pinity on heroes who are the combination of men and gods is reducing gradually, instead their humanity has been demonstrating constantly. As two different culture, their distinct concept of heroism reflected respective cultural traits. With unique features of nations and countries, heroism has a sense of history, a sense of the times and a sense of character. Different history and culture shapes different heroism. As Pan Tianqiang said, heroism in China focus on guarding the country and protect the imperial power while the West emphasize to build character and make history(Pan Tianqiang,2007:20-25). In the developing process of history, heroes are associated with their influence on history. In an age of globalization, the concept of heroism are defined by the value of each country’s own culture and propagate the value and heroism to the world. Therefore, conflict of culture which stands for different nation and religion comes out, so the comprehension of heroism is perse. 源/自:吹冰:`论~文'网www.chuibin.com
