Abstract:

 For a long period of time, there is a certain degree of habitual thinking of Orientalism in oversea scholars' research for China's film. As the first step to understand this issue, the cognitive bias in oversea films about China's or the Chinese images can be referred to. For example, in the documental usage of oversea scholars, some essays and monographs about Xie Jin's films often appear fragment citations, shielded allusion and unidirectional intertext choice, the common roots of which can be given an analysis by virtue of Edward Said's theory of Orientalism.

Key words: oversea research for Chinas film; Orientalism; fragment citations; shielded allusion; unidirectional intertext choice
