The main reason why China couldn't produce period dramas like 'Our Fathers' and 'Band of Brothers' was that China's historical and cultural background was different from the times described in these works. China's War of Resistance against Japan was part of the Second World War, while Our Fathers and Band of Brothers were movies set in the Second World War, which deeply reflected the cruelty of war and the complexity of human nature. In the process of creating these works, many historical and cultural factors unique to China needed to be considered, such as the political background, social class, and people's lives during the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, more in-depth research and creation were needed. China's film and television industry also had problems with scrutiny and restrictions. Due to China's cultural censoring system, some films may not be able to be screened or broadcasted in China during the censoring process. In addition, China's entertainment industry also paid more attention to commercial and economic benefits. Therefore, some film and television works might pursue higher traffic and box office rather than in-depth exploration of the subject matter and creative quality. The reason why China could not produce period dramas like Our Fathers and Band of Brothers was due to a combination of factors. However, with the development of the Chinese film industry and the increasing demand for cultural and diverse audiences, it was possible for China to produce more outstanding films in the future.
China does not lack people like Menlo, but why can't China create excellent novels like her? Compared to western countries, the history of Chinese novels was relatively short, and there was still a lot of room for improvement in the development of novel culture. Although China had a long history and cultural tradition, the art form of novels was not widely spread and recognized in ancient China. In modern times, with the introduction of western culture, novels gradually became a major literary form, and Chinese novel creation gradually embarked on the road of competition with western novels. The field of Chinese novel creation was relatively singular. Most of the novels revolved around political, historical, social, and other topics, lacking creativity and imagination. Compared with western countries, which emphasized personal experience and imagination, Chinese novels paid more attention to expressing social reality and historical background. This style of creation limited the development of Chinese novels to a certain extent. There were also some problems with China's literature education system. Because China's education system placed a lot of emphasis on exams, it was difficult to give full play to them. At the same time, literature education also lacked the connection with real life, making it difficult to cultivate students 'practical ability and creative inspiration. Although China did not lack people like Menlo, Chinese novelists still needed to work hard and improve their culture, education, and creative environment in order to create better novels.
The anti-Japanese dramas were younger than the spy dramas of the Republic of China because the anti-Japanese period was between the 1930s and 1950s, while the spy dramas of the Republic of China were mainly set in the 1920s and 1930s. Due to the huge differences in architectural style, social environment, and technological level between the two periods, the scenes in the anti-Japanese drama looked even older than those in the spy war drama. During the Anti-Japanese War period, due to the impact of war and the lack of material resources, the economic situation of the society was relatively poor, and the quality of buildings and facilities was relatively low. At the same time, due to the cruelty of war and frequent fighting, the social environment was more turbulent and unstable, and people's living conditions and psychological state were more tired and negative. These factors affected the construction and presentation of the anti-Japanese drama scene. In contrast, the background of the spy war drama was in the 1920s and 1930s, when China's society was relatively stable and the economic situation was relatively good. The architectural style and facilities were more beautiful and modern. At the same time, the social environment during this period was more open and free than during the Anti-Japanese War, and the people's psychological state was healthier and more active. These factors all contributed to the construction and presentation of the spy war drama scenes of the Republic of China.
This problem involved two factors: the production of novels and anime. 1. The standards for creating novels and anime were different. Fictions and anime were two different forms of art, and they had different standards of creation. The novel focused more on the plot, characters, and worldview while the animation focused more on the picture, music, and rhythm. Therefore, if the content of the novel was not suitable for being adapted into an anime or the adaptation of the anime was not done well, the effect of the novel being adapted into an anime might be very poor. 2. Cultural and aesthetic differences. The cultural traditions and aesthetic standards of China and Japan were different, which would also affect the adaptation of novels and anime. For example, in Chinese culture, the plot and character creation were more important, while in Japanese culture, the relationship between the characters and the plot was closer. If the plot and characters of the novel did not match the direction of the animation adaptation, it would also lead to poor adaptation results. To sum up, many excellent Chinese novels and animes were very bad because of the different creative standards of novels and animes, as well as the cultural and aesthetic differences. If the adaptation of novels and anime was not done well, it might lead to poor results.
There were a few reasons why anti-Japanese dramas were so popular but time-travel dramas were so few: 1. Different historical backgrounds: Anti-Japanese dramas mainly tell the historical background of the Anti-Japanese War, while time-travel dramas mainly tell the story of modern people traveling to ancient times. Due to the different historical backgrounds, there were great differences in the production and audience of these two dramas. 2. Different audience preferences: Anti-Japanese dramas mainly targeted young people, while time-travel dramas targeted older audiences. Youngsters were more willing to accept fresh, sci-fi stories, while older audiences were more willing to accept historical works. 3. Different production costs: producing anti-Japanese dramas required a lot of historical information and venues, while producing time-travel dramas was relatively easy. Therefore, producers were more willing to produce higher-quality anti-Japanese dramas to attract audiences. The production cost of time-travel dramas was lower, and it was easier to attract small producers and amateur actors. 4. Political Corroghtness: Anti-Japanese dramas often need to follow a certain degree of political accuracy when they are produced and broadcast. They cannot involve sensitive political topics. Time travel dramas did not have such restrictions, so they were easier to produce and broadcast. For all the above reasons, anti-Japanese dramas had certain advantages in production, audience, and political accuracy compared to time-travel dramas, so it was easier to become a disaster. However, due to the limitations of historical background and audience preferences, the producers and broadcaster were more willing to choose other more advantageous topics, so the number of time-travel dramas was relatively small.
There were many Xianxia dramas and time-travel dramas in China mainly because these topics were more popular. Xianxia dramas usually involved myths, Xianxia, Wuxia, and other elements, often showing the story in a fantasy way. Time travel dramas mainly told the protagonist to travel to different historical moments or worlds to experience different life experiences. These topics were attractive to a certain extent and the production cost was relatively low, so they were more popular in the Chinese TV series market.
It wasn't that China didn't have mystery novels like Sherlock Holmes, but that the creation of mystery novels in China was relatively late and not as developed as in western countries. The development of mystery novels in China can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s, but at that time, for various reasons, this kind of novel did not receive enough attention. Later, with the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the creation of mystery novels gradually received more attention and support. There might be some differences in terms of subject matter and content between Chinese mystery novels and Western mystery novels such as Sherlock Holmes. For example, Chinese detective novels usually focused more on the construction of the plot and the description of the characters rather than emphasizing mathematics and logical reasoning. In addition, due to the different cultural background and social environment, the creation of Chinese mystery novels also had some challenges. Although there were no detective novels like Sherlock Holmes in China, there was still a vast space for the development of detective novels in China. With the continuous development of China's economy and culture, it was believed that the creation of Chinese mystery novels would become more and more exciting.

There were no epic works like Homer's Epic in ancient China for the following reasons: 1. Language and cultural background: The language and cultural background of ancient China was very different from that of Homer. The language and characters of ancient China did not form a unified standard. Different regions and ethnic groups used different languages and characters. These languages and characters were very different from the ancient Greek and Latino used in Homer's Epic. 2. Social structure and values: The social structure and values of ancient China were also different from those of Homer. In ancient times, China was a society dominated by agriculture. People lived a hardworking and thrifty life, paying attention to family and kinship. The ancient Greek society described in the Homerian Epic was richer, and people lived a life of hunting and adventure, paying attention to personal rights and honor. 3. Historical records and inheritance: The historical records and cultural inheritance of ancient China were not as developed as Homer's Epic. The culture of ancient China was mainly passed down through oral tradition, unlike Homer's epic, which was passed down through written tradition. Therefore, the culture and ideas of ancient times were not widely spread and passed down, making it difficult to produce a classic work like Homer's Epic. In summary, the reason why there were no epic works like Homer's Epic in ancient China was mainly due to the differences in language and cultural background, social structure and values, and the lack of historical records and inheritance.
