In the nearly 30 years from Chinese literary creation to conclusion of "the Great Cultural Revolution", "revolution" basically always was the Chinese society culture subject. The revolutionary history movie was treated as the important media that loaded and disseminated the mainstream ideology and formed an entire set of indication system. Since the New Time, along with social ideal change and modernized value dimension establishment, the significance and its indication system of revolutionary history movies , As well as afterwards television play, started long-time post-revolutionary shift. Specially since last century 90's, the overall displacement of social culture and value idea forces revolutionary marks have to be mixed up and coded with common customary and even fashionable element in order to obtain the certain dissemination. Therefore the revolutionary significance is also rewritten repeatedly and spread in rewriting. The dissertation cuts in from the angle of post-revolutionary shift and analyses significance code and image expression of revolutionary history films and television plays since the New Time specially the 90's and attempts to describe the spiritual travel of Chinese society in some side.This dissertation consists of four chapters. The first chapter elaborates the persevering and evacuation of revolution significance under modernized linguistic environment from beginning of the New Time to end of the 80's. In mainstream sight, the goal of some movies which took "the struggle between two political lines" as subject was to set up the correct revolutionary history shape in harmony with the political situation called "bringing order out of chaos" and make the new explanation to the revolutionary concept. Along with thoroughly cultural reconsidering and the renewal of image idea, the revolutionary films and television plays based on the humanities standpoint appeared. They developed the existing space of individuality as far as possible and enable the human nature perfection to be solved in imagination under the premise of affirmation revolution history valid. In the 80's intermediate or later stages, the type image narrative skill started to reappear in the revolutionary history movies. The second chapter studies the reforming of revolutionary history movies in form of biographies. In order to propagate the main melody in the multicultural linguistic environment, on the one hand the revolutionary history movies in form of biographies are maintaining the audience approval of their top significance by the subject called "historical trend" and "national spirit"; On the other hand they make every effort to complete the low-attitude expression in the narrative interest between average person and extraordinary person. If study from the angle of cultural ecology, we can find that major revolutionary history movies in form of biographies enter the stage as ceremony in national holiday and this inevitably affects its significance expression. The third chapter focuses on revolutionary history imagination in the original red revolutionary history television plays. In current original red revolutionary history television plays, the revolutionary significance is frequently combined with violence, political strategy, women, etc. however, in some films and television plays revolutionary life path and personal integrity actually presents as a marvelous sight. In globalization linguistic environment, facing dominant culture the fable revolution history movies start to appear. The fourth chapter discusses the reconstruction of red classical text in the numerous sounds clamor. Because the New Time esthetic standpoint is in contradiction with audience's ideal demand and reminiscent emotion, the deep-level dialogue platform between the red classical texts and current reality is difficult to establish. The state that is clamorous but also misses the point reflects our unwilling and helpless facing the fervor years.As a kind of cultural reference, the imagination about revolutionary history will be following China's modernized journey.
