Nezha Conquers the Sea (哪吒闹海)

Happy New Year! A Chinese animated film - Ne Zha - which was released in 2019 successfully turned the mythological story of NeZha into a global blockbuster. As the 1st episode of 2021, let’s talk about this Chinese deity - NeZha. We will talk about how NeZha becomes the master of his own life in the film Ne Zha next week in Polydott Cinema as well. In Chinese mythology, NeZha is commonly depicted as a child. He was born with supernatural power and always has his hair tied up in two buns. We will retell the most well-known story about how he conquers the Sea and talk about his Hindu Origin and his family tree in the segment of “Did You Know.” Since Nezha receives most of his weapons from his mentor as gifts, the verb “送” (to give someone something as a gift) will be the key word in “Dum Tika Bum.” With the word “送,” you can talk about the gifts you receive last year from Santa and your parents in Chinese! 

新年好！2019年上映的动画电影《哪吒之魔童降世》成功让哪吒的故事走向世界，成为小朋友们追捧的流行大片。因此，作为2021年的第一个故事，我们这次就来说一位中国的神仙——哪吒！并且在下周的双语电影节目Polydott Cinema中，特意安排了电影《哪吒之魔童降世》，和小朋友们一起分享哪吒在这部电影中如何成为自己命运的主宰。在传统中国神话中，哪吒一直以孩子的形象出现，扎着两个丸子头，一出生就有神力。今天这一集我们就来说说哪吒闹海的故事。在【你知道吗】环节中聊聊哪吒的印度源头以及他的家庭关系。因为哪吒身上的武器宝贝绝大多是都是他师傅太乙真人送的，所以在【动呲嗒呲】环节，我们就来说说这个动词“送”。知道了”送“这个动词，就能用中文来说一说去年从圣诞老人和爸爸妈妈那儿拿到的各种礼物啦！
