Abstract：There is no lack of exploration and presentation of natural disasters in world movies. Movies in different regions and periods try to artistically reveal the relation between humans and nature with unique narrative patterns and rich mirror language. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese films in different historical periods used different narrative mechanisms and mirror strategies to reproduce the new China’s experience, self-reflections and final victories in combating natural disasters,. As a subgenre of disaster movies, Chinese contemporary movies of natural disasters have their own unique ideographic system and meaning construction mode in narrative mechanism and mirror application. All these elements considered, Chinese contemporary movies of natural disasters have experienced the construction period of the "other" narrative and political significance from the founding of People’s Republic of China to the end of Cultural Revolution, the construction and prominence period of explicit narrative and survival consciousness from the reform and opening up to the new millennium, the diversified narrative and complex cultural interpretation period in the first decade of the new millennium, and the fourth period in which personalized narrative and multi-level meaning expression are in parallel after the entry into “the Internet +” era. The narrative mechanism, image presentation and meaning construction at different period have not only have internal continuity and inherence, but also reflect the characteristics of the times. This paper makes a diachronic analysis and observation of Chinese contemporary natural disaster movies with the aim of revealing the meaning implicit in the complex natural disaster images and interpreting the creation patterns of Chinese natural disaster films.
