C-E and E-C Film Glossaries

    We have added two film glossaries to The Chinese Mirror, Chinese-English and English-Chinese, linked in the right sidebar under Research Aids.  Both will be updated on a regular basis.  While these are not intended to be comprehensive, our objective is to include as many terms as possible which the editor believes potentially of most use to the student of Chinese motion picture history.  For this reason, some of the terminology may no longer be in use today, but were commonly used in Chinese cinema's classic era.
