Abstract Chinese contemporary fantasy film and television literature is the result of the overlapping of Chinese special modernity and western modern fantasy literature in the context of Chinese contemporary culture. It is based on the “appropriation” and “rewriting” of relevant resources in Chinese traditional culture. Chinese contemporary fantasy literature, film and television, for its part, features the “forced” entrance of tools into the traditional culture， the “forgetting and replacement” in the concept of gods and men, the increase of mens power at the price of gods, the affirmation of “common heart” and the variation of “the love between gods and mortals”. The first two aspects are obviously the “misappropriation” of traditional Chinese culture, while the latter three rewrite the relevant parts of Chinese traditional culture. These five features illustrate the modernity path of the Chinese contemporary fantasy literature, film and televisions evolution from Chinese traditional culture. This evolution is decided by the deep structure of Chinese traditional culture and the particularity of Chinese modernity.
