The Generation of Meaning of the Spirit of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team from the Perspective of Semiotics

Abstract

Based on semiotics theory, this paper takes the film "Champion" as the analysis object to explore the meaning generation mechanism of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team spirit. The study points out that the spirit of the Women's Volleyball Team is presented through
the concretization of image symbols, shifting from "historical and cultural symbols" to "spiritual symbols", and realizing the symbolic interaction between the subject and the object in the common field of the cinema. With the help of body narrative and the construction of collective
memory, the film strengthens the public's emotional identification with the spirit of the Women's Volleyball Team, promoting individual experience to rise to social consensus. This process not only stitches the family and country narrative and individual expression, but also precipitates into national collective memory through media technology, participates in the construction of Chinese national community consciousness, and becomes a cultural practice of telling Chinese sports stories well. Symbols thus become the core medium of meaning transmission,
emotional cohesion, and identity recognition.
