This paper discusses the formation of Taoist cultural elements and their application in the artistic creation of ink animation. Ink animation is a unique art form that combines traditional Chinese ink painting with modern animation technology, embodying a unique aesthetic and expressive style. The focus of this study is to take the ink animation film "Pastoral Flute" as a case study to explore the influence of Taoist culture on this art form. Through a comprehensive analysis of the film's content, form, and artistic techniques, it reveals the philosophical and aesthetic concepts embodied in ink animation and its fit with Taoist culture. The results of this research highlight the ingenious integration of traditional culture and contemporary art in The Pastoral Flute, effectively demonstrating the unique charm and artistic expression of Taoist culture. The film perfectly integrates traditional ink painting techniques with innovative animation methods, providing valuable insights into the innovation and development of ink animation as an art form. By examining the relationship between ink animation and Taoist culture, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the inherent cultural dynamics of this artistic medium, thereby promoting further exploration, creation, and academic research on ink animation.
