[Abstract]From literature to film and television, the symbols presented by rural space bear distinctattributes of belonging and spiritual attraction. Along with the course of historical development, therural space constructed by native-soil literature has gradually formed its unique normative pattern. Thenative sentiment inherent in its evolution has also undergone changes amid the advancement of urbanspace. The originally fixed, natural and enclosed rural spatial pattern has gradually been opened up,while the modern, utopian urban space has continuously generated a yearning yet constrainingspiritual desire for rural space. Consequently, exchanges between urban and rural areas have grownincreasingly frequent, and people's identities have constantly wandered between "urban residents" and"villagers". Such integration of space and wandering of identity have not only altered the previousnorms of rural space, but also given rise to new forms in literary and film works. Against the backdropof the current "adaptation boom" in film and television, this paper conducts an in-depth explorationinto three dimensions under the tide of the new era: spatial transformation between urban and ruralareas, character identity, and symbolic expression in the film adaptation of native-soil literature.
