As a sort of visual art, animation has showed boundless charm since it comes into being. With the rapid development of technology and computer animation, it shows the dreams of mankind vividly so that all of the people are obsessed with it. Whether an art can last long is determined by the content rather than the form. As animation itself, the Chinese animation will also make it a task to transmit the national culture. But for some unknown reason, after a brief splendor, it was submerged by foreign animation. To create the works with the distinctive national features, the most important thing is to discover the most essential matter of Chinese traditional culture. The civilization of five thousand years forms Confucianism and Taoism which greatly affect the way of thinking, the aesthetical appreciation and behavior of the whole nation. To occupy a position and get long-term development in the world animation areas, Chinese animation should take Confucianism and Taoism as creative element, especially the art of ink painting to carry the traditional culture. Only the animation works which is in line with the spirit of Chinese is the most vivid and resonate. The paper aims to analyze how to make good use of Confucianism and Taoism to propel the design of animation so that we can explore a way to develop it energetically.
