This study, based on the theoretical framework of existentialist philosophy, systematically examines the philosophical implications of female images in Feng Zikai's cartoons and their cultural value in the transformation of modernity in 20th-century China. By constructing an interdisciplinary analytical model of "core propositions of existentialism - traditional Chinese philosophy - visual artistic expression", combined with image-text analysis and historical context research, this study reveals how Feng Zikai interprets the localization practice of existentialist propositions with his unique visual grammar. First, the female image vividly presents the dialogue between philosophical concepts such as Sartre's "being precedes essence" and Heidegger's "Dasein" and traditional Chinese thoughts of "benevolence" and "freedom" through the narrative logic of "free choice - existential dilemma - self-transcendence", reflecting the awakening of the individual's subjectivity in the tension between tradition and modernity; Second, the "silent resistance" and tender expression of the female characters in the cartoon break through the intense resistance model of Western existentialism and form the "flexible interpretation" path of existentialism with Eastern aesthetics as the carrier; Third, these images not only reflect the transformation of gender concepts since the New Culture Movement, but also participate in the construction of China's modern humanistic spirit through artistic philosophical thinking. The research innovatively integrates existentialist theory into modern Chinese art criticism, not only expanding the theoretical depth of Feng Zikai studies, but also providing an Eastern paradigm for cross-cultural studies of global existentialist art, revealing the medium value of artistic creation in the process of philosophical localization.
