穿越手法在中国和国外的电视剧中都有运用，但还不足以成为一种类型，只是一种现象。“穿越剧”这个固定的说法是中国电视剧特有的。1993年，台湾电视剧《超级女巡按》以“古装剧加时装剧”的独特样式出现在荧屏上，开启了中国穿越剧的先河。2001年，香港电视剧《寻秦记》引发了强烈的收视热潮，其穿越时空的构思带给观众极为强烈的新鲜感。2002年，一部《穿越时空的爱恋》将这股时尚之风吹到了内地荧屏，无数观众跟随着剧中女主角，开启了一段征服古代皇子的奇异旅程，沉浸在梦幻般的爱情中。2010年，开年大戏《神话》在赢得观众认可的同时，得到了专家学者的广泛关注。2011年，《宫锁心玉》和《步步惊心》两部电视剧的热播，使“中国穿越剧”成了一个热点词汇和热议话题。尽管这些议论中有很多批评的声音，但不能由此断定中国穿越剧一无是处。电视剧是一种艺术，有其审美价值，穿越剧也不例外。本文便尝试对中国穿越剧的审美价值进行分析。对于中国穿越剧的审美价值，现有的研究多为单篇分析。而且，笔者认为这些研究的针对性稍弱，有些观点不只适用于中国穿越剧，而是适合于多种电视剧。本文主体部分为三章。第一章对中国穿越剧的概念界定进行了探讨，并对中外有关穿越的电视剧的现状进行了梳理。第二章对中国穿越剧兴起的语境进行了分析，主要包括日常生活压力之下的躲避式快感，多元化的媒介体验和青少年亚文化的逐渐兴起。在前两章的基础上，第三章重点分析了中国穿越剧的审美价值。内容包括中国穿越剧的审美特征，有关中国穿越剧审美价值的争议及应对建议。
