Works of art are generally distinguished by different genres and styles.
No one said Picasso copied Dali, although they painted oil paintings, and no one said Zhang Daqian copied Qi Baishi, although they painted Chinese paintings.
Martial arts novels are also a genre in novels. At the same time, Lu Lu Xiu and robotech are both sci-fi animations. There are also some titles, such as Japanese anime, romance novels, urban literature, etc., which are classified and distinguished.
Style is actually a very wide vocabulary, which is used to roughly classify works of art or goods. But some people actually regard style as the basis of plagiarism, which will cause big problems.

So how should we judge whether they plagiarize or not? We need to observe something more detailed than style to judge, let's call it-element.
An element is something that needs detailed observation, which may be so detailed that it makes people crazy.
There are two elements at the same time: essential elements and unique elements.
Essential elements: refers to the elements necessary to achieve a style of work, such as weapons and chivalrous culture in martial arts novels. What is a martial arts novel without chivalrous culture?
Another example is love in romance novels. Without love, what kind of love novel is that?
Or the wheels and steering wheel in the car, which are the power module and control module that the vehicle must have. Without these functions, cars can't drive and control.
Or science fiction works of art based on scientific logic or illogical fantasy, science fiction, of course, science fiction, these are all necessary elements in science fiction.
This element is not actually made by the public, which is the basis for judging plagiarism, because the function of this work should be realized.
Otherwise, Motorola would have filed a lawsuit against Siemens, Nokia and Bird, because they all have the necessary elements of communication products, such as radio communication and input module (1234567890? # * button) and microphone, etc.

Unique elements: we can also call it the characteristics of the work. It is a unique thing of a commodity, which is used by others to distinguish who this product belongs to or what company makes it, such as unique name and trademark, unique original patent function and so on.
Therefore, the basis for the law to judge whether two works are plagiarized is actually based on the unique elements of the works.
For example, what is the basis for Siniang to copy other writers' novels, first of all, the plot, and then a large number of unique paragraph details in the novel, which are unique details in the works.
Still refer to the shanzhai mobile phone in Shenzhen, why it is called shanzhai, because it directly changes the appearance and more or less internal functional characteristics of other mobile phones, of course, the new functions are not counted.
Then let's review the adventures in space and the fortresses in hyperspace. Why do fans think that the former copied the latter? Because of the transmorphers setting of the former, this unique element is 90% the same as the VF series deformation fighters. The deformation mode and the shape of the deformed body are almost the same.

I am the dividing line ... (Why are you here again? )
Finally, please pay attention to the details before you judge which works are plagiarized. Please don't confuse necessary elements with unique elements. Please don't arbitrarily say that works of the same style are plagiarized. This is actually a problem with unclear concept.
In addition, it is also legal common sense to pay attention to whether some works have copyright permission.
