How can Internet buzzwords be a shortcut to understand the spirit of the times?

Text 丨 Yang Yi

Since the new century, the popularity of online buzzwords has become a phenomenon worthy of attention. They are not only a jokes invented by netizens, but also a characteristic of the emotions and social psychology of the times. Among the "Top Ten Internet Popularizations" summarized by the official media or private institutions, "inner rolls" and "lying" have almost become the top annual hot words at the top of the year. Rise. "Lying flat school" originated from the dilemma brought about by some social reality, reflecting that some contemporary youths try to take the initiative to withdraw from the increasingly involved social competition through self -derogation. In a seemingly resistant way, it has reached a high acceptance of the existing order and reflected as a frank acceptance of unsuccessful or loser. However, it is important to be vigilant that, the buzzword represented by "inner volume" and "lying flat" has the source of the social root, and it may also be the "words myth" created by the online media. The general mentality is worse than the anxiety of the traffic economy.

The short and straightforward network buzzwords have more communication advantages, just as deep thoughts are far less than exquisite golden sentences that bring the illusion of truth. However, the social psychology of any era is by no means a summary of several Internet hot words. In short, online buzzwords should not be a shortcut to understand the spirit of the times.

In the final analysis, "lying down" is self -choice rather than collective psychology. However, once the online media rendering, it immediately rose to social psychology and even emotions. Instead of projection of social reality, online media is better to intervene and transform it. Our awareness of reality does not come from the direct experience of personal experience, but the "virtual reality" shaped by the media. "Virtual reality" is not the confusion of virtual and reality, but when "virtual" becomes "reality" in turn rewrite our own experience, but makes people doubt the effectiveness of experience. Similarly, when the online pop language becomes a shortcut to understand the whole social psychology and the spirit of the times, negative emotions such as "inner rolls" and "lying flat" may mistakenly think of the spiritual aspect of the entire era.

However, in fact, the spirit of the times is not only online buzzwords, but also not only "inner rolls" and "lying flat". For example, hot words such as the official "Awakening Age" and "YYDS" constitute an alternative representation of the spirit of the times and youth culture. Hegel reminds us that to grasp the spiritual concept from the overallness, it is not to focus on the heart, but to open his own into public group life. As far as the youth culture shaped by the medium, the 21st century youth culture not only "Buddhism", "inner volume" and "lying down" such as "funeral culture", but also different from the underlying youth described by pure literature, red Culture and traditional culture also play an important role. For example, the main theme film and television dramas such as "Awakening Age" are sought after by young people, reflecting the combination of red culture and youth culture; the revival of the "national tide" variety shows the possibility of integration of traditional culture into youth culture; The perspective, showing the great mission of consciously undertaking national rejuvenation in the era of the rise of the great power ...

It is pointed out that these are not the effectiveness of the online buzzword, but the discourse construction and multiple faces of the words and social psychology aimed at the emotions and social psychology. On the contrary, although the hot words of networks cannot summarize the spirit of our era, we still have to face the value of online buzzwords today. Professor Liu Fusheng, a professor at Hainan University, said emotionally in his graduation speech this year: "Social desires can lie down and heart cannot lie down. Sitting in the mountains is not to develop laziness, but to stand up and go out." He proposed the "society Lying down "lying down", isn't it encouraging the young people who have just stepped out of the campus to not rot, but to sharpen themselves in the earth? From last year's "Become Zhang Wuji" to "Learning Leaf in Heart" this year, from "being a powerful benevolent" to "grinding things in things", it seems to stop talking at the same time. Professor Zhu Guohua of East China Normal University simply taught us to "understand failure" and "more clearly, we are willing to accept failure in some cases, that is, to be willing to acknowledge our limitations." Of course, "I am talking about some kind of failure here, not to claim lying flat, nor to preach surrenderism ... understanding failure, just let us be liberated from the failure of specific forms, just to better recognize the objective external external outside. The situation, more soberly evaluate your main ability in order to pursue your ideals more reasonably. "

Whether it is "grinding in things" or "understanding failure", we remind us that we must not lie completely from action to mentality. This also proves that online media can sell some kind of social anxiety to selling hot words.

Marx once said that any real philosophy is the essence of the spirit of the times and the soul of civilization.However, in the era that requires core values and ideas, online buzzwords have become a shortcut to understand the spirit of the times.This is one -sided or even dangerous. Not only does it not correctly grasp the overall spiritual situation of the times, but it may also bring misleading values to young people, causing them to lose their efforts to create future confidence and longing for a better life.May wish to say that it is not just the proliferation of buzzwords, but to mistake the negative emotions carried by buzzwords as the normal state of this society and even self -degrading.This is the hazard of the "myth of words" on the Internet.WeChat editor: Lu Yimeng
