On December 12, the editorial department of "Biting the Text and Chewing the Words" released the "4 Top Ten Popular Words". "New Quality Productivity", "Two-way Running", "Artificial Intelligence Model", "Village Super", "Special Forces Tourism", "Conspicuous Package", "Partner", "Dopamine ××", "Emotional Value", "Questioning×× Understanding ××, and Becoming a ××" were selected.
The editorial department of "Biting the Text and Chewing the Words" released the top ten popular slogans of the year at the end of the year, which has been a "prescribed action" for many years. Every year at this time, the media and the Internet are buzzing and commenting on the buzzwords that come out of the blue, and this year is no exception.
The release of the "Top 10 Popular Sayings" has further enhanced people's sensitivity to language, helping people to see and recognize language in life in new ways and from new perspectives.
Many netizens bluntly said that they felt very cordial when they saw the selection of "conspicuous bag" and "partner", and it felt very warm that such a down-to-earth word could become a buzzword of the year. Indeed, there is less meaning such as "dislike" and "love to be in the limelight", and more connotations such as "vitality overflow" and "cute and interesting", and the popularity of "conspicuous bag" makes people realize the human touch shown in the process of language change, and this precise and witty expression reveals a positive attitude towards life.
The release of the "Top 10 Popular Languages" has also broken down the barriers between generations and groups to a certain extent, allowing different groups of people to achieve better cross-border communication through literacy in the vocabulary.
In the buzzwords released this year, many middle-aged and elderly netizens said that they didn't understand what it meant by "questioning emotional value×× understanding ××, and becoming a ××", but the detailed interpretation given later pointed out that behind the popularity of "emotional value", more and more people have higher-level psychological needs in addition to material life. When this kind of emotional needs and dynamic psychological processes are seen by parents and elders, it may become the beginning of some changes in preconceived cognitions and concepts, and a key to unraveling the gap between generations and groups.
The release of the "Top 10 Popular Words" also gives people the opportunity to contact and understand the unknown, broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
Words such as "artificial intelligence model", "village super" and "special forces tourism" were once only popular in a certain circle and attracted the attention of some specific groups of people.
Pro, selling cute, complaining, top-level design, new normal, breaking defense, shop small two, blockchain, metaverse... Looking back at the buzzwords of the year over the years, some have been solidified into common phrases and become irreplaceable in the Chinese thesaurus, while others are of great epoch-making significance and become footnotes to social progress.
Some people say that "to understand China, you must first understand the ten popular languages", and "only by understanding the ten popular languages can you achieve a better self". In the way of language review, it reviews the major events and small events that have entered the public eye in the past year, describes the changes in people's lifestyles and ideological concepts, and truly records the development of the times and individuals on the basis of arousing empathy and resonance - the release of the annual "Ten Popular Words" is, to a certain extent, a sense of ritual at the end of the year and the end of the year, and also a window to observe social reality.
In this period of release, use, and discussion, the Chinese language completes its metabolism, and the wheels of the times roll forward. (Workers' Daily, Le Qun)
