Recently, the "top ten Internet terms in 2021" was freshly released, and "awakening era", "powerful country has me", "double subtraction", "yuanuniverse", "yyds" and "jujuezi" were selected. As in previous years, there are many voices in the public opinion field, giving evaluations such as "vulgar" and "boring" to some of them, believing that they are not worth spreading. Today, the number of Internet users in China has exceeded 1 billion, and the Internet penetration rate has exceeded 70%, forming a veritable "network society". Here, various possibilities in the form, sound and meaning of Chinese characters have been fully utilized to express all aspects of real society, forming an active and unique "network dialect". The constantly updated "annual network language" marks the hot spot of network life in the past year, and it is also a small incision to understand what contemporary Chinese think. For example, the "rebel" reflects people's fearless courage in the face of the new crown raid; The "awakening age" expresses our thoughts on the sages and people with lofty ideals in a special year Of course, Internet catchwords are born to adapt to Internet communication after all. They have their own entertainment and fragmentation. The cultural level and value orientation of online speakers are different. It is inevitable that there are various kinds of online words and expressions. Especially under the influence of the communication law of "short and fast" and "no amazing words" on the Internet, the popularity of many network languages does not depend on how profound thoughts, but on how they convey some emotions or cater to some interests. For example, hot words such as "Buddha system" and "lying flat" are more or less exaggerated self mockery; "Yyds" and "jujuezi" are words borrowed from "rice circle" by netizens with banter. Of course, these words are not standardized, and some may not have much positive significance, but just like the short rain can not reflect the climate of the whole year, most of the network "phrases" mixed with homonyms, ambiguities, foreign languages and typos are just another kind of "empty words", which will soon be washed out by the waves in the language metabolism and quickly forgotten by the public. The Internet has given people broad discussion space and given many words new life. The annual popular words may be the most popular part. We can pay some attention to it and understand the social group psychology in a specific era through it, but in the final analysis, many catchwords are just a gust of wind and may not represent the mainstream values of a society. For the list of "annual network language" and many nonstandard expressions, there is no need to give too much meaning, nor too conflict and exclusion. Just look at it with an ordinary mind.
