Today's world is a world dominated by emoticons.
"Emoji" is a Japanese word, which means hieroglyphics, while Japanese Chinese character "E" means pictures and "Moji" means words. In Japan, emoji originally refers to ideographic symbols and smiling symbols used on mobile phones in the late 1990s.
Since 20 1 1 Apple added emoticons and facial expressions to the iPhone, these facial expressions have become popular all over the world. It can be said that emoticons are the most common language in the world in the Internet age.
However, in China, it is not enough to know how to use emoticons on social media. Recently, young people in China are infatuated with a more complicated expression pack "Expression Pack".
Emoji pack is like emoji expression, which is a set of graphics used to express emotions. However, emoticons, facial expressions and characters are generally a unified group of pictures released by mobile phone manufacturers in the operating system of their products. These characters are centralized and unified, and the number is limited.
In contrast, creating and publishing facial characters does not depend on mobile phone manufacturers. Anyone can be a character.
Therefore, Yan characters are various, usually including screenshots of celebrities, buzzwords, animated scenes or film and television dramas, and often accompanied by a string of characters. In essence, emoticons are more diverse and personalized than emoticons.
Emoji packs have occupied the social networking platforms of young people in China, especially those born after 1990s. For some post-90s generation, Yan characters have replaced oral communication. They will send out a lot of expression packs, and the competition will see who has the most expression packs and is the most interesting.
China's post-90s generation and their parents grew up in completely different environments. Today's world is an interconnected ocean of network information, full of different voices. In this context, the new youth subculture came into being, challenging the core ideology that had been dominant before, and opening up space for stronger individualism and innovative thinking.
Young people have established an exclusive system of expression and communication with Yan characters, which has a unique aesthetic and value system.
The Internet has given them a way to establish a new cultural identity in many ways. Because of this, Yan Wen can win the love of young people.
China pays special attention to etiquette in traditional social communication, and people's every move is bound by it, from dressing and sitting to getting along with their elders. There is no doubt that young people often dislike these red tape.
Internet chat generally lacks the context and emotional cues that we are used to in real life, such as facial expressions, intonation and speech pause.
In this regard, the Chinese people's response is to use funny expressions. Clever use of Yan characters can accurately convey the speaker's emotions without causing social misunderstanding.
