Recently, the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center released the "Top Ten Internet Terms of 20 18", and these popular languages that frequently appear on the Internet on weekdays have been shortlisted. The endless network buzzwords constantly expand the possibility of Chinese, and therefore become symbols reflecting social culture.

The language modality and usage scenarios of online buzzwords are different, some are triggered by social events, some are popular by stars or grassroots, and some are popular in unexpected ways. Looking at the top ten online hot words in 20 18, most of them come from the field of culture and entertainment. There are "Buddhist schools" introduced from Japanese magazines, "official announcements" that became popular because celebrities announced their marriage, and "peeling" that became popular because of game commentary. Although the sources of online buzzwords are different, they all reflect the popular culture of the current society from different aspects and bring together the collective memories and emotions of the public at a certain period or stage of society.

Language is a means of human communication, a carrier of expressing thoughts and feelings, and a mirror of real life. Network buzzwords are an extension of real language, and also directly reflect real life and public mentality. Take "Buddha" as an example. Originated from the men mentioned in Japanese magazines who like to live alone, reject and be different. However, after being reformed by netizens in China, a series of words such as "Buddhism", "Buddhism's youth" and "Buddhism's life" were derived from people who don't fight for it, take things as they are and don't care. With the rapid pace of modern life, everyone is facing different pressures. "Buddha" is an attitude towards real life and an externalization of a certain social mentality. Correspondingly, the word "koi fish", which became popular because of Alipay's official Weibo lottery, symbolizes people's pursuit of luck; Because the song Calories is frequently sung, Burning My Calories reflects people's yearning for a healthy life. These online buzzwords reflect the same situation people face in life, not only represent people's living conditions and mental outlook, but also reflect the social environment to some extent.

Nowadays, with the frequent use of online buzzwords, the scope of Chinese is also expanding. The sixth edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary contains online terms such as "Geili" and "Ren Lei", and the word "Sun" is added to the annotations such as "Sun Xin" and "Sun Zhao". The innovative development of language meets the needs of social life and reflects the vitality of culture to some extent.
