When did the expression pack originate?

The expression pack originated from the smiley face symbol invented by an American. With the passage of time, various expression packages such as facial expressions, smiling faces, graffiti, graphic narration and dynamic pictures have been derived. Starting from 20 14, the founders of emoji search engine even designated July 17 every year as "World Emoji Pack Day". The real popularity of Yan characters stems from the widespread popularity of social software. Users can not only use the colors and characters that come with the software, but also publish their own colors and characters. Social software has gradually changed people's communication mode from face-to-face communication to online communication, and more and more young people are getting used to "puzzles" in virtual communication.

Expression packs can be regarded as an important supplement to online text communication. Compared with face-to-face communication, it is more difficult for people to perceive each other's state or mood in online text dialogue, and sending facial words can just make up for this shortcoming. When people want to express negative emotions or express regret for others, sending appropriate words can not only express their dissatisfaction, but also alleviate the embarrassment of the other party when receiving information. Emoji packs can also enrich the details of words in a labor-saving way. For example, the states that can represent laughter in WeChat facial expressions are "simple smile", "yi tooth", "cute", "snicker" and "smile". When users want to convey happy feelings, they don't have to think about which words are more accurate, just send an expression.

The expression packs used by young people are often funny, sarcastic or playful, while the expression packs for middle-aged and elderly people are famous for their quietness, peace and positive energy, which also leads to the cognitive differences of different generations on the same expression. For example, middle-aged and elderly people generally think that the "smile" expression in WeChat is a happy smile, while young people think that it is a fake smile with ridicule and high cold feeling, because it looks like expressions such as "sadness" and "goodbye" and looks like a smile after emotional depression.

However, when we embrace Yan characters, we can't ignore the power of language. Because the content and decoding process of Yan Wen Zi are irrational and uncertain, it is easy to cause misunderstandings and deviations in the communication between the two sides. Whether it is still pictures or video clips, Yan characters can only be regarded as a shallow and fragmented expression, which is an auxiliary means of network interpersonal communication and cannot replace the profound thoughts and true feelings in language or text communication. After all, the real purpose of interpersonal communication is to better realize the spiritual connection between the two sides. The earliest emoji is:-), born in the morning of September 1982. This kind of expression composed of punctuation marks is called emoticon, which is also an emotional expression.

Japanese word Yan, also called kaomoji, develops American emoji, which is more creative and artistic.

In 2002, the national broadband popularization policy began to be implemented in China, igniting the network, igniting QQ, and igniting the self-contained expression that appeared on QQ in 2003. Little yellow face was born!

After the appearance of the ios system, a little yellow face expression was born. According to Swyft statistics, 6 billion smiling faces are sent out every day in the world, and as many as 300 million emoticons are shared on Facebook every day.

When QQ's default facial expressions began to fail to satisfy users, a new generation of facial expressions mostly appeared in cartoon images, such as Ali, Youyou Monkey, Mung Bean Frog, Rabbit Case, etc ... A large number of lovely facial expressions soon appeared and became common facial expressions for young people to chat online.

In 2007, the style of runaway comics began to be popular in North America, and then it entered China and caused a trend. Although the style of painting was rough, it began to replace the traditional cartoon-like expression, and the three giants Yan characters occupied the favorite of most people at this time.

In the development, Yan characters gradually combine online buzzwords with pictures, and the types are gradually increasing, which can not only express emotions, but also express all aspects of life with Yan characters.

The combination of graphics and text has gradually evolved into the field of real people. Minguk Song, Jin Guanchang and Jacky Cheung, the lovely Korean singers, have all become the materials of the expression pack. Gradually, whether it can be made into an expression pack has become the standard to measure the trend.

With the expansion of the types of emoticons, emoticons that express emotions directly in a nonsense and funny way now occupy the frequency of chatting. The wisdom of netizens is endless, so are the expression packs, and the expression packs made of sand sculptures are becoming more and more sand sculptures.
