Where did the term "soy sauce" come from?

Many people don't know that soy sauce could be sold at retail in the past. At that time, supplies were scarce, because soy sauce used to be sold at retail. You took the bottle to the store yourself, and they weighed it for you.

It's not like today's life. When you are rich, you can buy a lot and pile them up at home.

This is the literal meaning of making soy sauce. What made it truly become a colloquial expression or a catchphrase was because of the Internet incident.

Six years ago, a reporter interviewed an old man in a community. Did he understand the negative impact on society that had occurred in the past few days?

In the end, the uncle just smiled and said that I didn't know anything, I was just a soy sauce guy, and he also shook the shopping bag in his hand.

In fact, it looked like a very common action, but everyone saw in the uncle's eyes the attitude that it had nothing to do with him, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth gave people a sarcastic feeling, expressing his disdain.

A passing attitude.

After that, the Internet name started to generate strong reactions on the Internet. He did not talk about politics on the Internet, did not participate in discussions on any sensitive topics, and showed that it had nothing to do with him and that he did not know anything in his replies. He said that he was just passing by.

As a result, the word became an instant hit and even became one of the top ten Internet buzz words of the year.

There have even been soybean gangsters in the future. This kind of people are those who clearly react strongly or actively watch after something publically affected, but they just don't respond in any way.

If society needs them to participate, they will refuse and tell them that I am just a soy sauce person.

Since then, the term "soy sauce" has evolved into "people who eat melons". In fact, only a few words have been changed, but the essence has not been changed. This is called changing the soup without changing the medicine!

Soy sauce is actually the product of the integration of real accidents and Internet culture.

Before that, soy sauce appeared in many places. For example, soy sauce appeared in the article of the famous writer Jia Pingwa, and soy sauce also appeared in Chen Peisi's sketch, but there was no hype, and it was not as popular as it is now.

high.

This shows that the Internet has begun to penetrate and spread into our lives unconsciously.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, we can see that our lives are now inseparable from the influence of the Internet.
