In the chat interface of various social software, we have become accustomed to using memes to "doutu". Behind the various memes, there is actually a rather humorous interpretation. Netizens have given literary translations to commonly used emoji symbols: Su Dongpo, who loves to use "Hehe" to see through life, Zhu Shenghao, who likes "star eyes" the most, or Wilde, who is very beautiful even if his heart breaks... Memes and literature spark a wonderful spark.

You love to use "Oh", people Su Dongpo has long used it as a "mantra"
When netizens make notes on the meme "Hehe", they will always attach a sentence: Su Shi really used it. Did not deceive you, according to incomplete statistics, Su Shi and various friends, relatives of the content of the communication, "hehe" used more than forty times, almost add parentheses to indicate "here please open your mouth and laugh" it.
For example, "take the bamboo shoots and the mandarin heart opposite, cook it in water, use ginger to serve natural juice and wine three things, etc., add less salt, gradually sprinkle it, overcooked and edible." Don't dare to taste this alone, please do it according to the law, and share it with your sister-in-law. hehe. After reading this passage, you can basically have a grinning old man in your mind, sharing your own food secret recipes kindly and cheerfully, and good things have to be eaten together. Another example is "recent small words, although there is no Yanagichiro flavor, it is also a family." hehe. The general idea of "huh" here is "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am really satisfied with the newly written word. Another example is "accept the bayberry, and admire it to the point." Smell the mountain ginger flowers are about to come out, record the dream to go to the poem, Shu to this gift also. hehe. The meaning of "huh" in this sentence is very ordinary: Bayberry received, I thank you.

No matter what it is, Su Shi can "huh" with you, but the first ancients to use "huh" are not Su Shi. As early as the Book of Jin, the word "huh" was used in conjunction with "laughter", referring to "laughter". Since being interpreted by Su Shi out of the N kinds of "hehe" play, the interpretation of "hehe" has gradually had a new derivative "product", such as Mi Fu in a letter to his friend Ge Xuan, using "hehe" to express the indignation in his heart. In the ming Dynasty Shen Zhou's letter to Zhu Zhishan, "Huh. Hurriedly attached, Yu Rong smiled with some contempt: "Briefly talk about it in the letter, and we will talk about the rest when we meet." ”
You see, are these ancients walking memes?
Common memes have "literary interpretations"
Nominated by netizens, the memes given to literary and artistic translations are far more than "huh". Common expressions such as "starry eyes", "grievances", and "covering faces" all have literary interpretations. For example, the romantic expression of "star eyes" comes from the translator Zhu Shenghao, "I want to watch the rain in the maoting pavilion, watch the ants by the rockery, watch the butterflies fall in love, watch the spider webs, look at the water, look at the boat, look at the clouds, see the waterfall, and watch Song Qing sleep sweetly." The sentences are all vernacular, but the seductive power is first-class, and the expression effect is better than the "star eyes" emoji. The stubbornness behind the "grievance" emoji, Mr. Lao She wrote clearly in "Four Generations Together", "You must take the grievance as a life, and feel a little sweetness from the grievance, so that you are still willing to live." The translation of the "cover your face" emoji still comes from Chekhov, one of the netizens' favorite writers, "My self-feeling is not bad, my weight has not been lost, and I am full of hope for the future." The weather was superb. There is almost no money. ”
The wonderful spark of memes and literature has made many people start to pay attention to this interesting online post. In view of the current normalization of epidemic prevention and control, wearing masks, clenching small fists and "struggling" expressions have been nominated by many netizens. The accompanying "translation" is also inspirational enough: to hold on means everything. Wang Zengqi, the old man who lives a dashing life, is also a "meme translator for everyone" nominated by netizens. The "wave goodbye" meme, with the text comes from Wang Zengqi's "Eight Thousand Years": "When together, grace and righteousness; when separated, dashing and sprinkling." "Sigh" emoji, Wang Zengqi read a different taste in the article: "No matter which step you take, you always have to find some fun, think of a way, always frown and face, why?" ”
There is a reason why people live a good life, always find fun in life, this is the right value. Netizen "Chenchen" said after reading the online post that his favorite is the "clenched fist" emoji, "clench dreams and beliefs, used to encourage his daughter and himself, to cheer for a better tomorrow." "Wang Sanmei" nominated the "Smile" emoji, "This emoji has the cuteness of the cuteness, and also has the meaning of great wisdom and foolishness in it." ”
"Knowing" is a big problem in the context of the Internet
Found that no, your commonly used memes, in fact, there are quite a story behind it. Especially with the writers' raw flowers and wonderful pens, the function of conveying feelings is more vivid. However, why do we still choose to use memes to "fight the map" and express ourselves in the chat interface? Because the "will not know" in the context of the Internet is a big problem.
In the process of network chat, when the text is quickly exchanged, the two parties to the dialogue cannot see each other's expressions, cannot hear each other's tone, and even the communication process has delays, these special attributes make the language ecology behind the network communication more and more important, and the meaning behind various words has also begun to be scrutinized. The sound, shape, and meaning of the shape and sound word were all folded in tandem.
Online communication, just through words, we can't guarantee that the other person accurately understands their intentions. As a way to convey emotions, memes can make the other party quickly understand their emotions, and use this to correct the understanding of text content, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing communication costs and chatting happily.
However, "rollover" situations also occur from time to time. For example, the "smile" emoji that is given the meaning of "dissatisfaction", as the most basic style of emojis in various social software, "smile" still stays on the definition of "laughter" in many middle-aged and elderly concepts. But in the eyes of the post-00s, "smile" is no longer a laugh, and the deep meaning of it can include boredom, dissatisfaction, anxiety and so on. At this moment, the merits of the text are highlighted, and netizens find Flaubert's interpretation of "smile" in "Madame Bovary", "Behind every smile - there is a tired yawn." "The mask of life, the great writer has long reached out to you to unravel."
