If you say a little about what you say on the InternetIf you are concerned, you may notice a phenomenon: most people speak more and more “simple and consistent”.

It seems a little reasonable to call it “Golden Sentence”, and when you attack in the name of patriotism, you will become “exited”. When you fall in love and fall apart, you will often be called “Scum Man / Scum Girl”, throwing out some “not good The view of “has changed to” leading the way “, and talking about a few books and a few bands is” literary youth “.

Some scenes that needed to be carefully pondered and distinguished, under the superficial generalization of “A meal is as fierce as a tiger”, not only becomes tired or stigmatized, but also loses its original meaning and expression. .

Recently chatting with a friend in the publishing industry, she frankly expressed concerns about the current online language environment. The first is the word “golden sentence”.

“The concept of” Golden Sentences “is very interesting and well-timed. In the era of fragmentation, the demand for” Golden Sentences “has surged. Good books are dismembered and allowed to be twisted, just enough for various marketing numbers to be written Some “fake nourishment” will give readers a short pleasure, and slowly make people lose the ability to read long stories and understand others’ speeches. “

This kind of “smart words” that speaks only a few words is much read, It is difficult to feel the bone and blood of good words

But as long as you say enough, “Golden Sentences” has become a concept that everyone will blurt out.

There is also the word “scum man”, although it is often heard, but it itselfThe definition of the concept is particularly vague.

Are their main qualities shallow-spoken or abandonment? Are the married male stars and female friends sharing straws, or domestic violence, repeated cheating, and even sexual assault? There is no conclusion.

It seems that these cases may be called “scum men”, and even some boys have to be called “scum men” even if they don’t return home after working overtime and go home without washing dishes.

From a linguistic point of view, This kind of vague generalization and misuse regardless of occasion should actually be cautious, because abuse often leads to unreasonable expansion of word meaning = “text-remarks” label = “Remarks”> (Sometimes it is zoomed out) .

The consequence is that even if the person has reached the level of crime, the seriousness of the matter will be obscured by the “scum” of the gauze, and the serious “legal issues” will also be obscured. Can become “private”.

There are also some complicated feelings, which will be covered by these labels simply and rudely, wasting our chances to expand our understanding: many times, people have a pitiful and troublesome side, including ourselves.

Not to mention the words “with rhythm,” “crooked ass,” “double-labeled dogs,” or “planting grass,” “pulling grass,” and “eating soil.” These two years have appeared all over the world, If you listen more and use more, Yu’s mind is also a loss.

This phenomenon is actually a simplified “labeling” after all, it is lazy thinking.

Speaking of it, “labeling” is an unavoidable normal behavior. It helps us to cut down on complexity while understanding the world and saves brain energy. But if you are too used to doing this, your brain will probably passivate after a long time.

In the face of endlessly complicated things, If the thinking becomes single, the world will become “black and white”, and all things may be “finalized” in the time counted in seconds.

This kind of “stamping” at the ideological level will in turn encircle and suppress our lives.

When people fall into the “echo tube” that is keen on stamping and qualitative, they will like to look around with a magnifying glass and try to measure everything by their own moral standards.

The scope of this kind of scrutiny can be very wide. It may include real life or virtual literary works.

In our usual words, we can often hear evaluation words about things around us such as “the three views are completely destroyed” and “people collapse”.

This “three views of ruin” is quite a bit “overwhelming”, but the essence is just “different from your own three views”. “Human set collapse” sounds catastrophic. It is a simple desire for the distortion of the “perfect illusion” of living individuals.

In this way, Zhou Huimin ’s statement on Ni Zhen ’s derailment 12 years ago (intercepted due to word limit) can almost be regarded as “complex interpretation” Model of sex “:
