Martian is a kind of network language "invented" by teenagers when they communicate online. There is no certain rule, but some Chinese characters with similar sounds, shapes and meanings are mixed with symbols, letters, numbers and patterns, which are confusing for unfamiliar people to read, so they are called "Martian texts".
The most popular ones on the Internet are as follows:
Orz knelt on the ground like a man, with his head down, showing admiration.
Sorry, like a sad face.
Although the bow takes the word "strong" apart to show that it is stronger.
The first letter of BT "abnormal" pinyin
520 homophonic "I love you"
Sauce purple homophonic "like this"
= = means "wait for me"
The origin of Martian language
At first, the Martian language didn't have a suitable name, so it was called network language. No one cared about it, and it was left to fend for itself. The word "Mars" first appeared in Stephen Chow's film "shaolin soccer". In the play, Stephen Chow tells Zhao Wei, who has shaved his head, "You'd better go back to Mars, because the earth is very dangerous". Since then, the word "Mars" has become popular, meaning that someone has no information and knows nothing about what happened for a long time.
On August 9, 2007, Netease Newsweek specially produced a special issue that comprehensively introduced the Martian language-The Manual of Cracking the Martian Language. The use of the term "Martian" can be said to be quite appropriate. On the one hand, Martian has been popular on the Internet for a long time, on the other hand, people who don't often contact the Internet know little about it. As a result, the Martian text was led out of the ground from an undercurrent and became the focus topic of people. Many media rushed to report, which triggered a debate among netizens-should Martian be banned? It was not until a reporter interviewed the Director of the Language Application Management Department of the Ministry of Education that Mr. Wang replied, "This reflects the strong desire to express individuality on the Internet. In addition, from the perspective of the standardization of network language, like Chinese, we should pay attention to and standardize it, but we should not take it too seriously, because it is a communication tool for specific areas and specific objects after all. Even in the media, not all words commonly used by the public can enter the dictionary and survive. Just like children talk, everything that comes out at first is meaningless and there is no need to keep it all. However, there is one place to pay attention to. If these pupils write online language into their compositions, they should be corrected as parents, schools and teachers. It doesn't matter if students chat with symbols, even with symbols that only two people know when they are in love. " The argument gradually died down.
Now the debate about mars language has come to an end, leaving almost no trace. The only thing left is the word "mars language", which will be synonymous with the future network neologism.
