At the end of the Spring Festival holiday, when many people still don't understand what "duang" is, on the morning of February 26th, "what does duang mean" has become the most popular word in Weibo. If you don't know the truth, Baidu will probably see a spoof video about Jackie Chan.
"When I first learned that I wanted to shoot a shampoo advertisement, I actually refused. I told the director that I refused, because, in fact, I didn't have any hair ... The director told me that after the filming, my hair was black, bright and soft ... After a month of stunts, my hair became messy. Later, I also knew that they were fake and chemical. Now I still add stunts every day, and I add a lot of stunts. My hair is duang ~ duang ~ duang ~, and it is dark and thick. Because of me, I add special effects ... "
In fact, the video originated from Jackie Chan's endorsement of a brand of shampoo in 2004, but it was copied by the industrial and commercial department. Recently, this advertisement was once again spoofed by netizens, and it was also synchronized with Pang's "My Skateboarding Shoes". Therefore, "duang" is closely related to the explanation of "adding special effects", and it has also become the first buzzword on the Internet since the 20 15 New Year. Not only that, but now "duang" is not only created as a writing method, but also "made sentences" by netizens under the brainstorming, origin and extension of this word.
Late at night on February 26th, Jackie Chan himself posted a concise "duang~~" in Weibo, which attracted nearly 10,000 reposts and comments in just 20 minutes. Looking at the comments from netizens, you have "made persistent efforts" and made full use of "duang". For example, "When I was asked to comment on you at first, I actually refused. I told you I refused because I couldn't comment at all. Everyone told me that stunts were added after the comments, and comments were duang ~ duang ~ duang ~, and my comments, false and false, were all stunts, elements of random comments, and stunts of comments, duang~~ "
Where did duang come from?
So, before duang became popular now, had we heard of this thing? The Morning Post reporter found that in the World of Warcraft Game Forum named "Azeroth National Geographic", as early as 2009, some netizens posted a post asking how to write the word "duang". The landlord named Mimi Mo said that "duang" is a pictophonetic character, similar to "Kuang". But he couldn't write it, and his colleagues laughed at him for saying that calligraphy was for nothing.
There are also many people's first reaction: there is no such word, because entering "Du Ang" in pinyin input method will only produce pronunciations like "duang" and "Dang" or split words. Some enthusiasts carefully read the pinyin index of the Chinese dictionary and said with certainty: dui is behind duang, there is no duang!
However, the absence of this word does not mean that there is no such sound. Netizens are curious about how "duang”“duang" duang "sound at all. Netizen Andilec first suggested that this is an onomatopoeic word with a southern accent.
Onomatopoeia has been recognized by many people. For example, some netizens said: "The voice of thin people falling: pia! The sound of the fat man falling: duang! " Another example is a sentence from a netizen: "Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sima Guang. One day he happily smashed a jar, duang! duang！ duang！” Some people even suggested that Alipay use "duang duang duang" instead of "show show show" for face-to-face payment.
This netizen named Tian Tianan is obviously a fan of storytelling. He recalled that storytellers often said, "I only heard three duang duang duang Duang Duang, and all the sergeants lined up and came out."
But isn't this "dang"?
He also explained that duang and duang both refer to the sound of guns or knocking at the door when imitating sounds, but duang sounds more boring. For example, when attacking a city with a big tree trunk, it is the sound of duang, and the sound of a hammer is the party dang.
Then the question is, if "duang" is really an onomatopoeic word in dialect, where is it?
Henan people said: we have! Duangguo means "intentionally" in Henan dialect.
Hunan people said: we also have it! Duang is the sound of country cymbals. Biang is the imitation sound when the spring is pressed.
There are still many people who are speechless in the face of the same voice. For example, bu (second sound), the sound of fart; Another example is Yu Lian Du, which is a common punch sound in Kung Fu movies. There are also biang (Shaanxi friends may disagree, biang actually has characters, but biang has 42 simplified characters, I'm afraid few people can write them), bia when things land, biu when bullets are issued, and so on. In fact, these are also common words for special effects.
