Interpretation: The influence of "Korean Wave" on Chinese teenagers
Winter goes and spring comes, and with the passage of time, "Korean Wave" will gradually drift away, but its influence will not disappear instantly.
In recent one or two years, the Korean cultural trend gathered by Korean pop music, idol dramas and costumes has swept the vast majority of urban fashion people in China. New social phenomena gave birth to new words, and the word "Korean Wave" came into being and appeared frequently in TV, newspapers, magazines, Internet and other media. As Mr. Chen Yuan, a social linguist, said: "Whatever new things appear in the social system, whether it is new system, new system, new measures, new thoughts, new substances, new concepts, new tools and new actions, in short, this new thing must be expressed in language by all means." The new words in language are the most direct reflection and record of new things, new phenomena and new concepts.
"Korean Wave" is a general term for sociologists to describe the popularity of Korean culture, that is, the pure Korean-style lifestyle saturated with Korean unique culture is a new popular trend in China. Looking at it carefully, the various manifestations of "Korean Wave" in Chinese mainland are complicated, but in the final analysis, they all belong to the category of mass culture and consumer culture. Its appearance has something to do with the cultural trends of mass culture, practical philosophy, hedonism and consumerism that come into being with modern industrial society and even post-industrial society all over the world. I think that the emergence of "Korean Wave" should be recognized dialectically, and it is not appropriate to be paranoid at one end, only to do purely academic word scrutiny in the study, but to make a realistic examination of the situation.
I believe that with the passage of time, the "Korean Wave" will gradually drift away, but its influence on young people in China will not disappear instantly, so we must not ignore it.
positive influence: independent rational spirit
knowledge dissemination and concept renewal. The emergence of any kind of social phenomenon cannot be separated from the background of the times. Since the reform and opening up, China has made great progress in politics, economy, society and other fields, and China people, especially young people, have more demands for novel and diverse cultural phenomena.
While examining the influx of "Korean Wave" into China and winning many young people, we should see that, to some extent, it is precisely because of the lack of cultural environment in China, which positively provides or does not fully adapt to the spiritual and cultural aspirations of contemporary youth, so there is a big gap between supply and demand, so young people are bound to find other substitutes. It is only 11 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea. Through the media, we have contacted more and more idols of the younger generation of South Korea. Moreover, with the increasing experience of making our own stars, we have more and more knowledge of Korean culture, or more and more recognized the avant-garde or post-modern behavior of South Korea. This is an open era, and cultural diversity gives young people more choices. They are willing to choose those dynamic new cultures and grow up with them. Korean culture is an original new culture developed on the basis of the integration of eastern and western cultures. It is fresh but not shallow, so it has a certain appeal to young people.
On the other hand, we should also see that its spread is bound to load many modern concepts and new knowledge, which will influence teenagers. With its secularization, the Korean Wave has promoted the change and secularization of the world style, and also promoted the impact on rigid concepts and backward lifestyles. We can't just dwell on some details, and it's really unnecessary for us to be horrified by "the wolf is coming", lament "the world is getting worse" and feel that "people will not be human" or "the country will not be a country" only when we see the unsatisfactory wishes of teenagers.
in the current open era, it should not be surprising that foreign cultures are mixed with domestic cultures. Contemporary young people are unwilling to follow suit step by step. They naturally look for a new culture that suits them and is more dynamic, and are willing to grow up with it. Although their choices may be biased, their expressions are too immature, and they are sometimes dragged along by commercial hype. However, in any case, young people are quick-witted, easy to generate new ideas and accept new things. They have been imperceptibly influenced for a long time, not only expanding their knowledge, but also having new ideas and broadening their horizons. They are willing to treat life with a new spirit and face the world, so as to change their own destiny. From this perspective, it can be said that the impact is incalculable.
shaping the way of thinking and behavior. Life can't be without plain relaxation, leisure pleasure and primitive laissez-faire. Being restless, dreamy, rebellious and romantic in youth is the necessity of multicultural life. In fact, looking back at history, "Korean Wave" is just a continuation of fashion trends such as "Hong Kong and Taiwan Stream" and "Japanese Stream". What teenagers admire most is the fashion of foreign culture and the publicity of self-personality. As long as there are these two points, the wave of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea will definitely hit it off. When the "Korean Wave" appeared, the young people in China seemed to find the best combination point with their exotic and glamorous fashionable hairstyles, costumes and maverick ways. Everything is self-centered, modern, fashionable, unique and beautiful, which is the connotation of the rapid combination of "Korean Wave" and modern teenagers. This also shows teenagers' desire for happiness and simplicity, so that simple and simple things with individuality can make them relax and satisfy. Living in a happy way, singing, dancing and growing by feeling do not need too many reasons. The diversity of recreational activities endows teenagers with an optimistic and natural concept of life, which makes them forget their troubles in entertainment. This is also a useful inspiration from the "Korean Wave"! Culture should not be too "heavy" and it is difficult for people to get rid of repression. Too heavy should never be the result of cultural consumption; The relaxation of consumer culture should never be frivolous based on shallowness, and falling into frivolity will destroy the structure of the whole national culture.
the choice of values and outlook on life. The widespread popularity of "Korean Wave" embodies the value recognition and pursuit of contemporary teenagers, and is a vivid expression of teenagers' values during the social transformation period. The avant-garde of "Korean Wave", whether it is "cool" or "coco", is actually just a form of packaging, a rebellion against this self-considered "rigid world", and a way of existence in which they need to get out of the secular world and confront the tradition. In this extremely expanding field of vision, its performance may be superficial, and there will be decadent emotions, and the reconstruction of humanity and humanistic spirit for young people who are easy to be cynical is far more acceptable to young people than preaching.
"Korean Wave" contributes to the liberation of teenagers' personality and the strengthening of democratization tendency, endows teenagers with positive subjective consciousness, and makes teenagers present rational spirit with the characteristics of the times. Among the values of teenagers, ego is undoubtedly the most important, which means independence and is the minimum ideological resource in modern society. Teenagers have their own fashion and entertainment, and their own ways of expression. They don't blindly worship authority, obey their elders, don't follow the rules, and advocate personal choice. This independent rational spirit adapts to the needs of survival and competition in modern society, and is conducive to giving play to the creativity of contemporary teenagers and opening up new roads. This universal participation can also be said to be a kind of "cultural democracy". Of course, elites can accuse this culture of vulgarity, lack of depth and individuality, but it has brought joy and happiness to most people's body and mind after all.
Negative influence: utilitarianism and secularism
The "Korean Wave", which is characterized by popular culture and consumer culture, is bound to be entertaining because of its perceptual orientation and pleasure-seeking function. Because of its vast market and the existence of cultural industry, it is bound to be produced in batches as a consumer product to meet the requirements of consumers and the profit needs of cultural merchants. This kind of product, which only pays attention to perceptual pleasure and is copied in batches, inevitably has the characteristics of vulgarity and no personality, and will be replaced by new fashion once it is popular. This perceptual popularity and cultural communication that can be copied and mass-produced for mass consumption will inevitably bring great and indelible influence to the social lifestyle.
affect the lifestyle of teenagers. Lifestyle, in the simplest terms, is to answer people's questions about how to live. If we define it, then lifestyle refers to the sum of life activities and behavior characteristics that people living in different societies and times have formed to meet their own needs under certain social conditions and under the guidance of certain values. This concept includes three essential elements: the living conditions; The subject of life activities; Forms of life activities. The living conditions of teenagers' lifestyle are the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea and the infiltration of strong Korean culture; The main body of their life activities is teenagers; Its life activity form is "Ha Han". This popular cultural form created by "Korean Wave" with entertainment as its purpose, technology as its means and cultural commodity production not only builds a brand-new way of life and survival for young people, but also profoundly influences and changes their cognition, emotion, thought and psychology.
affect the aesthetic style of teenagers. The influence of "Korean Wave" on teenagers' aesthetic style is: first, the aesthetic pursuit is perceptual. The essential feature of "Korean Wave" is flat, and there are not many lofty pursuits, at least not taking the pursuit of loftiness as its own responsibility. Idealism has been impacted, both in the East and the West, and even the mainstream ideology has been ignored. Heroism is neglected, and teenagers are more inclined to accept intuitive images. Reading pictures has become the most important way for teenagers to read, and graphics and images have become the most frequently contacted media; Pictures have become the protagonists of magazines, and words have become dispensable to some extent. The pursuit of visualization in "Korean Wave" makes teenagers pay more attention to the intuitive experience of culture and exile their ideological significance. The second is the vulgarization of aesthetic taste. The vulgarization of teenagers' aesthetics is manifested in their choice of aesthetic objects, and in the neglect of classical and serious literature and art. In the aesthetic way, they pursue simplicity and directness, and in the aesthetic emotion, they no longer advocate implicitness and simplicity, but pursue explicit relationships between men and women and money, which also brings secular tendencies in teenagers' behavior, daily life and social communication.
affect the way of young people to become talents. Teenagers' world outlook, outlook on life and values have not yet been finalized, and their thoughts are the most active and sensitive to social trends, but their rational choice ability and right and wrong discrimination ability are weak, so the negative influence of "Korean Wave" on their way to success is greater, which is manifested in the utilitarian and secular characteristics of teenagers' view of success. In today's market economy, more and more teenagers regard personal income and social status as signs of success in life. Contemporary teenagers believe in the power of money and power, and this utilitarian consciousness and the interest-driven nature of their behavior embodies the spiritual characteristics of contemporary teenagers' "materialism". They rely more and more on material satisfaction and pursue secular happiness. They seldom pursue those famous talents, scientists and political leaders, but worship secular stars, such as Ahn Jae Wook and Kim Hee Seon. The dazzling aura of stars attracts them deeply, and the success of stars is the dream of millions of teenagers in Qian Qian. So we can see that teenagers show the lack of idealism and the dilution of rational value. Some teenagers actually want to get the same eyes as Kim Hee Seon. This reflects their admiration and imitation of the successful way of "opportunism" and "overnight fame".
The influence of "Korean Wave" on young people's way of becoming talents is also reflected in their admiration for "cool" fashion, and their success is to play cool. Teenagers express "cool" as an attractive phenomenon and a level of appreciation. They unilaterally think that it is "cool" to act as a computer hacker; As a killer, "running with the bulls" is "cool"; The underworld boss is also "cool". In a word, they think "cool" is a challenge, a kind of courage, an ability, an independent and distinctive feature. It can be seen that "cool" meets the psychological needs of teenagers to show their individuality, but extreme "cool" makes teenagers lose their "self" step by step, their perceptual ability is abnormally enhanced, and their rational ability is shrinking day by day. They have lost their own outlook on success, "follow their feelings" and "die if they are addicted". Their cynical attitude, abandoning their ideals and moral pursuits and losing their sense of realistic responsibility have led to the emergence of irrational subconscious, life consciousness and sexual consciousness, while cognitive reason and moral reason have been annihilated.
Teenagers are the flowers of the motherland and the successors of the socialist cause. Their healthy growth is related to the long-term stability of the country and the rise and fall of the socialist cause. Therefore, the interpretation of "Korean Wave" and China teenagers is still a topic that is far from over.
