Peace: no accidents and dangers, stability and security. From Han Feizi's ancient books, such as Jie Lao, "Calm and peaceful, I don't know the source of misfortune and happiness".
Joy: refers to joy and happiness. From "Preface to Poem Xiaoya Jingjing Zhee", "If a gentleman can grow up and educate people, then the world will be happy."
On the Internet spreading Chinese, on the morning of June 5th+February 25th, 2004, in a Christmas Eve blessing blog post, the words "peace" and "joy" were used at the same time for the first time. In the same year, 65438+February 29th, Sohu News "Seven Days Talk on the Straits: Peace and Joy in the Coming Year" also used these two words side by side.
However, for a long time after that, the word "peace and joy" was only used sporadically and did not spread widely. In this slow development process, two development routes are more important:
Qinghai People's Publishing House published the Love Song of Cangyang Gyatso edited by Long Renqing in 2008, in which the poem "I was a fairy at that moment, not for longevity, but for your peace and happiness".
From then on, "Peace and Joy" began to spread in the network literature circle (Douban, Tianya, etc. ); Also influenced by this poem, "peace and joy" began to spread among Buddhists and Buddhist lovers;
In 2008, the Christian song "He gives you peace and joy" appeared, and the word "peace and joy" began to spread among Christians in China.
In the process of communication, "peace and joy", as a daily greeting, can also be used as a blessing for the New Year and the Spring Festival, and has also begun to appear in TV dramas and literary works. In addition, this word is also used by Christians in religious activities such as prayer.
When the time came to the New Year's Eve of 20 18 12 3 1, the word "peace and joy" suddenly exploded, and its Baidu search index rose directly from 0 to 1702. On this day, the word "peace and happiness" has become a popular New Year greeting. 19 During the Spring Festival (February 4, 2019-/kloc-0), "Peace and Joy" ushered in a higher search index, reaching 3364.
As for why 18 suddenly became popular, it may be because of its long-term slow audience accumulation, which is also the characteristic of Internet communication. Suddenly, a niche thing became popular.
Later, during the annual New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, "Peace and Joy" will be widely used as New Year greetings. In addition, on weekdays, this word will be used more.
Corrigendum should point out that "peace and joy" does not come from the Bible. The Bible is not written in Chinese, but translated by the word "joy", which cannot be used as a source. The real source of these two words is in ancient books and documents, such as Xielao written by Han Feizi and Preface to the Book of Songs and Philosophy written by Xiaoya. With the development of the times, people gradually combine these two words as a way to express good wishes.
