It is said that the word "Jiong" was first popular in the BBS community in Taiwan Province Province, and it also began to spread rapidly in Chinese mainland, and gradually became popular among teenagers and internet groups in this area, and then it was introduced to Hong Kong. Recently, with the rise of network subculture, mainstream media began to try to introduce the word "embarrassing" as a news element, which began to produce effects in the film and advertising industries.
The word "Jiong" quickly became popular on the Internet with its seemingly frustrated regular script expression. Later, in Hong Kong, some netizens compared Hu Xinger, an actor in the TV series Gone with the Wind, with the word "embarrassed", commented on his acting skills and made a spoof, which made the word "embarrassed" more popular on the Internet. The pronunciation of "embarrassed" and "embarrassed" in Putonghua is homophonic, and the feeling of reading it is also easy to remind people of a dilemma, embarrassment and rapid popularity. He also uses the image of his words to express the meanings of "embarrassment", "helplessness", "unbearable" and "defeated". Inspired by Orz, some netizens used "Jiong" instead of "O" to make the head of "the lost body bends forward" more freehand, and wrote "Jiong rz" or even "Jiong rz=3" to exaggerate the meaning of helplessness. Someone even made a website with this word.
The popularity of the word "embarrassment" on the Internet has also caused some controversy. Some people think that Chinese characters should be respected and used to spoof obscenity, which is detrimental to the deep sense of China culture. However, some people think that paying attention to such rare words as "Jiong" is conducive to the spread of Chinese character culture. The reinterpretation of Chinese characters and square characters by network language is a positive cultural communication phenomenon.
