Such as the number one buzzword, the power of the flood. "The flood" originally refers to a state of chaos and ignorance, referring to ancient times.

"The power of the flood" became popular overnight, and is often used to describe the huge energy beyond imagination.
The second-ranked melon eaters. In real life, people often chew melon seeds while listening to people chatting. In online forums, people post to discuss issues, and there are often a bunch of people queuing up behind them. If you only watch the fun and don't speak, you are called "melon eaters". In order to speed up the input speed, "melon eaters" are referred to as "melon eaters" for short. Ordinary netizens who do not speak and only watch are called "melon eaters". Now the scope of use has expanded, and any onlookers who do not know about a certain issue or who deliberately remain silent can be called "melon eaters", not limited to netizens in online forums.
"Craftsman spirit" originally refers to the concept of craftsman crafting products and pursuing the ultimate. On March 5, 2016, Premier Li Keqiang said in the "Government Work Report" that enterprises should be encouraged to carry out personalized customization and flexible production, and cultivate the "craftsman spirit" of excellence.

The popular "small goal" now comes from the mouth of Wang Jianlin, chairperson of Wanda Group. He said in an interview on the topic of "many young people want to be the richest man in the world": "If you want to be the richest man in the world, this direction of struggle is right, but it is best to set a small goal that can be achieved first, such as I earn 100 million first." As for the "big goal" of "the richest man in the world", "100 million" is indeed a "small goal"; but for ordinary people, "100 million" is almost unreachable "astronomical number", so netizens complained. " "Small goals" quickly became popular on the Internet, and its meaning was exactly the opposite of its original meaning. It referred to "big goals" that were difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and it was mostly sarcastic and self-deprecating.
