Abstract
Internet terms have not only emerged as a result of the Internet's rapid and unprecedented development over the past few decades, but they have also become an integral part of contemporary linguistic expression. These terms have undergone significant evolution, adapting and altering in response to the dynamic online environment. Their presence is no longer restricted to technical jargon or niche communities. Instead, they have found their way into everyday conversations, regardless of age or location. This study intends to delve deeply into these internet terms, with a particular emphasis on the modern Chinese language, in order to uncover the cultural and social values they embody. Understanding the evolution of the Chinese language provides valuable insight into the nation's shifting cultural narratives and emergent social trends, given that the Chinese Internet community is one of the largest in the world. The objective is not only to document the symbiotic relationship between the Internet and linguistic change but also to comprehend its essence.
