* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
"Sang Culture" is a culture popular among Chinese youth. They use pictures, language and words to express dissatisfaction and pessimism emotion in different media. In this research, the authors want to find the influence of the development of "Sang culture" on Chinese youth, to see what let this culture be popular, to understand Chinese young people's views on this culture. The authors use interviews around different ages and places in Chinese youth to comprehensive understanding of the mourning culture in their eyes. From the interviews, the authors know that the culture of mourning is indeed widespread, mainly due to the pressure of life, studies and other aspects. Based on their judgment and other similar research, the authors believe that the culture of mourning will be replaced by a better culture. The reason why the authors can find its popularity and influence is decreasing. Comparing these interviewees’ age, the authors see younger are more not impact on their life. They also realize Sang Culture is not the best way to expire their pressure.
