“龙图”表情包的历史,其实是一段非常典型的中文网络“草根 meme”演化史。 大约在2013年前后,一张线条粗糙、造型像“龙”的表情图片在贴吧和QQ空间悄然流行。它原本只是某个网友随手涂鸦的“丑图”,但因为那种呆滞又莫名喜感的表情,被网友大量转发、改图和二次创作。没过多久,它便形成了一个独特的“抽象梗”文化圈。如今的“龙图”早已不是单纯的一张图,而是一整套由网友共创的文化体系。它既代表着中文网络的幽默感,也体现了草根创作如何在去中心化的网络中自然演化、不断重生。
The history of the "Long Tu" emoji package is a typical example of the evolution of grassroots memes online in Chinese. Around 2013, a crudely drawn dragon-like emoji quietly gained popularity on Tieba and QQ Zone. Originally a casually drawn, ugly image, it gained widespread popularity, with its dull yet inexplicably humorous expression. It soon became a unique "abstract meme" phenomenon. Today, the "Dragon Picture" is no longer just a single image; it represents an entire cultural system co-created by netizens. It embodies both the humor of the Chinese online world and the natural evolution and rebirth of grassroots creation within a decentralized network.
