What languages were popular in the 1980s?

The 20 most popular words in the 1980s.

1, ten thousand households

The fourth issue of Half-monthly Talk 1985 reported that Pandi Village in Wuxian County, Guangxi became rich in four or five years. All the 30 households in the village are 1 10,000 yuan, except the original five-guarantee household Aunt Liu's annual income of 2,000 yuan. This small village is called "small treasury".

Ten thousand households were not only fashionable words in the early 1980s, but also the first people to get rich. Many towns and industrial and commercial departments regard the number of households with 10,000 yuan as a glorious indicator. Although it sounds a bit like putting a satellite in the past, it has made more civilians feel the unprecedented joy of getting rich. Speaking of thousands of households, everyone's eyes are bright! Ten thousand households are generally composed of individual farmers, construction contractors and individual industrial and commercial households who have completed individual contracting first. They rely on courage and hard work, not knowledge or quality, in the initial stage of economy. We can also recall the scene where "ten thousand households" were invited to give lectures: they really had no culture and no social status before, so it was inevitable that they were incoherent. They are even a little nervous and confused because of such a grand welcome party that they have never met in their lives, but their hard entrepreneurial journey touched everyone and gave people profound enlightenment.

Now the times have changed. The most popular saying is that100000 households have just started,1000000 households are average, and1000000 households are considered rich. Ten thousand households sound like poor people.

2. Individual and professional families

Since the early 1980s, the concepts of "self-employed" and "professional households" have been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

When the self-employed first appeared, they were despised by many people. Therefore, their rights and interests are not well protected, and most of them are small enterprises that are not environmentally friendly. At that time, many people often used it to scare children who didn't study hard: "Look at your strength, if you don't study hard, I'll let you practice stalls in the street and be self-employed!" "There is also a popular saying:" If a big girl wants to experience life and practice drinking, she should quickly find a self-employed person to marry. "Later, many small-scale self-employed people made a fortune and became rich. People's ideas have changed, from initial disdain to full-faced envy.

Specialized households refer to families that break the concept of "small but complete" and specialize in a certain business. It is the embryonic form of agricultural specialized commodity production in China, and its development has found a new way for a large number of surplus labor. People began to look farther, no longer take care of everything, grab their eyebrows and beards, focus only on more profitable jobs, and taste the sweetness from them. By the mid-1980s, the word "specialist" had become very popular in society.

3, the spirit of women's volleyball

Volleyball World Cup, World Volleyball Championship and Olympic Volleyball Competition are the three major volleyball competitions representing the highest level in the world. From 198 1 to 1986, China women's volleyball team won the honor of "five consecutive championships" in the world series and wrote a glorious page in the world volleyball history. 198 1 year 1 1 month, the third women's volleyball world cup was held in Japan, and China won the championship, which opened a new chapter in China's big ball turn. In the following years, the contestants made persistent efforts and won the championship for five consecutive years. Since then, the "women's volleyball spirit" has been passed down from mouth to mouth.

"Women's Volleyball Team Spirit" was once regarded as the benchmark and motto of China athletes in the 1980s, which inspired their fighting spirit and enthusiasm. The most important reason why this spirit is respected by Chinese people is the spirit of not being afraid of strong enemies and striving for strength, which is far more inspiring than the "five consecutive championships" itself.

4. Five stresses, four beauties and three loves

198 1 February, People's Daily published an editorial calling on young people to combine "five stresses and four beauties" with "three loves" to build our socialist motherland stronger and better.

In the 1980s, I liked to shout slogans, and "five stresses, four beauties and three loves" became the most digital classic language. "Civilization, courtesy, hygiene, order and morality", "beauty of mind, language, behavior and environment" and "love for the party, the motherland and socialism" are the most direct, popular and catchy quality education we have received since childhood. At that time we not only shouted, but also practiced devoutly. Every day, more flies are killed than anyone. See who has a little dirty thing on his clothes, who is aiming at swearing, and report to the teacher quickly.

Therefore, this slogan, which has influenced a generation, has been branded with the brand of the times, as well as the early calls of "The world belongs to you", "Young intellectuals go to the countryside", "One red heart, two preparations" and "Start from me and start from now", and has become a kind of flaunt and commemoration.

5. Pot rice

"Big pot rice" is an image metaphor of egalitarianism in distribution. Including two aspects: first, enterprises eat the "big pot" of the country, that is, regardless of good or bad operation, profit or loss, wages are paid as usual, and the total wages of enterprises are out of touch with operating results; Second, employees eat the "big pot" of the enterprise, that is, within the enterprise, no matter how much employees do, whether they do well or not, it will not affect the individual salary distribution, and there is serious egalitarianism in salary distribution.

In the early 1980s, the market economy system was very imperfect. Workers crowded together and entered the soup of state-owned enterprises, and the government became a chef. This system has seriously suppressed people's enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, and largely lost the original vibrant economic vitality. In order to completely eradicate this malady, the central government has put forward the requirements: "establish various forms of economic responsibility system and conscientiously implement the principle of distribution according to work." After that, the slogan of "cross the rubicon" was shouted out vigorously, and people began to explore their tentacles in the business world, realizing the once mythical "get rich overnight". Therefore, since then, the whole economy of China has been "living" in "colorful" reforms.

6. Rush out of Asia

In the new era, China sports circles put forward a heroic battle slogan: "Rush out of Asia and go to the world." At the 9th Asian Games held in New Delhi in 1982, after 15 days of competition, 307 athletes of China Sports Delegation won 6 1 gold medal, 5 1 silver medal and 4 1 bronze medal in 18 sports. With such impressive achievements in the biggest sports event in Asia, the sports enthusiasm of the people of the whole country is unprecedentedly high, and more and more people support China sports to "go out of Asia to the world" and show the elegance of China people.

Since then, China athletes have won many successes in world-class competitions. Especially in the 23rd Olympic Games held in Los Angeles in 1984, 250 athletes participated in 16 events and an exhibition match. In the fierce competition, the athletes struggled tenaciously. In the end, China won 15 gold medal, which achieved a historic breakthrough, won honor for the motherland, and finally realized the wish of China people to "rush out of Asia and go to the world".

7. Leather bag company

A leather bag company refers to a service organization engaged in scientific and technological consultation. In the business boom, it also refers to some intermediary organizations engaged in the sale of goods.

In the 1980s, the old and new systems coexisted, and some policies were imperfect, which provided opportunities for some people who had neither funds nor business premises and fixed jobs. In the upsurge of doing business, a number of so-called "shell companies" have emerged. They use stamps and contracts to speculate in the fields of consultation and circulation. For a time, the leather bag company was notorious. In fact, the vast majority of leather bag companies engaged in consulting services have played a very good catalytic role in invigorating science and technology and economy.

However, there are more and more people with empty gloves and white wolves. Some people pass off their own goods. If they cheat a little, they will leave at once. Others grab a few people casually, rent a storefront, and blatantly cheat under the guise of a company. Therefore, since the mid-1980s, the state has resolutely cleaned up and rectified all kinds of fake "leather bag companies" in the circulation field. By the end of February 1989, more than 60,000 companies had been merged, accounting for 20.4% of the total number of companies, which restored the "leather bag company" to its original appearance.

8. Iron rice bowl

The "iron rice bowl" is an image of China, which has long implemented unified contracting and distribution, and only employees are allowed to enter but not to leave. Before the reform, enterprises have long implemented the employment system based on permanent workers, which is characterized by the following: the state is the main body of employment, and enterprises have no autonomy in employment; The establishment of labor relations is not through legal means, but through planned distribution; Employees have full employment security, and enterprises have no right to dismiss employees, but employees also have no autonomy in mobility. Usually, people call this employment system an "iron rice bowl".

However, with the promotion of the tide of reform and opening up, this system has changed from the initial guarantee to the bondage. Starting from their own management needs, enterprises strongly demand the reform of the mechanism of being able to enter and exit and having a single form of employment. 1983, the document issued by the Ministry of Labor and Personnel stipulates that when units under ownership by the whole people recruit new workers in the labor plan, they should conduct a comprehensive examination of morality, intelligence and physique and choose the best ones. From 65438 to 0986, the reform of the labor system took a key step, that is, the labor contract system was implemented among newly recruited workers. Later, it became common for workers to be laid off. As a result, China's decades-long "iron rice bowl" was finally completely broken, and the word "iron rice bowl" was rarely mentioned.

9. Wushu

Since Shaolin Temple became popular in China in 198 1, Jin Yong's martial arts novels became popular in 1982, and China people's interest in boxing and stick dancing is increasing day by day. 1983, with Huo Yuanjia recorded by Hong Kong Asia TV and dubbed by Guangdong TV, the theme song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and Huo Daxia's "Lost Boxing" became popular all over the country. Even in the remote mainland, young people can be seen humming broken Cantonese and gesticulating with Master Huo's moves.

10, Reader's Digest

On the other hand, after more than a year's initial development, Reader's Digest, a warm magazine in northwest China-now renamed Reader-stood out in this year and became a popular magazine in China at that time. This inspirational book, full of warmth, meaning and romantic affection, has unconditionally conquered the readers who are mainly young students and intellectuals. Today, more than ten years later, it has become one of the magazines with the largest circulation in China. The former "readers" can't help but feel ashamed when they recall the fanaticism at that time.

1 1, disco, aesthetics

198 1 The rapid popularity of disco music brings people strong sensory stimulation. This kind of rhythmic black music has a great market among young people in China. At least before China's rock and roll appeared and was widely accepted, disco was actually an indirect explosion and direct release of young people's inner repression. More ambitious young people began to study aesthetics in droves, and amateur opinions about "the essence of beauty" can be seen everywhere. Many professors who came from abroad to give lectures in China were surprised to find that there were hundreds of listeners in a boring aesthetic lecture. Although people soon found that aesthetics is not the same as the art they actually love, this year aestheticians enjoyed the glory when they moved on.

12, mobile phone

The word "mobile phone" originated in the south, but it quickly swept across the country and became a buzzword to show its identity.

In the old Shanghai underworld before the founding of New China, the leader was generally called "Big Brother", and later the word "Big Brother" generally referred to the highest authority figure in a certain field. In the early 1980s, the reform and opening-up first swelled the pockets of southerners, and it seemed that there were rich people everywhere overnight. Everyone has money, but they always share it, so the richest among the rich is called "big brother", which means one level higher than big brother. In the mid-1980s, the most advanced communication tool-wireless handheld automatic telephone began to enter the China market. Because of its high-tech content, only those "mobile" people in business can afford it, so the hand-held phone becomes more expensive with the owner and is named "mobile" figuratively. The meaning of "mobile phone" is quite clear: first, the fuselage is very large; Second, because it is big, it has an eye-catching show-off effect; Third, there are very few people, so the people who hold them are "cows"; Fourth, it is a flashy double mirror, which reflects the poverty of others and its own glory.

At that time, it was a great thing who held the "mobile phone". Some people are looking for a place to play, having a good time and spitting. Now with the progress of science and technology, mobile phones are getting smaller and smaller, and the so-called "mobile phones" have long since disappeared.

13, human body, talking about mountains

1979 10, those naked women on the murals in the waiting hall of the Capital International Airport once caused a shock beyond the human body itself. Nine years later,1988,65438+February, China Art Museum held the first exhibition of human body oil painting. Thousands of visitors (more than 12000 people per day) make the quiet art palace look like a big market. Although the real drama is yet to come, the dispute between models and painting academies is raging, but if people do not show such strong interest in the human body, at the same time, the "Kan" that has become fashionable this year because of the popularity of Wang Shuo's novels reflects a cynical social mentality. Some people parade in the city wearing "T-shirts", while more people are addicted to the oral pleasure of "talking about the change of mountains". All kinds of troubles and depression have been released in this ridicule.

14, the tide of migrant workers

"Migrant workers' tide" is a trend that farmers go out to work one after another. Every year around the first month of the lunar calendar, the mighty army of migrant workers runs from south to north, and the traffic of railways and highways is like water, interwoven into a "Spring Festival travel rush rush tide" that lasts for more than a month. In the past, people always said that the countryside was a big sponge, but now the "tide of migrant workers" comes out in waves, knocking on the door of the city. Since the reform and opening up, the tide of commodity economy has hit every corner, and it has also strongly shocked farmers facing the loess.

The contract responsibility system of joint production has solved the problem of people's food and clothing, and there are more and more surplus laborers on limited land. Some farmers who are dissatisfied with the status quo have packed their bags and left their homes for all parts of the world. As a result, the attractive scene of "sending one person out and lifting the whole family out of poverty" once appeared in the countryside, which also drove more farmers out of their hometowns and into cities, and finally surged into a wave.

The tide of migrant workers is a cross-century feat. Generally speaking, the inter-provincial flow of migrant workers is a great historical progress. This spontaneous adjustment and balance of labor force not only accelerates the pace of poverty alleviation in underdeveloped areas, but also greatly supports the economic construction in developed areas. Of course, due to the collision of cultures and drastic changes in lifestyles, migrant workers have brought vitality, chaos and conflict to cities and towns, as well as a series of problems that need to be solved urgently in urban and rural politics, economy, culture and population.

The tide of migrant workers is in the ascendant. Through the guidance and management of various channels, the flow of migrant workers tends to be orderly, showing a good situation of "the scenery here is unique". Society should cheer for these brave farmers.

15, acupoint selection

Xinmin Evening News 1989.4.24: "Today, some movie stars, dancers and singers, including the host of the program, also went to the cave below, or they may have a good time standing on the' wild platform'. However, people are not surprised to find that their brilliance is often blackened by a strong bourgeois atmosphere. "

"Going to the cave" is a new term that appeared in the entertainment circle in 1980s. According to the Modern Chinese Dictionary, the so-called "acupuncturing" means that "actors go out to perform privately for extra money". Obviously, "going to the cave" is an undisciplined profit-making behavior, which has long been criticized by the public.

16, go to sea

The word "going out to sea" was first used in China, which means doing business. It also means risk. At the beginning of reform and opening up, the market economy began to prosper and new free space was emerging. Some people, mainly government officials and employees of enterprises and institutions, give up their posts in the traditional system and turn to this new space to start businesses and seek development. This behavior is called "going to sea".

"Going to the sea" has driven some ordinary people to get rich and quickly rush to a well-off life. In China in the late 1980s, doing business was the dream and choice of a generation. From the early days of reform and opening up, the word "going out to sea" has been accompanied by China people along the way. Groups of people jumped into the business sea without hesitation and tried the water with their own bodies.

17, only child

Children without brothers or sisters. The physical and mental development laws of only children and non-only children are the same. However, in the process of children's socialization, there will be brotherhood.

After 1980s, China will stipulate that urban couples should have only one child as a basic national policy, and give priority to prenatal and postnatal care.

18, three good students

First, good ideology and morality. Love the socialist motherland, love the people, support the China * * * production party, enthusiastically serve the collective, take an active part in labor, respect teachers, unite students, abide by social morality, and consciously implement the daily code of conduct of primary code and primary school students, which can play an exemplary role among students.

Second, study hard. In other words, the purpose of learning the "four modernizations" is clear, the learning attitude is correct, the self-study ability is constantly improved, and the academic performance is excellent (more than 90 points in the lower grades, more than 85 points in the middle grades, and more than 80 points in the upper grades) or remarkable progress has been made.

Third, good health. That is, insist on exercising, actively participate in cultural and sports activities, have good hygiene habits, be in good health, and score above 75 points in sports (or reach the national physical training standards).

19, Shenzhen speed

This is a word used by Chinese mainland to describe rapid construction. This word comes from198211~1985 65438+2. In 37 months, a company of China Construction Third Division (Group Company) built the Shenzhen International Trade Center Building (hereinafter referred to as the International Trade Building), which was unique in China at that time. After the completion of Shenzhen International Trade Building, it was the tallest building in Shenzhen at that time and became a landmark of Shenzhen. The surrounding area was also called the International Trade Circle because of International Trade. At that time, the construction of Shenzhen was in full swing. After the construction process of international trade was reported, it became a typical example of Shenzhen's urban construction and was widely publicized. Therefore, "Shenzhen speed" and "three days and one floor" are commonly used words when the media mentions Shenzhen.

However, although the construction of Shenzhen International Trade Building is famous for its speed, not all construction units can imitate it. It is impossible to extend working hours every day in some places. Some of these conditions are natural factors, and some are unattainable. For example, due to the climatic reasons, the concrete solidification period in Shenzhen is much shorter than that in many cities in Chinese mainland, and the accelerator is added to accelerate the solidification during construction, so the concrete can be solidified faster by covering the upper layer after pouring. In addition, multi-layer floor formwork is used in the construction, so it is not necessary to dismantle the formwork to cover the upper layer after the lower layer is completely completed, which saves a lot of time.

20. Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time is one hour earlier than standard time. For example, during the implementation of daylight saving time, 10 am of standard time becomes 1 1 am of daylight saving time.

Daylight saving time, also known as daylight saving time or daylight saving time, is a system that artificially specifies local time in order to save energy. The unified time adopted in the implementation of this system is called "daylight saving time". Generally, in early summer, people can get up early and go to bed early by artificially advancing the time by one hour, which can reduce the amount of lighting and make full use of lighting resources, thus saving lighting electricity. Countries that adopt daylight saving time have different specific regulations. At present, nearly 1 10 countries around the world implement daylight saving time every year. Most time zones are located to the west of their ideal boundaries, which leads to the implementation of daylight saving time all year round. )

From 1986 to 199 1, People's Republic of China (PRC) implements six years of daylight saving time nationwide, from 2: 00 sharp on the first Sunday in mid-April (Beijing time) to 2: 00 sharp on the first Sunday in mid-September (Beijing daylight saving time). Except 1986 is the first year of daylight saving time, that is, from May 4th to September14th, all other years are implemented according to the specified time period. During the implementation of daylight saving time, put the time forward by one hour. 1992 will not be implemented after April 5.
