What do you mean, salted fish?

The word "salted fish" originally meant salted and dried saltwater fish. But on the internet, "salted fish" is often used to describe those who are "dull", "lazy" and "not enterprising", which can be said to be a derogatory term. This usage comes from the characteristics of "salted fish" itself, because salted fish has no vitality after being salted and dried, so it has become a word used by many people to describe themselves or others as "worthless" and "lifeless".

"Salted fish culture" is becoming more and more popular among young people. On some platforms such as live broadcast and short video, many "salted fish" talents have attracted many fans through creativity and interest. These people may not have much pursuit and ambition, but they find a different sense of existence in ordinary daily life and become the representative of another way of life. This cultural form also seems to reflect the attitude that young people gradually attach importance to the quality of life and slow life.

The life style or spirit of salted fish may give people a negative impression, but it is undeniable that it also brings some enlightenment. For example, salted fish does not insist on the identity and responsibility that they want or are praised by others. On the one hand, they are not affected by the "busy" state, on the other hand, they do not refuse the beauty of slow life. This may be the place where the spirit of salted fish can be used for reference, that is, you can imagine and understand life more without blindly pursuing superficial success and busyness.
