"Memes?" Yang Zhi listened, thought for a while, and replied: "I have heard a little, there are genetic genes in the human body, deoxyribonucleic acid, called genes, and all living things have such genes in order to maintain their genetic characteristics. ”

"Memes are derived from the word gene, which refers to the fact that there are some gene-like things in the culture, which can be imitated and copied, and can mutate and spread out by themselves, which is meme."

"For specific examples, such as popular hairstyles and popular clothing, they were all popular in a small area at first, and then after more people saw them, they felt that they wanted to imitate them, and they spread to ten, ten, ten, and gradually spread, which is a memetic phenomenon, and various memes on the Internet, which are also a kind of memetic phenomenon."

"You're very knowledgeable." Wind Shape Rain nodded, and she said, "What you said is generally true, but the memes you said are just ordinary concepts in the normal world, and this concept has a deeper meaning. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Zhi asked.

"I don't know if you've heard of a theory, that is, a nation, if it has no concept of something that actually exists, then even if this thing exists, the nation can't perceive it?"

Wind Shape Rain said.

"I haven't heard of it, how can I talk about it?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Memes, also known as memes, memes, memes, cultural genes, etc., are the units of cultural information inheritance. The current more accepted definition of meme is "the process by which an idea, behavior, or style is culturally transmitted from one person to another." The term refers to the process of cultural inheritance, which is analogous to the evolutionary reproduction rules in biology, such as common ancestors, evolution with environmental changes, survival of the fittest, and so on. Memes include religions, rumors, news, knowledge, ideas, habits, customs, and even slogans, proverbs, phrases, words, and jokes. ”

"This is the Wikipedia definition of meme, and in human terms, it can be simply interpreted as information that affects your spirit."

"For example, in Huaxia, there is a saying 'on fire', generally speaking, sometimes the throat is inflamed, and the body has some acne rashes, and the older generation of people will say that it is on fire, and they will let us drink herbal tea and take Chinese medicine to defeat the fire."

"And in European and American countries, they don't have the concept of fire at all, and the same thing happens to them, they don't think of the concept of fire at all, but they feel that it is inflamed and will take anti-inflammatory drugs, this is an example."

"Also, the concept of modern countries and nations in China originated very late, probably only in the last two hundred years, and no one paid attention to such a concept before."

And when this concept spread into China, in a short period of time, the people who stood on the side of the country and the nation occupied the righteousness and did a great cause, don't you think it's amazing? A concept that most people didn't know before, once it entered people's minds, it had such appeal and produced such great power. ”

"These examples can theoretically be discussed in the context of the 'memetic' phenomenon."

Wind Shape Rain said to Yang Zhi.

"Probably understood." Yang Zhi nodded, he looked at the wind-shaped rain, and said, "It's just, what does this have to do with the main god's wheel?" ”

Feng Xingyu didn't answer immediately, she took a sip of soul blood drink, slowly put down the cup, leaned forward slightly, and said to Yang Zhi: "If I say that the main god is a set of memes, do you believe it?" ”

"The Lord God is a meme?"

Yang Zhi was surprised when he heard this.

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Zhi asked to Wind Shape Rain.

"It's a long story, I'll try to be as simple as possible, you know, I'm a horror comic artist, my brother Fengxingyun is in charge of materials and text, and I'm in charge of drawing, did you tell you?"

Wind Shape Rain said.

"You said that." Yang Zhi nodded.

"Actually, our industry is also very competitive, although it is easy to mix and eat, but if you want to become popular, it is very difficult, my brother and I want to be excellent cartoonists in this field, and if you want comics to have lasting vitality, then the topic, materials, brain holes, painting work, etc., you must have more or less surpassing other competitors, otherwise, you can only try your luck."

"My brother and I often go out to get materials and go to all kinds of places that are not far away, and in fact, there are many places like this in Japan, and there are many original horror legends."

"At the time, my brother and I had just finished a horror manga, and when we finished it, we felt a little out of inspiration, so we wanted to travel around Japan and relax while gathering material for the new manga."

"So, through the information we searched on the Internet and the recommendations of friends, my brother and I learned that there was a completely closed mountain village in the Kansai region, and there were many myths and legends of the Middle Ages in Japan among the villagers, so my brother and I went there."

"We had a hard time finding the mountain village, which was completely unconnected to the train, so we took the bus at the last stop, then took a tractor there, and then changed to a donkey cart to find the isolated mountain village."

"There, as visitors, we were treated to hospitality, and unexpectedly the people there were very hospitable and we received a warm welcome."

"After that, my brother and I explained our intentions, and after listening to it, the people in the mountain village introduced us to a wizard from the mountain village."

"Who knows, that was the beginning of a series of horrific events."

"What happened to you?" Yang Zhi listened and asked Fengxingyu.

"A witchcraft ritual."

"The wizard, a man of about fifty-five to sixty years of age, asked us a lot of questions when he heard about our intentions, and my brother and I probably answered them to his liking, and he invited us to stay overnight, and told us many hidden rumors about the medieval mythological period."

"We went to gather materials, and naturally we were very happy, and stayed, and when night just fell, the wizard invited us to eat some special food, and invited us to smoke a special hookah."

"My brother and I agreed to come down so that we could smoke and listen to the wizards tell medieval horror stories, but then it happened very strangely."

Wind Shape Rain said this, with a look of fear in her eyes, and said, "My brother and I thought everything was normal at first, but as the night gradually deepened, we felt more and more that something was wrong. ”

"In the house in the mountain village, the light of the brazier flickered and dimmed, and as the story of the wizard deepened, a mysterious shadow began to appear outside the window, and I can assure you that in the dim firelight, I saw a woman passing by outside the window, and there was a terrible laugh, the wizard's expression became more and more weird, my brother and I both felt that something was wrong, the feeling of horror gradually spread, and the image of the wizard changed more and more strangely in our eyes, and finally ......"

"He has become a horn on his head and a tail behind him, looking like a devil!"
