The Language Lying Flat and Emotional Return of the Young Generation:Starting from the Discourse Evolution of Lying Flat
"Lying flat"has emerged as a significant expression of the image of young people in the contemporary era and serves as a means for the younger generation to alleviate their anxiety.Lying flat can be categorized into two types:action-oriented and language-based.Research reveals that contemporary youth exist within a continuum ranging from language-based to action-based lying flat,with a tendency towards the prevalence of language-based lying flat.The younger generation has not genuinely abandoned the pursuit of a better life.The sense of gain has become a core concept within the discourse of lying flat,and a low sense of gain causes unease among young people.Contemporary youth are in a state of withdrawal through lying flat,temporarily opting for it by escaping the texture of consumerist lifestyles.Lying flat youth justify their actions based on the state of lying flat,moving from resisting involution to rejecting competition in any sense.Simultaneously,lying flat is a short-term choice for the youth group with no elders to support and no children to raise.They are gradually returning to emotional responsibilities,rediscovering the value of family emotions,and attaining a sense of life beyond production.Lying flat youth,with"home"as their backing,have become a generation liberated from obligations,showcasing the fluctuations and conflicts within their hearts.Lying flat is an act of helplessness,yet they remain a generation that is responsible for themselves and others.Home serves as the support behind some lying flat youth and constitutes the spatial carrier of the intergenerational sharing of responsibilities.Both generations believe that establishing a family represents responsibility.The elder generation requires the younger generation to marry and form a family to pass on responsibilities,while the younger generation temporarily lies flat,considering themselves unable to be responsible for others.Additionally,the attitude of the elder generation towards the younger generation differs in the domains of family and society.The former involves the transfer of resources,while the latter becomes a competitive relationship.Lying flat youth have become a mirror image of contemporary youth,presenting the mental changes of young people in the torrent of social transformation.
