Emoji culture is a mainstream culture with the increase in network social communication. Emoji is an evolution of the network language. Its emergence and popularity is related to its specific "living environment". The pursuit of eye-catching, novelty, banter and other effects is consistent with the extending individuality and funny mentality of young people. The reason why emoji can spread widely is that it makes up for the boring and inaccurate communication through words, and thereby effectively improves the efficiency of communication. Some emojis have the function of replacing words, and can also save the typing time. With the popularity of smart phones and the wide use of social apps, emoji has already appeared frequently in people's chat online.
There is a lot emoji package abroad, but the western emoji package tends to be a simple picture, unlike the emoji package used by Chinese. Chinese people prefer graphic combination, and the emoji packages in other countries are not so exaggerated. Their emoji packages are small, usually are used to express pure emotion, such as happy or doubt. People like to use emojis, especially in western countries. We can find that almost everyone would use an emoji in each sentence in their text messages. Even emoji was invented by foreigners, but it seems they prefer simple expression, rather than graphic combination. Chinese netizens are creative, they create a lot of emojis that contains all kinds of emotions. Chinese people is now famous for its creative and artistic emoji package.
3.2 Emotional expressions are diverse in different situations
Phlippe Schyns and his colleagues (2012) refuted the universality of basic emotions represented by Ekman through the dynamic video. In short, static pictures are too exaggerated to well reflect the situation in real life. For example, according to Ekman, westerners and easterners can judge the happy mood from the same smile photo. But Schyns believes that this static picture contains a lot of information, so everyone can judge it. But in real life, emotional expressions change gradually. People in different cultures have different understanding of the same emotion despite the general similar direction in interpreting it.
According to the study of semiologists, when people send emoji, sometimes they send it just because they have nothing to say. In this case, emoji is not so much as a carrier of emotion as it assumes a new function. People can maintain basic conversational relation at a low cost by means of using emoji.
When people are unwilling to think about how to choice the right wording; or they are not interested in or disagree with the other party’s topic, and meanwhile they are also reluctant to spend too much energy to explain what they think; or they are distracted at the last turn and have no intention to inquire, and hope to continue the conversation directly; or people subconsciously cover up with an exaggerated emoji, as a compensation for their inattention. Sending a simple smiley face sometimes is to inform the other party: "I have received your message, but I don't know how to reply you." This expression seems to be much better than no reply in complete silence. The social network traps everyone in the overload of friend circle world in which everyone has unprecedented "acquaintances". We are increasingly feeling that our limited energy is unable to cope with such a massive dialogue network, thereby, emoji comes into being at this time.
