What is micro-composition?

Micro-essays, Chinese words, are interpreted as Weibo's articles (micro-novels are one of them).

Micro-composition is characterized by short length, highly concentrated content and strong communication.

Micro-literature first started in the form of flash stories, and then expanded with the development of short messages, Weibo and other carriers. The concept of micro-literature is summarized by micro-literature studio, which is divided into micro-novels, manuscripts, micro-essays, micro-viewpoints and other branches.

Weibo literature is a form of displaying literary works in the form of Weibo. Its carrier is generally limited to Weibo platform, and its length is controlled around 140 characters. So Weibo literature is also a kind of micro-literature.

However, micro-literature is not limited to the creation of Weibo platform, and micro-literature works can be displayed in any traditional or online form. Some media or encyclopedia websites often confuse the concepts of micro-literature and Weibo literature, which has something to do with the current prevalence in Weibo. In fact, micro-literature is only a kind of traditional literature, and the main difference lies in length and readability, so it is more difficult to create Weibo literature.

Characteristics of "Microculture"

The emergence of "micro-culture" makes the cultural subject more inclined to the civilian class, and any public can produce and spread "micro-culture". In the "micro-era", the public created "micro-culture" with the help of computers and mobile phones.

Compared with traditional culture, "micro-culture" has a lower threshold and has become a popular form of cultural creation. Since the media and WeChat official accounts have mushroomed, they have occupied the mainstream of cultural creation and dissemination in the "micro-era". At the same time, in the "micro-era", cultural creation and dissemination are not divided by subject identity, and the public and social elites can express their views on the same platform.

In addition, with the development of the times, the public's recognition of social elites and opinion leaders decreases, but the views of ordinary people are more easily recognized, which also lays a solid foundation for cultural communication in the "micro-era".

The core of "micro-culture" lies in "micro-culture", and any tiny culture can be widely spread in the "micro-era". An expression, an exclamation, a picture and a paragraph are the main contents of "micro-culture". "Micro-culture" has a wide range of inclusiveness, and there is no requirement for the subject's language and writing skills, and there is no restriction on the subject, grammar and attitude.

Any content can be spread in the "micro-era", as long as the published views are recognized by the public, it is a popular "micro-culture". At the same time, due to the accelerated pace of life, "micro-culture" meets the public's demand for fragmentation time in a short and precise form, and the public can use fragmentation time to pay attention to their favorite cultural content, which promotes the further spread of "micro-culture".

Culture and communication are inseparable, and even the best culture has to influence others through communication. Compared with traditional cultural communication, the communication channels of "micro-culture" are more diverse, and the popularity of the Internet makes "micro-culture" present multi-directional, interactive, network-based and fission-like communication.

And it has the characteristics of "one-time collection, multi-form production and unlimited dissemination". Weibo, WeChat and various apps are all channels of communication, and likes, forwards and comments are all modes of communication. "Micro-culture" realizes the synchronous cultural communication between individuals and groups, virtual and reality, makes the acquisition and transmission of information more convenient, and forms a crisscross three-dimensional communication ecology.

At the same time, the spread of "micro-culture" is sticky. Taking WeChat group as an example, WeChat group brings together individuals with the same interests and hobbies, forming an isomorphism of information dissemination among them, and the frequency, channels and methods of cultural dissemination within the group have been significantly improved, accelerating the spread of "micro-culture".
