More DescriptionSince 2007, China Digital Times (CDT) has collected new words and turns of phrase invented by China's "netizenry," citizens of the Internet. Playfully evading online censors, netizens have created a world of "grass-mud horses" and "river crabs," roaming the "Mahler Desert" and forever locked in battle. CDT's Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon is a collection of politically-charged terms which represent netizen resistance discourse.
This ebook includes a selection of "classic" terms which have endured beyond the events which generated them. They are arranged by category, though some words could fit in more than one. Indices in alphabetical order by both English and pinyin are in the back. This is the netizen language you need to know to understand China's Internet.
