Abstract

The Chinese character “Yun” is a pictographic character in oracle bone inscriptions, whose original meaning is cloud, which refers to a physical phenomenon in nature.With the development and change of vocabulary, the meaning of“Yun”is becoming more and more abundant.In addition to the traditional meaning summarized in dictionaries of past Dynasties, it also derives a new meaning, which is endowed with semantic features such as [+ Internet], [+ mass], [+ remote], [+ virtual] and [+ sharing].The evolution of the meaning of“Yun”is the result of the comprehensive effect of language itself, social era and cognitive psychology, which not only enlarges the rational meaning of “Yun”, but also changes its color meaning and grammatical function.
