Abstract

With the continuous development of new media platforms, the categories of short video have become various. Recently, one of the most popular short video category is the short videos with all the actors speaking dialect. Due to the vigorously promoting Mandarin in the mainland China, the use and spread of dialects has been hindered. However, with help of the prevalence of the dialect short videos, many Chinese dialects go back to the public. The rise of dialect short video will become a new form of spreading Chinese dialect and local culture. Why the dialect short videos can gain such popularity today is a question worth exploring. Therefore, this paper analyses the creation characteristics of dialect short videos on several new media platforms. According to the results of the research, the authors believe that the main reason for its popularity are the search for identity of the dialect users, the strengthened perceptibility of videos through the defamiliarization effect and the enhanced cultural power of the masses in participatory culture.
