Abstract
Text message or SMS（short message service）, as one of the main means of communication in China, is shifting its role from mere communication media to multifunctional information media. It not only facilitates daily communication, but also assists the spread of emotion and culture. Though a technology popularized first among teenagers, text message developed very quickly to cover almost any age group within years. And in daily lives, we can see people use text for various activities like holiday greeting, weather report, news, on-line shopping, booking and so on. With SMS entering every aspect of our social and economic life, we are now embracing a new type of culture, i.e. text culture which embodies distinct epochal spirits.

Chapter 1 Introduction
A joke goes that the most nimble and flexible body part of a Chinese is his thumb, considering the astonishing number of texts sent per year in China. We are familiar with the scene that a person stops to edit short messages with eyes glued at his phone, regardless of his location, whether in a crowded market or beside a trash box. We are no stranger to people calling out at their friends at a bus stop or a train station “text me once you arrive”. And it’s often the case that a person who we rarely meet or call is a regular in our text list. Indeed, with the number of messages sent per person significantly exceeding the world average, text is among the most popular means of communication nowadays in China.
