Tuhao
Tuhao () refers to the mainland Chinese people who are rich but uncultured. They are often described as missing the corresponding good taste, manners and sophistication to go with their accumulated wealth. In short, tuhao could be understood as the "uncouth nouveau riche". ''Tu'' () means "tacky" and ''hao'' () means "rich".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="tuhao"(nouveau riche) become wildly popular in China )〕
==Origin and transformation in uses==
The term ‘tuhao’ was originally used in ancient China, dating back to the Southern Dynasty 1500 years ago. During the communist cultural revolution from 1920 to early 1950, it was used to describe and refer to rural landlords or landholders who bullied those beneath them in the social class, known as the countrymen.
Before August 2013, ‘Tuhao’ was a popular internet slang used to describe irrational and over-consumed online game players, who were also called ‘RMB warriors’ as they use RenMinBi(RMB) to purchase game equipments and suppress other normal players who did not have the ability to purchase as much equipments. They won by their purchasing power rather than their online game techniques or tactics. Its usage has now extended to the daily life aspect. People who purchased a large amount of figures, models and luxury goods are also given nickname ‘Tuhao’.
The word ‘Tuhao’ has gone viral recently since its first appearance as a joke on the Chinese social platform Weibo on 2013: a young man asks a Buddhist monk, ‘I'm wealthy, but unhappy. What should I do?’ The Buddhist monk says, "Define 'wealthy.' " The young man answers, ‘I have millions in the bank and three apartments in central Beijing. Is that wealthy?’ The Buddhist monk silently holds out a hand. The young man says: ‘Master, are you telling me that I should be thankful and give back?’ Instead of being told to live a simple and happy life, the Buddhist monk replied ‘Tuhao, let’s be friends!” The joke implied that the tuhao’s wealth is so substantial that it even made a Buddhist monk greedy.
