In recent years, the word "blocked" has appeared frequently in the media in Mainland China. "Blocking" is widely used in various fields, and the object of blocking is also diverse. There are people, things, action behaviors, and even abstract concepts, but they have one thing in common: they all have negative meanings. The author quotes a large number of examples from major networks and newspapers, based on the perspective of social and cultural context, using empirical methods, mainly from the "blocked" source and meaning. Analyzing the reasons of epidemic spread of the word ‘blocked’, the author describes the socio-cultural psychological characteristics reflected in this process, does a theoretical analysis of "blocked". It is the objective need of social development and the development of language itself; therefore, the "blocked" epidemic is not only a linguistic phenomenon, but also a social phenomenon, which reflects certain social, cultural, and psychological characteristics.
