The "quantity" on the network is actually "involution", which means that after reaching a certain form in a development stage, human society is stagnant or cannot be transformed into another advanced model. Inner Volume was first used to study rice agriculture in Java. In colonial and post-colonial Java, agricultural production remained unchanged for a long time and never developed. Simply repeating simple reproduction can't improve the unit per capita output value.

What do you mean by volume?

Huang Zongzhi used the concept of "involution" when he studied the economic development and social changes in China in his book Small Peasant Families and Rural Development in the Yangtze River Delta. He called the growth without development "involution", and obtained the way of total output growth by investing a lot of labor on limited land, that is, the way of diminishing marginal benefits.

The "involution" is really popular because college students have exploded several pictures of "involution" in the circle of friends: some people are reading books on bicycles, some dormitory beds are full of books, and some even use computers to write papers while riding bicycles. Later, popular words such as "watching computer while riding a bike" and "Tsinghua Wang Juan" appeared in hot searches, and related emoticons also appeared in many social software for college students.

From June 5438 to October 2020 10, the reporter found that "involution" was a common phenomenon among college students. For example, a teacher requires 5000 words for paper assignments, but many people choose to write 8000- 10000 words or more in order to get better grades. Finally, almost everyone's homework greatly exceeded the teacher's requirements, and the proportion of students who can get full marks is fixed.
