A cultural event allowing the public and language experts to round up the catchwords of the year have kicked off in Beijing.

The event will last from November 20 to December 7.

Yu Dianli, with the Commercial Press, says selecting catchwords of the year will help people better understand social changes.

"The words of the year selected over the past ten years have in fact recorded the changes of China and the world over the past decade. It has formed a unique 'history of culture' and vividly reflects social activities and daily lives of the people."

Chinese netizens are encouraged to recommend words of the year via Weibo, or WeChat, the social media platforms of the organizers.

Words such as "Second Child", Xi-Ma Meeting, military parade, and Internet Plus have been selected for further review.
