"Can you freestyle?" has become an immensely①popular phrase on China's social network thanks to Chinese pop singer and actor Kris Wu.

Wu, 27, recently appeared on reality TV show The Rap of China as a judge.Each time Wu had to choose the winner, he had just one question for the contestants:"Can you freestyle?"

The pop star's humorous catchphrase was quickly adopted by Chinese netizens. Many began to follow him and use "freestyle"wildly on social media platforms like WeChat and Sina Weibo.

According to the Oxford Dictionary and Wikipedia,"freestyle"refers to a style of improvisation with or without instrumental beats, where lyrics are recited with no particular subject or structure.

The method of improvised rap was made popular by groups and artists such as Freestyle Fellowship and Eminem.

Now, "Do you have freestyle?" has morphed into other memes. Some internet users even adapt the buzzword into a variety of emojis, further promoting the use of "freestyle".

For instance, one of Chinese ancient philosopher Confucius's well-known sayings about self-introspection is:"Every day I do self-inspection on three aspects: Were my suggestions to others betraying his own perspective? Was my conversation with classmates and cobelievers not congruent with the facts? Or did I spread any idea without practicing it?"

Now, it has been reinterpreted as"Can you freestyle? Can you freestyle again? And can you be freestyled?"

由于中國流行歌手、演員吳亦凡的“功勞”，“你有freestyle嗎”成了中國社交媒體上一個極受歡迎的短語。

27歲的吳亦凡最近作為評委，出現在真人秀節(jié)目《中國有嘻哈》上。

每次吳亦凡選出勝者的時候，他對參賽者都只有一個問題：“你有freestyle嗎？”

他的這一幽默的話很快就被中國網民們學了去。許多人都開始學他，在微信、微博這些社交媒體上廣泛使用“freestyle”。

據《牛津詞典》和維基百科顯示，“freestyle”指的是一種沒有節(jié)拍的即興表演，歌詞沒有特定的主題或結構。

在Freestyle Fellowship樂隊和埃米納姆等藝人的帶動下，即興說唱變得很受歡迎。

而現在，“你有freestyle嗎”則已經成了另外的傳播方式。一些網民甚至為其配上各種表情包，進一步推廣“freestyle”的使用。

“比如，中國古代哲學家孔子有句關于自我反省的名言：“吾日三省吾身：為人謀而不忠乎？與朋友交而不信乎？傳不習乎？”

而現在，這一名言已經被改為：“吾日三省吾身：有freestyle嗎？還有freestyle嗎？有沒有freestyle？”
