Abstract

The "fan circle" is the product of the iterative upgrading of the star-chasing culture in the Internet era. It has a significant negative impact on college students who grow up in a pan-networked social environment, resulting in college students being coerced by the "fan circle" culture and gradually forming a "fan circle thinking". In order to curb the spread of adverse consequences such as the deviation of college students ' concept of right and wrong, the vulgarization of world outlook, the deformity of consumption concept, and the challenge of orthodox ideas, this paper analyzes the causes from the dimensions of college students' spiritual needs, the subjective conditions of the formation of "fan circle thinking" and the external environment, and puts forward that colleges and universities and the government should pay attention to the mental health of college students, improve the media literacy of college students, and rectify the chaos of "fan circle", so as to avoid college students falling into irrational star chasing or idol worship, and guide them to establish correct values.
