The Chinese wordShanzhai means a small mountain village， but now it bees an accepted name for fakes(假货) after Shanzhai cell phones produced by small workshops in southern China ，became popular in the mainland market over the past few years.
Besides Shanzhai electronic products， there are Shanzhai movies， Shanzhai stars and even a Shanzhai Spring Festival Gala， a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve.
Shanzhai has bee a culture of its own，symbolizing anything that imitates something famous.
The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
In southwestern China's Chongqing Municipality，a Shanzhai -versionBird’s Nest woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and theShanzhai-version Water Cubeis popular with tourists too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
Xie Xizhang，a literature critic，said that taking the Shanzhai Gala as an example， when the traditional CCTV program bees less and less attractive to the audience， the Shanzhai version appears naturally to attract people.
In spite of its poor techniques and operation， ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological demands of mon people and could be a fort to their minds, Xie said.
Tian Huiqun，a professor at Beijing Normal University，said that Shanzhai culture never copies classic things，only trendy products. In that sense，it's like a puter virus， multiplying without meaning.
Though controversial，Shanzhai culture is being a widely accepted phenomenon.
To the mainstream culture, the rise of ‘Shanzhai' culture is a challenge as well as a motivation， said Xie.
Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.
