The word ACGN is widely used as the title of "overhead world" or dream world in ACGN cultural circle, but ACGN is not equivalent to the second dimension.
This usage began in Japan. The early Japanese animation and game works were all composed of two-dimensional images, and the pictures were flat, so they were called "two-dimensional world" for short, but "three-dimensional", that is, "the dimension of our existence", that is, the real world.
The second dimension refers to the aesthetic world imagined by human beings, which reflects the visual experience of abusing the viewer with various longings. In fact, the essence of the three-dimensional world is the vague yearning for dream life and the expectation for a better future.

1、ACGN
ACGN is the abbreviation of English Animation, Comic, Game and Novel. It is a new vocabulary expanded from ACG, which is mainly popular in China cultural circles.
The most common extended meaning of "secondary element" generally refers to ACGN. This usage focuses on the carrier of the secondary world, such as "What secondary works do you like" and "Daxiong is a secondary figure".
Although the secondary element can replace ACGN in most cases, it should be noted that the secondary element and ACGN are not exactly the same. The former emphasizes the difference between virtual and reality, while the latter emphasizes the genre of the work.
2. Personality culture
This meaning is a special meaning derived from the development of animation industry in China. At this time, the second element refers to "personality", "trend" and "youth", which is a new meaning given to the second element by China capitalists in order to speculate on ACGN industry. This usage is rarely used in ACGN circles, and "I can't afford it" is a mockery of this usage.
3. Meng Er culture
Meng Er is the abbreviation of Meng Er Yuan, which is often derogatory. This means that some immature anime fans are too deified to the second dimension and give it a new meaning. Similar to otaku culture, it is characterized by strong exclusiveness and superiority, such as "noble second element disdains to echo third element"
