ABSTRACT
Vocabulary is a collection of all words in a language system. Words that exit the historical stage are not completely "dead", but exist in the form of "dormant". Dormant words have different manifestations in terms of time, scope, and method. Social development, historical culture, and psychological cognition are the main motivations for the activation of dormant words.
