The contents of the study included statistical analysis of syllables and coinage forms in terms of morphology, including the current status and frequency of use of new words of ‘-zhu(族)’ by year in terms of quantitative linguistics. Therefore, this study paid attention to the initial generation, growth, and survival of new words. The newly coined word of the ‘-zhu(族)’ emerged from the 1980s and peaked in the 2013 period, and became the most frequently used newly coined word. For the research data, 163 ‘-zhu(族)’ data collected in the ‘newspaper’ area of BCC were used. Among the various areas of BCC, research data were collected by limiting it to human beings. The results of the study could be summarized the generation cycle of ‘-zhu(族)’ new words as the emergence period from 1980 to 1999, the growth period from 2000 to 2013, and the stabilization period after 2013. The one-year survival rate was 78.88% of the 161 new words to be analyzed, while the five-year survival rate was 54.48% of the new words survived, and the 10-year survival rate was 45.90% of the new words.
