+## Overview
+
+Trending Topic Operations (热搜话题运营) is the practice of planning, executing, and capitalizing on hashtag-based trending campaigns on public social media platforms — primarily Weibo in the Chinese market context.
+
+## Core Formula
+
+> **争议性 × 低参与门槛 × 情感共鸣 = 病毒级联**
+
+Translation: Controversy × Low Participation Barrier × Emotional Resonance = Viral Cascade
+
+## Key Principles
+
+### Topic Design
+- **Short and punchy**: 4-8 characters is ideal
+- **Contains suspense or controversy**: "Did XXX just flop?" beats "XXX New Product Launch"
+- **Emotional trigger words**: Shocking, unexpected, the truth, actually
+
+### Distribution Cadence
+
+| Phase | Timing | Action | Participants |
+|-------|--------|--------|-------------|
+| Warm-up | T-1 day | Teaser poster + preview post | Official account |
+| Ignition | T-day 0-2h | Core topic launch + KOL first movers | 3-5 top-tier KOLs |
+| Amplification | T-day 2-6h | Mid-tier creators + grassroots UGC | 20-30 mid-tier KOLs |
+| Consolidation | T-day 6-24h | Topic wrap-up + secondary distribution | Official + media accounts |
+
+### Trending Algorithm Mechanics (Weibo)
+
+Weight ranking: **timeliness > engagement volume > account authority > content quality**
+
+The trending lifecycle is typically **4-8 hours** — missing the window means the opportunity is effectively lost.
+
+### Trending Advertising Products
+
+- **Trending Companion**: Brand content displayed alongside trending keywords
+- **Brand Trending**: Custom branded trending slot occupying the entry point
+- **Trending Easter Egg**: Custom visual effect triggered by brand keyword search
