The vernacular refers to a literary style based on modern Chinese. Its formation can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the development of the industrial revolution and the popularity of modern Chinese, it gradually replaced the traditional classical Chinese and became the main language for literary and academic exchanges. The emergence of vernacular Chinese made literary works easier to understand and accept. The emergence of the vernacular in Chinese cultural geography had a profound impact on the development of Chinese literature. With the help of the vernacular, Chinese literature spread more widely, allowing more people to read and appreciate literary works. At the same time, the vernacular language also laid the foundation for the process of Chinese literature's modernisation and promoted the rapid development of modern Chinese literature.
