Who proposed the vernacular first?

Morality was first proposed by human beings. Different cultures and historical periods have different moral concepts and philosophical thoughts. However, in general, morality is a kind of norm and criterion formulated by human beings according to their own values and codes of conduct to guide people's behavior and decision-making. Different cultures and religions had different understandings and definition of morality. For example, the concepts of benevolence, righteousness, and propriety in Confucianism were a basic definition of morality.

Hu Shi was one of the pioneers of the vernacular movement. In 1913, he published the "Manifest of the Vernacular Literature Movement" and proposed the concept of "literary revolution", advocating the replacement of classical Chinese with vernacular Chinese, laying the foundation for the modern Chinese literature.

The Belgian priest and astronomer Georges Lemaître was one of the first to propose the idea similar to the Big Bang. He suggested that the universe began from a 'primeval atom' and then expanded.

In the West, the first person to propose the concept of curriculum was the ancient Roman philosopher, Julian Barney. In his book, Learning and Knowledge, he proposed the concept of curriculum. He believed that curriculum was an educational method to help students acquire knowledge and skills through systematic learning and teaching. Baines believed that the curriculum should be a structured, planned, and organized way of learning to help students better understand knowledge and master skills.

The first person who proposed the term 'Chinese nation' was Liang Qichao. In 1905, Liang Qichao published The Origin of China's Weakness, in which he mentioned the concept of the Chinese nation and believed that the Chinese nation was a race with a long history and culture, and one of the greatest countries in the world. This concept was then widely quoted and accepted by other scholars as an important concept in modern Chinese politics and culture.

The Four Great Classics were first proposed by the Ming Dynasty novelist Cao Xueqin. Cao Xueqin was a novelist in the Ming Dynasty. He wrote the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, which was considered a classic in the history of Chinese literature. The four great masterpieces involved in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' were 'Journey to the West',' Water Margins','Romance of the Three Kingdoms', and' Dream of the Red Chamber'.

The concept of time travel could be traced back to the ancient Chinese Rites of Zhou, which had the description of "expecting me to be in Qi". It meant that people in the future would achieve their goals by traveling through time. At the end of the 19th century, Faulkner wrote his first time-travel novel, The Sound and the Fury. This novel was first published in 1925 and it tells the story of a young man who became a major breakthrough in the literary world at that time.

The first person to write vernacular Chinese was Sherlock, the inventor of movable type printing during the Song Dynasty.

It is difficult to determine who was the first person to write vernacular Chinese because the definition of vernacular Chinese refers to people who use modern Chinese vocabulary and grammar to express old cultural ideas or stories. During the Qing Dynasty, a man named Qian Xuantong wrote a book called Collection of Fictions, which contained a large number of vernacular novels and was regarded as the pioneer of modern vernacular novels. However, because the definition of vernacular was not widely accepted at that time, Qian Xuantong could not be considered the first person to write vernacular.

Vernacular Chinese refers to words that are easy to understand and express simple and clear expressions. Its appearance can be traced back to ancient Chinese literary works such as Dream of the Red Chamber. But the first person to clearly define the vernacular may be difficult to determine.
