Ancient times did use classical Chinese, but with the development of the times, classical Chinese has gradually been eliminated. Now, the ancient novels we come into contact with are usually in the vernacular or modern language. This is because many words and expressions in modern Chinese have changed. Different from classical Chinese, modern Chinese is more concise and clear, and more suitable for the needs of modern life. In addition, when filming a period novel, one also had to consider the needs of the audience. Modern people already had a certain understanding of classical Chinese, so it was easier for the public to understand and accept the vernacular. However, for those who have never come into contact with classical Chinese, it may be more suitable to use classical Chinese to better convey the historical background and characters in the novel.
