Why use the vernacular instead of the classical Chinese?

The classical Chinese and the vernacular Chinese were two different ways of writing, each with its own characteristics and development process. The classical Chinese was a form of written expression in ancient China that originated from the pre-Qin period and matured in the Han Dynasty. With its unique grammar and expression, classical Chinese shows a high degree of specialization and rigor. It is often used in ancient academic works, official documents, and literary works. The classical Chinese had gone through many evolutions and gradually developed into a part of modern Chinese. For example, the idioms and two-part sayings in modern Chinese were the variants of the classical Chinese. The vernacular was a form of modern Chinese that originated from the late Qing Dynasty and matured in the early 20th century. The vernacular language, with its unique spoken language and expression, shows a kind of easy-to-understand and flexibility. It is often used in modern novels, prose, poetry and news. The development of vernacular Chinese was influenced by the social background at that time, such as the acceleration of the process of industrialization, modernisation and urban development, as well as the arrival of the cultural revolution. The classical Chinese and the vernacular Chinese are two different ways of writing, each with its own unique characteristics and development process.

In the Dacheng period, classical Chinese novels appeared instead of vernacular novels because they had advantages in inheritance and development. The advantage of classical Chinese novels in terms of inheritance was that they could retain the classic sentences and plots in the novel so that readers could better understand the thoughts and emotions in the novel. These classic sentences and plots could be repeated and quoted in the process of inheritance, thus continuously developing and growing. The advantage of the vernacular novel in terms of inheritance was that it could better transmit information and exchange ideas. Because vernacular novels are usually spread in oral form, they are more likely to be limited by language and cultural background, resulting in some limitations in the transmission and exchange of information. In contrast, classical Chinese novels could be written in classical Chinese to make them more expressive and persuasive, and to better convey information and exchange ideas. Therefore, in the Dacheng period, classical Chinese novels had more advantages in inheritance and development than vernacular novels, so they were more likely to appear.

The difference between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese was mainly due to their different grammar, vocabulary, and expressions. The grammar of classical Chinese was relatively complex, including the usage and matching of terms, verb, adjectives, etc., all of which had their own unique rules. On the other hand, vernacular Chinese was relatively simple. It used a more oral expression and had a relatively simple grammar structure. The vocabulary of the vernacular is not as rich as that of the classical Chinese. Many of the words in the classical Chinese have been abandoned or used less in the vernacular, so there are relatively fewer commonly used words in the vernacular. There were also differences in the way of expression between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese. The classical Chinese tended to express abstract concepts and profound meanings, while the vernacular paid more attention to expressing specific meanings and plots. In addition, the expression of classical Chinese was relatively formal while vernacular Chinese was more oral and casual. The differences between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese are caused by their grammar, vocabulary, and expressions.

The classical Chinese appeared earlier than the vernacular because it was a more ancient way of writing. In the early days of human society, people used hieroglyph to express the shape and characteristics of things by drawing symbols.

In contrast, vernacular was a form of written expression that appeared with the development of modern human society. The vernacular was originally evolved from the Beijing dialect and dialect. This kind of written expression expressed ideas in the form of spoken language, which made it possible for it to spread quickly and adapt to the development of society. Therefore, classical Chinese appeared earlier than vernacular Chinese mainly because classical Chinese needed to use symbols to express the appearance and characteristics of things, while vernacular Chinese only needed symbols to express the meaning and concept of things.
