2. Did the ancients speak classical Chinese? The ancients spoke in a completely different way from us. If the ancients were resurrected, we would certainly not understand what they said. Now the southern dialect is closer to the ancient spoken language and retains a small number of ancient pronunciation methods, so the southern dialect is more difficult to understand, such as Wu dialect and Cantonese. Of course, there were dialects in ancient times.
There was also Mandarin in ancient times, which is the lingua franca equivalent to Mandarin now. It is a language that officials must learn in order to facilitate administrative communication, so it is called Putonghua. If ordinary people have a wide range of activities, they should also use Mandarin to facilitate communication. Of course, we don't understand Mandarin.
As far as written language is concerned, the classical Chinese you speak is a unified written language in ancient times and used by ancient literati. What you may say is that many folk people can't read and write, and literate people record according to their spoken meaning. Let me remind you that ancient historians do not collect history by the people, but only select materials from ancient books. The people you mentioned who are engaged in collecting folk languages may be poetry officials, that is, officials sent by the rulers to collect folk poems. The Book of Songs was written by these poets, and it was basically written in folk natural language, but the possibility of literary processing was not ruled out.
In short, to put it simply, written Mandarin is classical Chinese. In ancient times, there were also works written without Mandarin, such as Biography of Flowers on the Sea written in Wu language.
