"Classical Chinese" means "articles written in written language" and "vernacular Chinese" means: "written in commonly used straightforward spoken language." "Article".
Vernacular Chinese
In ancient my country, the same thing was expressed in spoken language and written language, which were different. For example, you wanted to ask someone if he had eaten. , expressed in spoken language, is “Have you eaten? ", and to express it in books and language, it is "Fan? ". "Fan Fou" refers to classical Chinese. In ancient my country, all articles were written in written language. Therefore, now we generally refer to ancient Chinese as "classical Chinese"
Classical Chinese is the treasure of Chinese culture. The ancients left us a large amount of classical Chinese. In China, the study of classical Chinese plays a large role in middle school Chinese courses.
Of course, the ancients from other countries also left a large amount of classical Chinese. .
What is classical Chinese?
1. Classical Chinese is undoubtedly wonderful.
The main body of traditional Chinese culture is classical Chinese. It can be seen that the history of China's modern civilization is still very short, and it is still necessary to deconstruct or interpret traditional culture for modernization, because the inheritance of traditional wisdom is based on the correct interpretation of classical Chinese.
2. Classical Chinese is knowledge. Yes, because classical Chinese is no longer a language, it is purely text. But classical Chinese is knowledge, and oracle bone inscriptions are also knowledge. Why not learn oracle bone inscriptions? By the way, it is precisely because oracle bone inscriptions are more primitive writing, so classical Chinese is the basis for further learning about oracle bone inscriptions and other traditional advanced writing (study).
3. Classical Chinese is also a skill. Chinese expressions, descriptions, combinations, transformations, metaphors, metaphors, deductions... fully embody the style of Chinese civilization in the expression of ideas. Master the physical structure of classical Chinese and have a deeper understanding of modern Chinese, and you will have "laws" to follow for the construction of new Chinese.
4. "Classical Chinese" is the opposite of "vernacular Chinese". The structure of the word is this: classical Chinese-文. The first "wen" is "writing" and "yan" is language. "Classical Chinese" refers to "written language". It illustrates two meanings: first, it indicates that the classical Chinese text is a kind of language; second, this language was later literalized. "Literalized" language also has two meanings: first, a culture that can have language but no writing, for example, most ethnic minorities only have language but no writing; second, the language function withdraws from life and becomes history in the form of writing.
The literal meaning of "classical Chinese" should be: a style of language that has been written down. The "wen" at the back refers to the style of writing.
So apart from archaeological research, does classical Chinese have any "future"? In other words, what other application value does it have in life? I think there is. When the traditional form of life fades into modern society, it is only that people ignore the social life in some marginal areas, which causes modern applications to doubt or ignore classical Chinese. For example, in religious construction, some inscriptions are still written in classical Chinese, written in calligraphy, and engraved using tools. This is also the case for most applications of seal script.
Looking further, classical poetry belongs to the category of "classical Chinese", and they have not left us in life. It's just that in terms of language form, Zhihu has also left the spoken word. After it became written, it obviously has definite normative requirements for the refinement of techniques and the expansion of meaning. Its "prospect" lies in its application and its ability to awaken ambiguous etymology and allusions. It can be said that the future is promising.
The term "classical Chinese" can also encompass the cultural and historical relationship between language and writing. In a certain form, once a certain language - including dialects - is "wen" or literalized, that is, written, the charm of its language is suddenly reduced, while the function of writing is doubled. Because language is usually passed down orally and is closely related to life, language has not yet entered a cultural state. It is a preservation of life experience and does not have the extended performance of words.
In the process of reading classical Chinese, we will inevitably have an illusion: Did people in ancient times also say this? I think this can be "feeled" by the difference in expression between written language and spoken language in the present tense. There is no big difference in structure and rules between them. It can also be speculated that the ancient people's speech was just more casual and more popular than classical Chinese. The "three words and two beats" can also be used as a reference. As for when we read classical Chinese today, of course it does not mean that we are repeating what the ancients said, but that we are reciting or silently reading a literary style.
When reading classical Chinese, you feel a very clear line of thought, just like occasionally reading the works of Western philosophers, which has the solemnity it deserves. 4. What does "Yu" mean in classical Chinese?

The wind and smoke are all pure, the Tianshan Mountains are beautiful. Drifting in the current, anything. A hundred miles from Fuyang to Tonglu, there are strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world.
The water is all pale blue, thousands of feet deep. There are fish and rocks swimming around, which are unobstructed even if you look directly at them. The rapids are like arrows, and the waves are as fierce as running.
On the high mountains between the banks, there are all cold trees, competing with each other, competing for heights, hundreds of peaks. The spring water stirs the rocks, making a cool sound; the good birds sing to each other, and their chirping becomes a rhyme. The cicada spins endlessly, while the ape cries endlessly. Those who fly violently to the sky look at the peaks and calm their minds; those who are economical in world affairs look into the valleys and forget to rebel. The top of the horizontal keel is covered, and it is still dim during the day; the sparse strips overlap, and sometimes the sun can be seen.

What does location mean in classical Chinese? What does location mean in classical Chinese?
Location: place, place; place of existence.
In classical Chinese, any structural particle "suo" followed by a verb or preposition is a "suo" structure. As long as you master its characteristics, all questions will be easily solved.
Here we only briefly and clearly talk about "su + verb". Add the word in front of the verb to form a noun structure, which can be the subject or object. In fact, it refers to the object to which the verb refers. When understanding, just remove the word and add the object after the verb. "What you sow" = the crops you plant; "what you desire" = what you want; "what you read" = the books you read.
"Zai" is a verb, meaning to live in or to be in. According to the above understanding method, "where" = where you live; where.
