This introduction is still relatively abstract, and I will give you a few examples for the latter:
The history of modern meteorology is only 100 years, and the record of modern meteorology is only 100 years at most. However, Zhu Kezhen, a famous meteorologist in China, wrote a monograph "Study on Climate Change in China in Five Thousand Years", which caused a shock in the world. Where did he get the information? From all kinds of ancient books. The meteorological data of other countries are only 100 years, while that of China is several thousand years.

2. Why do you want to learn classical Chinese? The landlord has two problems. One asked why you want to learn classical Chinese. Another asked you why you didn't inherit feudal autocracy.
This is actually a concept of stealing. I wonder if the landlord has an emotional tendency to ask this question?
Classical Chinese can be learned. Read more if you like. Don't read it if you don't like it.
But students at school have to take exams. As long as there is an exam, you must study.
After a year or two out of society, you will find that you have forgotten everything except a few famous sentences. ..
What about cultivating a sense of language and feeling the profound humanistic spirit of history is mostly nonsense.
That's the function of people's fantasy in the Ministry of Education.
Besides, even if you feel the so-called humanistic spirit, what's the use? It took me several years to find out after I came out for social work. Ah. ~ it turns out that human beings are such a spirit.
That's the function of people's fantasy in the Ministry of Education.
Besides, I don't know how to learn. Nowadays, classical Chinese in senior high schools pay attention to literal translation, and free translation is allowed in rare cases.
Literal translation means to translate every word.
The characteristics that led to the conciseness of classical Chinese were also lost.
On the other hand, classical Chinese still requires basic comprehension, but literal translation is absolutely unnecessary. Some classical books of China are worth reading, especially the Twenty-four History. If you want to know its way, you must follow history first. Studying history is very helpful for grasping the situation and analyzing problems. The remembrance of the past is the teacher of the future Even if you come out to work, you will find it true. However, many classic books are branded with other people's attitudes and opinions when translated, which may be distorted.
But it is biased for the landlord to say why he didn't inherit feudal autocracy. History is a process, created by human beings. Feudal autocracy has its economic foundation, and changing it does not depend on people's consciousness. Only when a certain ruling group asks it to go backwards can it go backwards.
Even if the current ruling group says that it is not feasible to abolish modern Chinese and use classical Chinese. Just like when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism, although he lost some valuable culture, what should be circulated will still be passed down.
Where to inherit feudal autocracy? Is impossible to achieve.
But from a modern perspective, is feudal autocracy really useless? At least in its rising period, it promoted development, but later it was replaced by another ideology and culture.
Therefore, learning classical Chinese is a personal emotional tendency, which is related to individuals. Besides, at least it's harmless to individuals. Inheriting feudal autocracy concerns everyone, and the interests are more entangled. Besides, objective reality does not allow it, so inheritance is not allowed.
3. What is classical Chinese? The so-called "classical Chinese" seems to be the language used in ancient China. Articles written in this language are called "classical Chinese".
Before the May Fourth Movement, classical Chinese was a universal official text norm, which was widely used in the literati class of society, including books, manuscripts, letters, various official documents, official documents and other documents and texts at that time. At the beginning of the May 4th Movement in modern times, with the appeal and promotion of some literati, vernacular Chinese was advocated and gradually became the written language standard of modern Chinese texts.
Compared with the vernacular, the words used in classical Chinese are extremely concise, the sentence patterns are diverse, and the application of function words and auxiliary words is very particular. The application of language phonology is very strict.
Classical Chinese is also divided into many different genres, which are basically divided into two categories: verse and prose (articles that don't rhyme have different meanings from today's prose). Among them, verse is dominant in classical Chinese, and some official documents, such as praises, tables, obituaries, essays, etc., usually require the form of verse.
The most representative essay is Historical Records, which was later called "Li Sao has no rhyme". After the Tang Dynasty, under the advocacy of Han Yu and others, scholars began to create a large number of essays. Classical Chinese prose reached its peak in Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.
