The Chinese Vernacular Movement began at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, mainly in the fields of literature, news, publishing, and so on. The Vernacular Movement aimed to eliminate the cumbersome and incomprehensible characteristics of classical Chinese and make the text easier for readers to read and understand. In the period of the Republic of China, classical Chinese was still the official language, especially in the government, academic, cultural and other fields. However, with the development of society and economy and the increase of people's reading needs, vernacular gradually replaced classical Chinese as the main written language. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the vernacular gradually became the main written language and has continued to this day.
In ancient China, due to the changes in different languages and the influence of cultural and historical backgrounds, it can be said that ancient Chinese and modern Chinese are very different. Ancient Chinese was often called classical Chinese, which was a form of language relative to modern Chinese. In terms of diction, grammar, sentence structure, etc., classical Chinese had its own unique characteristics. For example, the vocabulary used was relatively rich, the grammar structure was complex, and it usually used ancient sounds and ancient rhymes. In contrast, modern Chinese was a language form that was simplified, promoted, and developed based on Mandarin. Modern Chinese was relatively simple and clear in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. It usually used the standard pronunciation and finals of modern Chinese. Therefore, it can be said that ancient Chinese and modern Chinese are very different and cannot simply be called "vernacular". However, classical Chinese still has an important value and role in the field of modern literature and philology, especially in the study of ancient culture and history.
The time when China started to use the vernacular could be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty, around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, with the rise of the New Culture Movement, vernacular Chinese became popular in China and became the main language of literature and news reports. As time passed, the vernacular gradually replaced the traditional classical Chinese as the mainstream language of Chinese culture.
The beginning of the use of vernacular Chinese in China could be traced back to 1912, the year when the Republic of China was founded and the official language began to change to vernacular Chinese. Since then, vernacular Chinese has gradually become popular in Chinese culture and has become the main expression of modern Chinese.
The richest man in China during the Republic of China was Zhang Jian. He was a well-known Chinese businessman, a renowned social practitioner, and a renowned scholar. During the Republic of China, Zhang Jian had been involved in many fields, including silk, tea, porcelain, medical equipment, etc. His strength and influence were very important in the Chinese business world at that time. He has held many positions in the Chinese political arena, including the Central Executive Committee's alternate member, the Central Supervision Committee's alternate member, etc.
During the Republic of China, there were many richest people in China, but it was difficult to determine the specific person. At that time, China's politics, economy, culture and other aspects were still in a backward state, so the distribution and accumulation of wealth was also quite special. Some of the richest people came from agriculture, such as Qian Xuesen and Qian Qichen; some came from industry, such as Ding Lei and Ma Huateng; and some came from commerce, such as Zhang Jian and Huang Guangyu. Due to the historical background and cultural characteristics of China at that time, this information may not be completely accurate, so further research and verification are needed.
