It was a complicated question whether the Chinese characters were accurately expressed in classical Chinese or vernacular Chinese. Both classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese had their own advantages and disadvantages. The expression of classical Chinese was more rigorous and focused on the accuracy of grammar and words to express more complicated meanings. However, the expression of classical Chinese is more difficult to understand, especially in modern Chinese, it is no longer widely used. In contrast, the expression of the vernacular was more easy to understand, focusing on the use of spoken language and slang, which could better adapt to the fast pace and variety of modern society. However, the grammar and wording of vernacular Chinese were sometimes not precise enough, which might lose the accuracy of some classical Chinese expressions. Therefore, the choice of text expression needed to be based on different scenarios and needs. In some important occasions, such as official documents, academic papers, etc., classical Chinese should be used to express themselves, while in easy-to-understand occasions, such as news reports, novels, movies, etc., vernacular should be used to express themselves.

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.
