Classical Chinese is the language of the classic literature from the Spring and Autumn period through to the end of the Han
Dynasty, a written form of Old Chinese. The term is also used for Literary Chinese (文言文 wényán wén, text of written language),
a traditional style of written Chinese modelled on the classical language, making it different from any modern spoken form
of Chinese. Literary Chinese was used for almost all formal writing in China until the early 20th century, and also, during
various periods, in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Among Chinese speakers, Literary Chinese has been largely replaced by written
vernacular Chinese, a style of writing that is similar to modern spoken Mandarin Chinese, while speakers of non-Chinese languages
have largely abandoned Literary Chinese in favor of local vernaculars. Literary Chinese is known as kanbun in Japanese, hanmun
in Korean, and Hán Văn in Vietnamese . |
