Chinese, the common language of the Han nation, is also known as Chinese and Hanwen. Other names include Guowen, Guoyu, Huawen, Huayu, Tangwen, Chinese language, as well as common names such as Tanghua and Zhonghua. Chinese belongs to the analytic language of the Sino-Tibetan language family and has tones. Chinese writing system Chinese characters are a kind of phonetic writing that not only expresses meaning but also has a certain phonetic function. Chinese includes written language and spoken language. Ancient written Chinese is called classical Chinese, and modern written Chinese generally refers to modern standard Chinese. There are many dialects of modern Chinese, and the spoken language of some dialects is quite different, while the written language is relatively unified. Before the vernacular movement during the May 4th Movement, the difference between written language and spoken language was actually the difference between ancient language and modern language. Take the Tang and Song dynasties as an example. At that time, what was spoken was vernacular and what was written was classical Chinese, which was an ancient literary style modeled on the pre-Qin scholars and widely read famous works such as "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records" (of which ancient poetry is a unique style of Chinese). This situation can probably be pushed back to the Han Dynasty. and continued until the beginning of the 20th century. Sun Yat-sen's will in 1925 was written in classical Chinese. However, classical Chinese as a written language itself has also changed over the past 2000 years. After all, it is difficult to imitate the authenticity, and it is impossible for future generations to imitate ancient sayings without being influenced by the spoken language at that time. With the advent of the Internet era, both online Chinese dictionaries, Chinese dictionary software, and Chinese dictionary software have played their due role in promoting Chinese language and culture.
