It offers a history of reform and change in the Chinese language throughout the country?s history, and focuses on the concept of ?baihua?, a language reform movement championed by Hu Shi and other scholars which laid the foundation for the May fourth New Literature Movement, the larger New Culture Movement and which now defines modern Chinese. Examining the differences between classical and modern Chinese language systems alongside an investigation into the relevance and impact of translation in this language revolution - notably addressing the pivotal role of May Fourth leader Lu Xun - this book provides a rare insight into the evolution of the Chinese language and those who championed its development. 606 $aPhilology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aChinese language 606 $aOriental literature 606 $aLanguage and Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000 606 $aChinese$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N18000 606 $aAsian Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aChinese language. 615 0$aOriental literature. 615 14$aLanguage and Literature. 615 24$aChinese. 615 24$aAsian Literature. 676 $a400 700 $aGao$b Yu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0980238 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300562203321 996 $aThe Birth of Twentieth-Century Chinese Literature$92235967 997 $aUNINA
