    In ancient Chinese, monosyllabic words were dominant, for example, in ancient times, the word "目" was used instead of "eye", and "table" was used instead of "table", these monosyllabic words were generally preserved relatively well in idioms, and in modern Chinese, most of them have become two-syllable polyphonic words, you can reverse it.

    For example, Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song legends, Song and Yuan dialects, Ming and Qing vernaculars**, etc., they are the direct source of modern Chinese, and there is little difference between them and modern Chinese. Even if there are some words and grammatical rules of the classical Chinese that are retained, as long as we learn the classical Chinese, the ancient vernacular can be understood. Therefore, the old vernacular is not the focus of our study.

    The part of learning classical Chinese focuses on prose rather than poetry.

    The ancient Chinese that we usually study and study refers to classical Chinese. The scope of classical Chinese is very wide, and the classics of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties are orthodox classical Chinese. After the Six Dynasties, the ancient texts written in imitation of the works of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties were also classical Chinese, such as the articles of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties (Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong).

    Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" and Gong Zizhen's "The Story of the Sick Plum Pavilion" are all classical Chinese, and they are all the contents of ancient Chinese learning and research. As for the ancient vernacular, it is not something we learn, mainly because it is not much different from modern Chinese.

    Nie Yidao served as an official in Jiangyouyi, and his virtuous mother pushed away the lost banknotes. One day, a villager went out to sell vegetables in the morning, and on the way he found 15 yuan bills. When I got home, I gave it to my mother.

    His mother said angrily, "Could it be that you stole it to deceive me?" Even if it's lost, it's just three or two, **What about a bunch?

    What's more, our family has never encountered such a thing, and disaster is coming soon! Go and return it to the owner immediately, and don't bother us!"

    Mother) tried to persuade her again, but her son still didn't listen. My mother said, "If that's the case, I have to go and tell the government."

    The son said, "To whom will you give back the things you have found?"

    Mother said: As long as you wait in the place where you found something, there will be a lost owner looking for it. The son then followed his mother's instructions and took the lost property with him.

    After a while, I saw someone looking for money. The villager was so simple and straightforward that he returned the money to the man without asking him how much money he had lost. The onlookers on the side asked the man to give some money to the villagers as a reward, but the owner said:

    I used to have thirty bills, but now I only have half of them, how can I reward him? "So they quarreled, and finally they quarreled with the yamen. Nie Yidao asked the villagers carefully, and his words were credible.

    His mother's interrogation was secretly heard, and the testimony was consistent, so they told each of them that the owner had indeed lost thirty ingots, and that the one who had found them had indeed found fifteen. The document was in the back of the official, but he told the owner that this is not your lost banknote, it must have been given by God to this virtuous mother for her old age.

    If it's thirty ingots, it's your bill. Look elsewhere.

    So he gave the money to the mother and son, and everyone who heard it applauded.
