AB - In the 1930s, Qian Zhongshu clearly summarized his literary thoughts in a single article. Among them, Qian’s views on ‘classical Chinese’ is remarkable: the ‘The Debate over Classical Chinese and Vernacular Language’ that occurred in the complex historical background before and after the ‘May Fourth Movement’ was also seen as a revolution, but Qian regarded classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese as complementary and coexisting. In the development of vernacular literature, Qian believed that classical Chinese poetry and prose borrowed from each other, pointed out the ‘elasticity’ of classical Chinese, and regarded classical Chinese as the natural carrier of dialogue between ancient and modern times, looking for a compromise between the two and using this as a starting point to carry out his academic research; Qian and ‘classical Chinese’ have an inseparable overall connection with his academic research. Qian’s On the Art of Poetry and Limited Views: Essays on Ideas and Letters: Poetry Mind & Literary Mind were both written in classical Chinese, fully demonstrating Qian’s eclectic style of scholarship, and the implications behind it cannot be ignored. For Qian Zhongshu, classical Chinese is not just a means of writing articles and a form of written expression, but also a way to express his academic interests and methods of interpretation in an era of fierce collision between new and old cultures at home and abroad and in a turbulent political landscape. Behind it is Qian’s basic psychological and historical attitude towards literature and art.
