Baihua Literature
Baihua Literature refers to a style of Chinese writing that uses everyday language, making it more accessible to the general public. Emerging in the early 20th century, it aimed to break away from the classical Literary Chinese style, which was often difficult for ordinary people to understand. Writers sought to express contemporary ideas and emotions in a more relatable manner.
This movement was part of the broader New Culture Movement, which advocated for modernization and reform in Chinese society. Prominent figures like Lu Xun and Hu Shi played significant roles in promoting Baihua, leading to its widespread acceptance in literature, education, and journalism.
