本文从现代语言哲学所强调的语言本体论出发,认为文言话语不仅仅只是一种表达工具或者言说形式,而是古代中国学术道统安身立命的中心,是一种典型的权力话语。五四新文化运动提出,反对文言文,提倡白话文,就是要打破文言的话语权力。所以,当后来现代汉语取代文言文,就是对古代传统文化的一种否定,因而造成了中国文化的一次断裂。 Based on the linguistic ontology emphasized by modern language philosophy, this article argues that classical Chinese discourse is not merely an instrument of expression or form of expression, but rather a center of ancient Chinese academic integrity and a typical power discourse. The May Fourth New Culture Movement proposed that opposing classical Chinese and promoting vernacular would mean breaking the power of discourse in classical Chinese. Therefore, when later modern Chinese replaced classical Chinese, it was a denial of ancient traditional culture, thus causing a break in Chinese culture.
