| | Vernacular Chinese |
 | | Jin Shengtan, who edited several novels in vernacular Chinese, is widely regarded as the champion of literature in the vernacular style. |
 | | However, it was not until after the May Fourth Movement and the promotion by scholars -- like Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Chen Duxiou, and Qian Xuantong -- that the vernacular language gained importance and became viewed as mainstream by most people. |
 | | Along with the popularity of the vernacular language in books are the addition of punctuations (traditional Chinese literature were entirely unpunctuated) and writing numbers in the Arabic style. |
