Features: This book elucidates the historical connections between the Chinese phonetic movement, the National Language Movement, and the Vernacular Movement, which emerged from the Language Modernization Movement in early 20th-century China and had a significant impact on the development of social sciences and culture. It also explores the relationship with the later Chinese standardization movement and the formulation of the Hanyu Pinyin Scheme, providing readers with a clear understanding of this historical period. Subsequently, the author observes that as the national standard language is further promoted, discussions both domestically and internationally about Mandarin and the Hanyu Pinyin Scheme have become more intense than ever, with some even raising fundamental issues.
