Why fewer and fewer people are reading classical literature these days

I have always loved classical literature, especially ancient poetry!

I think we should look at it this way:

In fact, classical literature is not a popular literature. From primary school students to university students, the focus of study is not on classical literature, through the language textbooks, modern literature (vernacular language) accounted for a far greater proportion of classical literature, so the role of the national basic education orientation in the invisible guide to unconsciously alienated from the classical literature! Of course, this should be viewed from a historical perspective. Since the May Fourth Movement, including Mr. Lu Xun, the so-called "pioneers of the New Culture Movement" have been attacking traditional culture, which, of course, includes the degradation of classical literature and attack, since then, the status of ancient literature is declining. In recent years, with the strengthening of our comprehensive strength, national self-esteem and pride have also grown steeply, so many scholars began to realize that there are so many things in our traditional culture has a strong vitality, and the progress of the Chinese nation today is closely related to our cultural roots. As a result, in recent years, there has been a series of emphasis on and revitalization of tradition, such as the National Studies Fever and the Tradition Fever, and the status of our classical literature has naturally and gradually been elevated. Therefore, on the whole, I am still optimistic about the appeal and future of classical literature. Of course, it is undeniable that the number of readers of classical literature is still much smaller than that of popular literature. As I said earlier, this is due to its historical origin, and the classical literature itself is a bit more difficult than modern literature, and does not belong to the "popular taste". Nowadays, the society has a high tempo and high efficiency, which emphasizes on straightforward and simple, and the fast-food culture is very popular, while the classical literature is naturally Yangchunbaixue, high and low. Where this total, read some of the classical people is not surprising! However, since it is the love of classical will not be because of the attitude of others and the tide of society and go with the flow to change their own interests, you say? I think so!
