Is the popular interpretation of China's classics conducive to the inheritance of traditional culture?

First of all, read classical Chinese when reciting. Classical Chinese is a beautiful grammar, which is completely different from vernacular Chinese in reading. Moreover, the popular interpretation is not necessarily correct, because the ancient lifestyle is completely different from the modern one, and it is extremely difficult for modern people to correctly interpret a classic text if they are not experts in Chinese studies. In particular, the Four Books and Five Classics were formed in the Zhou Dynasty, and their contents are very different from the characters and grammar after the development of Han culture, which is very easy to be misunderstood. For example, in the Analects of Confucius, there are three mainstream solutions to the sentence "learning to be an official is excellent", and no result has been debated so far. In this academic environment, if we all use popular explanations to explain classical Chinese, it should be even more detrimental to the inheritance of traditional culture.
