As one of the most important tools in social intercourse, only the highly standard language can adapt to the needs of the information society. The mixture usage of literary style and vernacular Chinese style will not conform to the language modernization and the language standardization. However, this phenomenon prevails in the Chinese language teaching of the middle school. In recent years, middle school students who wrote compositions in literary style in the college entrance examination were encouraged and the tendency of using literary style is more and more intensely, which is worth of being paid attention.What kind of harm does this mixture phenomenon may cause? It will not do good to stimulate students' learning interests, mislead to students' language use and cause a backwards, disobey the related national language laws, not beneficial to the information processing of Chinese and to the globalization of the Mandarin Chinese.The reasons why some people choose the mixture use of the literary style and vernacular Chinese style are actually unreasonable.
