The beginning of20century has witnessed a decline of feudalism in China. In order tosolve the emerging problems in relation to politics, economy, diplomacy and society, itis essential for China to take a reform to get away from feudalism in order to reachModernization. Regarding the practice of traditional language, the popular practice is abinary system: Vernacular Chinese and classical Chinese do not match. The people whouse the Vernacular Chinese and the ones who use classical Chinese belong to two different groups. This has built up the foundation of the rules of agricultural culture, whichis in favor of the despotism and hierarchy.Therefore, the Vernacular Chinese movement is still being held in modern times, whichplays a fundamental role in transforming agriculture civilization to industrial civilization.It is including:1.the fact that the mainstream speech turns into Vernacular destructs the control of society values by ruling elite, which later on leads to the secularization.2.The fact that mainstream speech turns into Vernacular destructs monopoly in the theoryby ruling elite, which creates the condition of modern enlightenment.3. The fact thatmainstream speech turns into Vernacular shakes the political pattern controlled by rulingelite, providing the possibility for modern democratic politics.In the process of modernization, China has gone through three steps including the Implementation, Innovation, Politics Innovation and Minimalism Innovation. Later on, China’smainstream value turns into socialism. In fact, Marxism has its roots in the common people when it was born, which conforms to the development tendency of China. Besides, it is also pertinent to the demands of establishing a sovereignty country and Chinesepeople’s desire to modern human rights.There is no doubt that Vernacular movement plays the key role in the introduction, spreadof Marxism and stimulation of revolution. Firstly, Vernacular has broken down the mono poly of classical Chinese and has contributed to the wide spread of Marxism theory fromtheory to practice.Thus,the mass language can explain Marxism. Secondly,Vernacular is the symbol system of mass process of Marxism, it brings the revolution of communication and stimulates thoughts of the Chinese people. It does not bring the convenience for the people to learn Marxism, but also pushthe communication between the mass people and Marxism, creating the condition to spread the Marxism. Thirdly, the intellectuals of Marxism use Vernacular professional languageto explain the issue of practice of Socialism, providing the possibility for the mass people to join the history practice and to strive for their own benefits.Language and literature are one of key elements for civilization, and affect history’s direction. There is no doubt that vernacular movement in China is one of most importanthistorical events in the history of modernization.
