Problem is use when of does the classical Chinese write? Ming and Qing? Is 
Tang Sung period? Or does QIN2 HAN4 is period? Or to is more early? Each 
period classical Chinese differ very greatly.The Manchu Dynasty and Han 
dynasty rise of test twice according to the custom of the ancient works, be 
for can let the then person comprehend the people of the past's  work of 
classical Chinese.The ancients is still not apprehensibility more early the 
classical Chinese of the ancients, so which period classical Chinese we use to 
write worthwhile discussion.If use the MIng and Qing period classical  Chinese 
writing, that is much more simple, plus some 之乎者也, delete 的了呢.( this and 
Chinese  version difference not big)If use first Qin's classical Chinese 
write, having no several individuals perhaps can write.
