History of Classical Chinese language and it's plight in modern Chinese world
For several millennia, until the 1920s, Classical Chinese (also called Literary Chinese) was the sole accepted language of written communication throughout North Asia. It was the language of government and authority, but it was also the language of the great Chinese thinkers and poets.
Classical Chinese was, in other words, the language in which the foundations of the world’s longest continuous civilisation were first articulated.
This talk, the third event in celebration of Chinese Language Week, will consider aspects of the history of this language and its plight in the modern Chinese world.
About the speaker
Duncan Campbell has taught Chinese language, literature, and aspects of Chinese history at universities in New Zealand and Australia.
Between 2015-16, he was the Curator of the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library, USA. His research concentrates on the literary and material culture of late imperial China

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.
A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.
Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)
