[Contemporary: Formal Horizontal Writing]

From 65438+65438+/kloc-0 in 0956 to 1 in October, People's Daily and domestic local newspapers were all changed to horizontal rows. Since then, except for ancient books, all kinds of publications have been changed to horizontal arrangement.

What is the general typesetting method of books in the Republic of China? I have seen a book shadow of a book of the Republic of China. The title of the cover is arranged horizontally from right to left. Was this title typesetting common or popular at that time? What is the layout of such a book?

[Modern Times: Start writing horizontally]

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, some intellectuals were studying western culture, so it was inconvenient to write Chinese characters vertically, because they often quoted foreign languages, wrote Arabic numerals and used new punctuation marks. As a result, the intelligentsia began to advocate the reform of Chinese characters and pinyin characters, and strongly demanded to change the traditional vertical writing method and use the horizontal writing arrangement from left to right. However, due to the rise of national quintessence, horizontal arrangement is accused of being "outrageous", which is a "crab-like writing" that runs rampant like a crab, and vertical arrangement has made a comeback and made a lot of noise. The implementation of horizontal lines is difficult.
