Abstract: During the New Culture Movement,the topic of “Chinese character reform” kept a continuous heat in the New Youth journal,and the creation of independent Chinese Pinyin characters with Latin alphabet became an ideal plan for some new intellectuals. After the New Culture Movement,with the further advancing of the National Language Movement supported by the government,the best practical conditions that favored the creation of Chinese Pinyin characters via Roman letters had formed,and additionally the participation of government also offered the best communication personnel platform for those intellectuals who were devoted to this reforming cause,and ultimately these factors jointly accelerated the debut of the Chinese romanization scheme,which was finally accepted as the legitimate solution by Nanjing National Government,and which was the first officially recognized solution that use Roman letters for phonetic notation. The existence of the phonetic notation greatly limits the space for the “Gwoyeu Romatzyh” to play a role,but the Chinese romanization scheme and the legitimized Chinese Pinyin scheme which was made after the 1949 by the new government of the People's Republic of China display some noticeable historical continuity in terms of technology and function orientation,which,to some extent,indirectly confirms the modernity and rationality of the Chinese romanization scheme.

Key words: National Language Movement, Gwoyeu Romatzyh, phonetic notation, QIAN Xuantong
