Before, some netizens said that they didn't think Four Great Classical Novels was awesome, which was normal. Different people have different opinions, but it is too hasty to comment without a good understanding.

Take Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an example, which is the first novel in China. What are the literary works before the Ming Dynasty? Poetry and songs, are there chapters and novels? It is a model for the creation of historical novels and provides a model for the emergence of historical novels. Since then, similar novels have begun to emerge in large numbers. Romance of the Three Kingdoms has had a great influence on social culture: it is an image of a hundred years' war history, an encyclopedia of ancient military culture and an encyclopedia of strategy. The war description in Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms had a great influence on the uprising since Ming and Qing Dynasties. More importantly, its artistic technique of alternating reality and reality, typed characterization method and unique fan-shaped network structure. ...

The Water Margin also has its social and literary influence. As far as literary value is concerned, its structure, layout and characterization are very successful. The characterization of Water Margin changed from characterization to characterization. It is a successful paradigm of heroic legendary novels in later generations, which has a great influence on historical romance novels, case-solving novels, love stories, and even opera and Quyi. Many artists, thinkers and literary critics often take Water Margin as an example to analyze literary theory, loyalty and its linear structure, and it is also a model for later generations. In terms of social influence, Water Margin is regarded as a scourge by the rulers. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, farmers and outlaws often rebelled in the spirit of outlaws and played the banner of protecting the sky. Therefore, the outlaws of the Marsh have been repeatedly banned.

As for The Journey to the West, the author's exaggeration and illusory consciousness in creating a paradise and a pure land world pushed the description of the mythical world to the extreme. He created a large number of images of gods and demons with strange images and superb skills, and weaved one magical story after another. When telling magical stories, he gave full play to "Zhuangzi is harmonious but different" in China's ancient literature. The author uses a large number of humorous words, and his language style is relaxed, lively, optimistic and humorous, and his language image rhymes, which has made great achievements in the personalization and colloquialism of characters' language.

Literary masterpieces cannot be finished in a few words. Besides, we are not experts in this field, so be it. I didn't want to say anything at first, but I was very upset to see someone look down on those cultural masterpieces.
