China has a long history and a rich cultural heritage, so why is there no such globally popular literature as Harry Potter?

"Harry Potter" is the product of the modern form, now seems to have a strong commercial flavor, it can be with the world's many immortal masterpieces, including Chinese works, depending on whether it can withstand the test of time! China's "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the Qing Dynasty at that time has been renowned, there is "open talk not to say Dream of the Red Chamber, read all the poetry and books in vain," said, visible in the Qing Dynasty in China, the popularity of the circle of the literati, the far-reaching impact on Chinese culture! But from the birth of ancient Chinese literature until the reform and opening up, China has not been so closely integrated with the world as it is now, so many immortal masterpieces including Dream of Red Mansions did not have and could not have a strong commercial background and social environment known to the world people such as Harry Potter. Besides, in fact, due to the differences in cultural background, values and thinking patterns between Westerners and Orientals, it may take a long process of communication and integration and the disdainful efforts of Chinese writers for Chinese literature to be accepted by Westerners to a high status.

Note: Although Harry Potter is a new wave of magical novels, it can't be said that it is not literature, not because of the flow of popularity or not, nor because of the magic or not. The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries is just a detective reasoning novel, and it counts as literature, and Harry Potter is a magical novel, and it should count as well. Ancient Chinese novelists for the three religions and nine streams outside of the "not into the stream" line, want to list the hundred schools and not allowed, the world are all writing novels as a shame, now is not the same as called literature?
