How did the four wonderful books and other classic works of Ming Dynasty nourish our national culture? accomplish

It is worth cherishing and advocating.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, people called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, The Journey to the West and Jin Ping Mei "the Four Wonders". These four novels not only occupy an important position in the literary history of the Ming Dynasty, but also cannot be underestimated in the whole history of China traditional culture. Recently, someone said, "The books that have influenced the China world are not classics of politics, philosophy and history, nor are they classics translated from the west, but two literary classics, The Water Margin and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Regrettably, while he played such a big role in his novels, he said that these two novels were "worship of violence" and "worship of political skills", "both books that caused mental disasters" and "the gates of China people's hell". Some people simply say that TV dramas such as Water Margin should be banned. As for Journey to the West, some people regard it as a "game", but perhaps they don't think it can have much positive significance to society and life. As for Jin Ping Mei, in some people's eyes, it is an obscene book and I'm afraid it should be burned. Can the "four wonderful books" really only produce some negative energy to today's society? I think, if we can treat the traditional culture with a realistic attitude and fully grasp the spirit of these "four wonderful books", especially the main spirit, we will not see Mount Tai, but we will see that these traditional literary classics are full of some life wisdom and excellent spirit on which our Chinese nation depends, which is worth cherishing and carrying forward.

National culture is the sum total of material and spiritual wealth that can reflect the national characteristics produced and created by a certain nation in the long-term production and life practice. National culture reflects the historical development level of a nation.
