Which is the best movie among the four classic novels and why?

The four classic novels include A Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Journey to the West. These four classic novels are classics in the history of China literature, and they are also valuable cultural heritages in the world. Which of the four classical novels is the best? In fact, this question is very difficult to answer. Because these four masterpieces are inseparable in the history of China literature, they all have extremely high literary level and artistic achievements, which can really be described as the four great monuments in the history of China literature.

I. A Dream of Red Mansions

A Dream of Red Mansions completely breaks the single-line structure of traditional novels, with Jia Baoyu as the central figure and the love and marriage disputes among Jia, Lin and Xue as the clues throughout. However, instead of adopting the usual single-line structure, the author ignores all kinds of social relations related to the central plot and describes the central characters and events exclusively. Instead, he puts the central characters and events in a complex environment and keeps pace with all kinds of contradictory clues in the living environment, revealing the internal relationship between the central plot and other plots. Therefore, the plot of A Dream of Red Mansions, like life itself, has multi-level and multi-faceted characteristics.

Second, the Water Margin

Outlaws of the Marsh is appraised by foreign writers as "a great social document of China's life". They think that the plot of Water Margin is "epic" and that it is similar to the Spanish tramp novel of17th century.

The Water Margin is the first vernacular novel in the history of China. As a new style, it has since established its due position in the field of literature, and began to gradually change the face of the literary world with poetry as its authenticity. It established the national form and style of China's ancient novels, which were loved by the broad masses of the people and formed the unique aesthetic psychology and appreciation habits of the Chinese nation.

Three. Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical novel in terms of novel form. It uses seven realities and three vacuities to describe historical events. Its literary value is very high, but its social influence far exceeds its literary value. Luo Guanzhong, the author of this book, combines culture from two different levels of elegance and vulgarity, and distorts it according to his own subjective understanding, values and artistic likes and dislikes, thus making his works rich in cultural connotations. In The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, there are not only the refraction of the ideology of the upper ruling class, but also profound folk thoughts. It is a visualized history of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms and a political and military history in the eyes of the people.

Fourth, Journey to the West.

The Journey to the West is the first romantic novel with chapters and sections in ancient China. The book mainly describes the story that the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand, led by Tang Priest and his disciples, went west to learn Buddhist scriptures, exorcised demons all the way, and finally arrived in the Western Heaven to visit the Tathagata Buddha after 81 difficulties, and finally realized the dream of the last five saints. The Journey to the West is a classic of China's ghost novels, reaching the peak of ancient romance novels. After self-questioning and self-answering, Journey to the West has been widely circulated among the people, and many versions have emerged one after another. There were six editions in Ming Dynasty, seven editions and manuscripts in Qing Dynasty, and thirteen editions of ancient books were lost. After the Opium War, The Journey to the West was spread to the west and translated into English, and the west also spoke highly of this novel.
