There was no definite answer to this question because there was no clear definition of the word 'novel'. If we think that novels refer to literary works with fictional stories as the main content, then we can say that there are Chinese novels before classical masterpieces. Because the novel first appeared in China, and with the passage of time, the novel gradually became one of the main forms of literature. However, if we limit the definition of "novel" to works that appear in the form of novels, then the classics may have appeared earlier than novels. This was because classical works usually appeared in the form of classical literature, such as "Dream of the Red Chamber","Journey to the West", etc. These works were created on the basis of traditional Chinese culture and had a long history. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the Chinese classics came first or the novel because it depends on the definition of "novel" and the definition of "Chinese classics".
