The four great folktales referred to the four stories that were widely spread and deeply influenced in ancient China. They were the Legend of the White Snake, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The Legend of the White Snake is one of the earliest romance novels in China. It tells the love story between the White Lady and Xu Xian. This story was widely praised as one of the classic representatives of love in Chinese culture.

2 Journey to the West was a mythical story that described the main characters like Sun Wukong who had to go through 81 difficulties to finally obtain the true scriptures. This story was full of thrilling plots and also showed the important values of Chinese traditional culture such as courage, wisdom, kindness and so on.

The story of 108 righteous men gathering together to fight against corruption and protect the interests of the people has become a symbol of resistance to oppression in traditional Chinese culture.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on the other hand, narrated the historical story of the Three Kingdoms period, depicting the political struggles and wars between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and other major figures. This story not only reflected the political turmoil and war scenes in Chinese history, but also showed the wisdom and charm of historical figures.
