Each literary genre was divided into different categories. Among them, the " three-division method " divided the literary genre into four categories: narrative, lyric, description, and discussion. Each category was further divided into several sub-categories, while the " four-division method " divided the literary genre into four categories and then divided them into several sub-categories according to different characteristics and elements. The "Method of Trisection" divided the literary genre into four categories: narrative, lyric, description, and discussion. Each category was further divided into several sub-categories. For example, narrations could be divided into historical novels, science fiction novels, martial arts novels, romance novels, etc.; lyrical novels could be divided into poems, novels, essays, etc.; descriptions could be divided into biographies, novels, essays, etc.; and argumentative novels could be divided into philosophy, history, sociology, etc. The "quartering" method divided the literary genre into four categories and then divided it into several sub-categories according to different characteristics and elements. For example, the four major categories include: historical novels, science fiction, martial arts novels, and romance novels. Each category is further divided into several subcategories. For example, historical novels can be divided into official history and unofficial history, science fiction can be divided into scientific fantasy and science fiction, and martial arts novels can be divided into traditional martial arts and modern martial arts. These two classification methods have their advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different situations and reader groups. Generally speaking, the " three-division method " was more concise and could quickly summarize the types of literary works, but it could also lead to over-simplifications in classification; while the " four-division method " was more detailed and comprehensive, and could better reflect the characteristics and elements of different literary styles, but it could also lead to over-complicated classification.
