There was no such thing as epics in China. An epic was a type of narrative literature that described the history, culture, and battle experiences of an ancient nation or country in a grand epic narrative. The creation of epics often required high literary skills and creative experience, and a lot of time and energy was invested. China had a long history and culture, but it did not produce a narrative literary work similar to an epic. Ancient Chinese literature included poems, essays, novels, and operas, but there were no narrative literature works that were widely spread and circulated like epics. Although China did not produce a literary form like epics, there were many important narrative literature works in Chinese history, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margins, Dream of the Red Chamber, and historical books such as Records of the Historian and Han Shu. These works had a profound impact on Chinese culture and society.

The main reason why there were no long epics in ancient China was that the ancient Chinese literary tradition emphasized conciseness in narration, while epics usually needed to describe a large number of characters, historical events, and plots, so it was difficult to maintain a long form. There were also many excellent long narrative works in ancient Chinese literature, such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, and Water Margins. Although these works were long, the plots were compact and the characters were vivid, which had a strong appeal and artistic value. In contrast, epics are generally regarded as a more epic work. The purpose is to show heroic deeds and pass on historical knowledge. Therefore, it pays more attention to the continuity of the plot and the accuracy of the narrative rather than the long form. In addition, the historical records and legends of ancient China were often relatively simple. The lack of detailed historical records and archaeological evidence also affected the credibility and authenticity of epics. Therefore, the long epics of ancient China may be preserved and inherited more as a cultural heritage and literary tradition rather than as a real historical record.
