It was a pity. However, I can provide you with some possible reasons: 1. Different cultural and historical backgrounds: The four masterpieces are all masterpieces of Chinese novels from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, reflecting the society, politics, culture, and lifestyle of the time. These works were produced in a specific historical background and cultural tradition, with a profound historical and cultural heritage. Nowadays, the novels written by Chinese people often lacked such a historical and cultural background, and it was difficult for them to draw on and absorb these classic cultural elements. 2. Different writing environment and atmosphere: The creation of the four masterpieces is a complete creation system formed through long-term practice and exploration on the basis of traditional culture. However, the current environment and atmosphere for Chinese novelists were relatively relaxed. Without such traditional writing experience and system, it was difficult for them to create classic works similar to the Four Great Classics. 3. Different needs of readers: The four masterpieces are classics of Chinese literature with high literary and artistic value. Nowadays, Chinese people mainly wrote novels for young people and adults. The readers 'needs and expectations for literary works were different, and it was difficult to meet the readers' needs and expectations for classic works. In short, the Four Great Masterpieces are the classics of Chinese literature, reflecting the depth and breadth of Chinese traditional culture and history. However, the cultural and historical background, the writing environment and atmosphere, and the needs of readers were all different. It was difficult to create a classic work similar to the four masterpieces.
The Four Great Classics referred to the four classic works of Chinese classical novels: Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These four works had a very high status in Chinese culture and were regarded as classic literary works. Among them, Dream of the Red Chamber was hailed as the pinnacle of ancient Chinese novels. It described the style of the aristocratic society of the Qing Dynasty and the complexity of human nature, and displayed the deep meaning of Chinese traditional culture and values.

The Chinese often said that the Four Great Classics had not changed until now. Why didn't they rank the famous works according to each century? This was because the criteria for selecting famous works in China was based on literary value and influence, not on the age. Although literary works evolve and develop over time, their basic structure and theme usually remain the same. Therefore, the selection of famous works in China was usually based on the current level of literature rather than a specific period or era. Members of the China Famous Literature Selection Committee believed that the Four Great Masterpieces were classics in the history of Chinese literature, with eternal literary value and influence. These works covered different historical periods and social backgrounds, showing the richness and variety of Chinese literature. Therefore, they were regarded as outstanding representatives of Chinese literature and should not be ranked according to age. Members of China's Famous Literature Selection Committee believed that the selection criteria should be based on literary value and influence rather than time or historical background. These works are the treasures of Chinese literature, with eternal literary value and social significance, and should be fully respected and valued.

The Four Great Chinese Classics are the classics in the history of Chinese literature. They have extremely high artistic and cultural value, but their influence in the world is limited mainly because of the following reasons: 1. Difficulty of translation: The original text of the Four Great Chinese Classics is in classical Chinese. Translating it into English and other Western languages requires a lot of reduction and modification, making it difficult for more people to understand and appreciate it. 2. Cultural background: The Four Great Chinese Classics reflect the traditional Chinese culture and thoughts. Western culture is relatively mature, and their understanding and acceptance of Chinese culture is limited, so it is difficult to spread around the world. 3. Restrictions on the subject matter: The Four Great Chinese Classics mainly involve the politics, economy, military, culture and other aspects of ancient society. The subject matter is limited and it is difficult to attract the interest of readers around the world. 4. Language difficulty: Although the original text of the four famous works of China is classical Chinese, in modern society, the language difficulty of classical Chinese is relatively high. The difficulty of reading and understanding also limits its spread around the world. Although the Four Great Masterpieces of Chinese Literature occupied an important position in the history of Chinese literature, their influence in the world was limited mainly because of the difficulty of translation, cultural background, subject matter restrictions, language difficulty and other factors.
The Four Great Classics referred to 'Dream of the Red Chamber',' Journey to the West','Water Margins' and 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. They were all classics in the history of Chinese literature and were hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese classical novels. The reason why these novels were widely praised and loved in ancient times was that novels were a popular art form in the cultural background of that time, and the topics and plots depicted in these novels were in line with the values and aesthetic standards of the people at that time. In contrast, the development of modern Chinese literature lagged behind, and the artistic form and content of novels did not get much innovation and development. Due to the changes in the social and cultural environment, modern people's values and aesthetic standards have also changed, so it is difficult for modern novels to create works that are as classic as ancient novels. In addition, the development of modern Chinese literature was also influenced by various factors, including politics, economy, society, and culture. These factors have affected the development and creation of literature, and also restricted the innovation and progress of modern Chinese literature.
Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio was an important collection of novels in the history of Chinese literature, known as the pinnacle of ancient Chinese novels. However, although it was an excellent literary work, it was not officially one of the "four great masterpieces" mainly because of the following reasons: The content of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is rather dark, describing the stories of various ghosts and demons. These stories often conflict with human morality and ethics, and it is difficult to arouse people's resonance. "Journey to the West,""Water Margins,""Dream of the Red Chamber" described the story of justice defeating evil, heroes defeating the devil. These stories were more in line with the values of traditional Chinese culture, so they were more easily accepted and loved by people. Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio was short and simple in structure, so it was difficult to create a deep description of the historical and social background like Journey to the West and Outlaws of the Marsh. It also lacked the emotional description and character creation like Dream of the Red Chamber. Therefore, its influence was not as extensive and far-reaching as that of Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Dream of the Red Chamber. The characters in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio are abstract and difficult to resonate with. The relationship between the characters and the plot in the story are also complicated and difficult for the readers to understand and remember. In contrast, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Dream of the Red Chamber had clear characters and simple plots that were easier to remember and pass down. To sum up, although Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is an excellent literary work, due to its dark content, short length, abstract characters and other reasons, it has not been officially listed as the "Four Great Masterpieces". This is also because it does not conform to the values and aesthetic tastes of traditional Chinese culture.

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and The Scholars were not the official names of Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Dream of the Red Chamber, although they were widely regarded as classics in the history of Chinese literature. Journey to the West and Outlaws of the Marsh were classics in the history of Chinese literature. They were widely read and studied. 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was a classic in the Qing Dynasty and also in the history of Chinese literature.

Therefore, even though Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and The Scholars occupied an important position in the history of Chinese literature, they were not the official names of Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Dream of the Red Chamber.
