There are also many plots with "three" in the four great novels. Here are some examples: In Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Baoyu fell into a coma because he accidentally ate poison. In order to cover up his crime, Wang Xifeng framed Jia Baoyu for being murdered. However, after the mediation of Grandmother Jia and others, Wang Xifeng was finally forced to admit her mistake and apologize to Jia Baoyu. 2. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, in order to save Tang Sanzang's master, Bodhi, who was captured by demons, caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and was finally suppressed by Buddha. Among them,"Uproar in Heaven" was the story of Sun Wukong defeating the White Bone Demon three times. 3. In Water Margins, Lin Chong was framed by Gao Yaya and sent to other places to be an official. While leaving Liangshan, Lin Chong was hunted down by Gao Qiu and the others. In the end, he managed to escape Gao Qiu's pursuit in the battle against the Zhu Village. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao offered three horses to Lu Bu in order to eliminate him. Finally, Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao. These stories all reflected the Chinese culture's idea of "never do things more than three times" and also reflected the Chinese people's spirit of not succumbing to power and courage to resist.
