There was an old saying in China that said," things should not happen more than three times." It meant that if something happened a third time, more severe measures must be taken. 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.

The Four Great Classics of China referred to the four novels, Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These four novels were all classics in the history of Chinese literature and were regarded as one of the treasures of Chinese culture. Among them, Romance of the Three Kingdoms was regarded as the pinnacle of ancient Chinese novels. It used the history of the Three Kingdoms period as the background to describe the political struggles and military wars between Wei, Shu and Wu. It showed the wisdom and bravery of historical figures, and also reflected the social style and people's lives at that time. " Dream of the Red Chamber " described the love story of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and others in the aristocratic society of the Qing Dynasty. It reflected the various ills of feudal society and the deep thinking of human nature. Journey to the West, on the other hand, narrated the legendary story of Tang Sanzang and his disciples going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It used Buddhist beliefs as the theme to show the kindness, courage, and wisdom of human nature. Water Margins, on the other hand, depicted 108 righteous men fighting against oppression. With heroism as the theme, it reflected the Chinese people's call for justice, fairness, and freedom. The reason why these four novels are called the Four Great Classics of China is because they have extremely high literary value, historical value, and cultural value. They have an important position and influence not only in China but also in the history of world literature. They not only reflect the style of ancient Chinese society and people's lives, but also show the wisdom and beliefs of the Chinese people. They have become the treasures of Chinese culture and have had a profound impact on Chinese literature, culture and history.
In fact, there were no literary works in China that were called the "Five Great Masterpieces". The four masterpieces were "Dream of the Red Chamber","Journey to the West","Water Margins", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". These four works all had a wide audience and far-reaching influence, and were regarded as classics of Chinese literature. However, in some cultural circles, there may be works called the "five masterpieces". These works are different from the four works mentioned above, but they also have an important status and far-reaching influence. For example, Water Margins and Romance of the Three Kingdoms were widely regarded as classics in Chinese culture, while Dream of the Red Chamber was regarded as one of the best works in the history of Chinese literature. The term "five great masterpieces" may have originated from the recommendation or recognition of certain cultural circles, but there is no official or objective standard to evaluate which works are truly masterpieces.
