As one of the Four Great Masterpieces,"Dream of the Red Chamber" was indeed very successful, but its popularity was not as good as the other three masterpieces. The main reasons were as follows: 1.

The sensitive subject matter: Dream of the Red Chamber described some sensitive topics in the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, such as marriage, class, power, etc. These contents were difficult to resonate with in modern society and were easy to cause controversy. 3. The translation problem: The Dream of the Red Chamber was originally translated into English, and English as a foreign language was not as popular as Chinese at that time. Therefore, although 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was very popular in China, it was relatively less popular in other countries. 4. Promotion: The publication and promotion of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is not as outstanding as other masterpieces, and its publicity is relatively small. Although 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was a classic literary work, its lack of publicity was one of the reasons why it was not as popular as other famous works. As for the three versus the white bone spirit and martial arts movie, although these two words were very common in Chinese, they were not in the content of "Dream of the Red Chamber". 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was a novel set in an aristocratic society. It mainly described the emotions and marriage of the characters, unlike 'Three Beats the White Bone Demon' and 'Martial Arts Film', which involved violence and action scenes.
In the Journey to the West, there were famous stories of beating the White Bone Demon three times, stealing ginseng fruits, and borrowing banana fans three times. White Bone Demon was a powerful demon. She tried to eat Tang Sanzang's meat and was defeated by Sun Wukong and the others. The Ginseng Fruit was a huge immortal fruit that could grant immortality. However, it was eaten by Zhu Bajie and Monk Sand, causing Sun Wukong and the others to chase after it. Third, Sun Wukong borrowed the banana fan. When Sun Wukong and the others were trapped in the Flaming Mountain, they needed the banana fan to fan themselves before they could continue moving forward. Sun Wukong borrowed the fan from the Bull Demon King, but was rejected by the Bull Demon King. In the end, he borrowed the fan from Princess Iron Fan and successfully fanned himself.
