The Four Great Books became the Four Great Classics, which one was replaced at that time?

Four Wonder Books"This concept was first proposed in the Ming Dynasty by Wang Shizhen, a famous literary critic at that time. The four strange books selected by Wang Shizhen were "Historical Records", "Zhuangzi", "Water Margin", and "The Legend of the West Chamber", but they were not recognized by the literati circle at that time. After that, Feng Menglong found four representative works from the four genres, and regarded "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Golden Vase Plum", and "Water Margin" as the four strange books, which were recognized by the reading circle.

But later, "The Golden Vase of Plums" was kicked out, and the later work "Dream of Red Mansions" replaced it as one of the four strange books.

It was replaced by "The Golden Plum", a book that describes the dark side of society at the time, so it was later replaced.

Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The four strange books of the Ming Dynasty refer to "The Golden Bottle", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Journey to the West", and are known as the "Four Great Strange Books" of ancient China.

These four parts basically represent the four types of ancient China, namely the world**, historical romance**, heroic legends**, gods and demons**; In fact, they are the continuation and development of the four main schools of speaking art in the Southern Song Dynasty: that is, "The Golden Vase Plum" is the development of **family**, and it is the first Zhanghui style long story independently created by literati in China; "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the development of history, and it is the first long chapter in my country; "Water Margin" is about the development of Tie Qi'er, the first chapter hui style written in vernacular in Chinese history**; "Journey to the West" is the development of the Sutra, which is an artistically accomplished and influential masterpiece of romanticism, and the first full-length novel in my country.

The masterpiece of historical romance "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the form of history as a structure, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" has laid the basic framework for it. The author tells the story of the Three Kingdoms, you have me, I have you, and the story of one country is always intrinsically related to the other two countries. As Mao Zonggang said in "Reading the Law of the Three Kingdoms":

The book "Three Kingdoms" has a big response from the beginning to the end, and a big lock in the middle"; "From beginning to end, there is no place to break". This form of structure is rare in Western history** and is known to researchers as a rope-braided structure.

The model of the heroic legend "Water Margin", its structural form, in the terminology of Jin Shengsi, is called "Luanjiao Continuation Method", that is, when describing the experience of a character, he meets another character who does not know each other on a specific occasion, thus leading to the story of another character. For example, Lu Zhishen uprooted the willow tree to lead Lin Chong, and Song Jiang stumbled at Chai Rong's house to lead Wu Song. The key to this structure is to carefully conceive a specific occasion so that the transition from one character story to another must be natural and subtle.

To summarize today, "Water Margin" is a buckle-like structure: after the story of one or two or three heroes is told, it naturally leads to the story of another or two or three heroes, which are interlocking, and finally one hundred and eight heroes gather in Liangshan. Jin Shengsi's "Reading the Fifth Genius Calligraphy" summed it up well:

"Water Margin" came out alone, and it was clearly a biography. As for the intermediate deeds, they are written paragraph by paragraph. ”

The storyline of "Journey to the West", the leader of gods and demons, is composed of three parts: the birth, learning and rebellion of Sun Wukong; the reason for learning the scriptures and the origin of Tang monks; The four Tang monks and apprentices took the journey of the West. Due to the limitations of the original Tang monk Xitian scripture story, "Journey to the West" adopts a vertical structure of single-line development.

However, the author, with his superb artistic skills, organically organizes the intricate and bizarre content into a system.

1. In the complete huge structure, people call it a bead chain structure.

The creator of the world, "The Words of the Golden Bottle", is characterized by its structure of looking at society, life and the times through the family.

The four strange books, Lao Tzu's books are on the list, and the first is called the Book of the Emperor.

Chinese culture is vast and profound, and in its thousands of years of history, countless magical works have emerged, which are incomprehensible to ordinary people, and only people with superior wisdom can understand the mysteries. These esoteric and difficult books are also known as "heavenly books", so let's take a look at what are the four ancient strange books?

Fourth, "The True Book of Luban Wordless Heavenly Book".

This book is written by Lu Ban, but this book is very magical. Lu Ban, a carpenter, isn't his book a book about carpentry? There are four volumes in this book, which are divided into yang and yin volumes.

The most amazing thing is the Yin Book, which is a wordless book in the sky, and does not set up words. And there is a characteristic that you can't see the light. The only thing that can be seen is the "dark light".

This "dark light" represents the light that appears in a specific place, at a specific time, in a specific environment. As long as you are a person who learns the content of this book, there will always be bad luck in your life, either blind and deaf, or lame, or sick and sick, and disasters continue to harm your loved ones, which is really mysterious.

3. "Hetuluo Book".

Hetu and Luo Shu are two mysterious patterns handed down in ancient China, which have always been considered to be the source of Heluo culture and the source of Chinese civilization. Hetu Luoshu is composed of 10 black and white dots in a unique way, wherein: the black dots even number represents "yin"; The odd number of white dots represents "yang".

The River Tuluo Book is very magical, all of which are from the ancient river, and Dayu is also because of these two drawings to control the water. It is incredible that 10 black and white dots can successfully control the water.

2. Tao Te Ching

The book "Tao Te Ching" was written by Lao Tzu, who was unattainable and unfathomable. As a great thinker, philosopher, writer and historian in ancient China, and the founder and main representative of the Taoist school, his influence is far-reaching. The harsh words in the Tao Te Ching hide the ordinary side of Lao Tzu, but he has always had an impact on our daily lives.

1. "Qimen Dunjia".

Qimen Dunjia is an ancient Chinese work of mathematics, which was considered to be a science of heaven and earth creation in ancient times, and was also known as the Book of Emperors. Because it is known as the highest level of learning in Huang Lao Taoism, once the learner is completed, he will be the emperor of the world. Therefore, this book is not easily revealed, in addition to being forbidden by the government, it is also dictated by secret teachers.

Its founder is the Nine Heavens Xuannu, which shows that this book is even more unfathomable.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Qimen Dunjia, Dream of Red Mansions, Criminal Law.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas takes you to know the world.

Qimen Dunjia will take you to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well.

Dream of Red Mansions takes you to learn about interpersonal relationships.

Criminal law takes you on the path to riches.

Zhu Xian, Ethereal Journey, Legend of Little Soldiers The fourth book is uncertain. Personally, it is estimated that it is a mercenary world.

Zhu Xian, Ethereal Journey, Legend of Little Soldiers, Mercenary World.

Extraction code: tfa6 The folk saying about ancient masterpieces is not the current "four masterpieces", but the "six masterpieces". At that time, the six famous novels were "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "The Outer History of Confucianism" and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".

The two books are "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" written by Pu Songling during the Kangxi period and "The Outer History of Confucianism" written by Wu Jingzi during the Qianlong period. It was removed due to insufficient acceptance by the people and some problems with the work itself.

The two books that were deleted were "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and "The Outer History of Confucianism". The former one was about ghosts, and the latter was too satirical about the society at the time, and of course I thought it might have a bad impact on teenagers, so it was eventually deleted.

The six famous works have become four famous works, and the two of them that have been deleted are "The Golden Vase Plum" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", which are also relatively famous.
